Road trip season is upon us. Whether you’re visiting family, the
mountains, the beach, a theme park, or some other adventure, costs can add up
quickly. Before you embark on your next road trip, give the following road trip
MPG tips a try. Maximizing your MPG will save you money at the pump, which in
turn will give you more money to spend on fun activities.
Tire Pressure:
Underinflated tires lower your MPG and cost you money, as well as wear out
your tires faster and unevenly. Tire pressure changes as the temperature
outside changes. So, even if you had your tire pressure checked last month,
make sure to check your tire pressure before you embark on your road trip.
Adjust the tire pressure as needed.
Filters:
Dirty air and oil filters are the biggest causes for lower MPG. Before
you leave on your trip, make sure your air filter is clean and you’ve changed
your oil filter. Your MPG and wallet will thank you.
Clean Under
the Hood
Clean up all debris, leaves, dust, and other foreign objects that don’t
belong under the hood of your vehicle. Disintegrated leaves and other dirt can
clog radiators, which in turn can cause overheating. It can also cause poor A/C
performance and clog your air filter, which will hurt your MPG. So, before you
leave, make sure you clean under your hood.
The certified technicians at Jiffy Lube Idaho are also here to help you
prepare for your road trip adventures. Just stop by for a Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change and our Jiffy Lube Idaho technicians will not only change

road trip without worry.
