How To Increase Gas Mileage In Your Car (MPG Hacks)

[@TheSimpleDriver]

Tip #9 is HUGE! Don't Do This...LOL

[@theridesharesarge5326]

During summer months the rule I use to run the A/C is over 40 mph windows up A/C on. Under 40 mph windows down and A/C off.

[@sbc_jake_9677]

Also worth mentioning is replacing the fuel filter. And some advanced tips messing with aerodynamics ie. Vortex generators, undertrays, diffusers, and putting a performance tune on the computer

[@cloudchaser9951]

whats a good brand for oil filters?

[@tex959]

great advice.. few other tips like clogged catalytic convertor or muffler.. worn plugs, dirty or bad sensors like the O2 or MAP, dirty fuel injectors.. and about 50 other things.. but you got the top 10 for sure.

[@TheSimpleDriver]

tex959 Those things definitely rob you of gas mileage. Thanks for commenting.

Good basic recommendations to follow in order to improve MPG. Just to expand a little, on point 4, it is really best to go by the PSI rating on the tire, and not the manufacturer recommended PSI. Auto Engineers make a recommendation based on comfort, and not MPG. For MPG, the tire pressure should be the PSI rating on the tire, minus 10-15%. For example, for a 44 PSI tire, the best PSI for MPG would be between 38 and 40PSI.

[@greeneking77]

I pump mine up to 46-48psi unless it's really hot. I figure the tire companies don't want lawsuits so they make them able to take more than stated.

Great video man, good stuff.

[@CarltonLewis]

Great tips! 💯

[@OakRidgeKennelsLLC]

Thanks for the advice!

[@cnyce6562]

Great video!!

[@roberthudsonjr7174]

Thank you sir!

[@TheSimpleDriver]

No problem Robert :-)

[@christianworthinton8000]

My tires looked perfectly fine. Pressure guage showed they were at 15 psi.

[@217ShowOffBoii]

Can you give more details on why we don't have to warm up the engine before driving? I've always been told to do so

[@MrRArenth]

Today's vehicles do not need to warm up. In the past it was a good idea to warm up your engine, but not anymore. The engines computer and other systems automatically compensate.

[@217ShowOffBoii]

@@MrRArenth makes sense. Just to be clear, I have a 2011 Corolla so I wouldn't need to warm it up?

[@moileung]

@@217ShowOffBoii I drive a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire. I give it a good 30 seconds after ignition then zoom zoom

[@erichaynes88]

50 years ago engines had looser mechanical tolerances. As the motor heats up the metal parts inside the engine expand and the tolerances become tighter. Modern engines have tighter tolerances and therefore much less wear and tear operating cold.

[@skinder007able]

Ok i’ve been telling Ford please please do something about it I got my F150 2018 sport super crow 2.7 I’m telling you man gas cap doesn’t have anything just open and let it away guess what after while just like the way you said leak air hey here is money that is fuel so please advise everyone or the Ford whoever designed it let’s have a cab we can lock it.

[@ricky8567]

My 2015 ford focus doesn't have a fuel tank unscrew cover. Just the lid that opens like a door. Is air getting in?

[@tex959]

most likely not or your check engine light will illuminate. I have the same set up. This type of fuel inlet seals like the screw in type.

[@TheSimpleDriver]

@Tex959 is right Ricky.

[@christianworthinton8000]

The fuel cap gasket stops fuel vapors going into the environment as per EPA regs. Air needs to enter your fuel tank as you use the fuel, or it would implode...

#5 SLICK 50 in your oil reduces friction , gets best mileage

[@boostedproblems5139]

44psi is the max psi the tire can handle without exploding. never ever use this as a starting point! anywhere between 32-35psi is a good starting point. I too have come across people over the years that swore by 44psi, everyone of them had no tread left in the center because they were bulging like a balloon. once I pointed this out they reduced to 35 lol

[@SMD-si7fm]

It's based off vehical weight. Big diesel pick up trucks run 80psi in the rear from factory.

[@davidmccarron4832]

1 only if you have a old car with a MY £1000 GAS BILL A YEAR IS NOW £50 YORE AMAZING

[@linwoodvleegmailcom]

acually under 60 miles per hour gets the best mpg

[@linwoodvleegmailcom]

# 6 , get a professional tune up , by a emmission expert

[@djgainsbond]

Great tips, however I wouldn't say increase your mileage. Maintain to manufacturer's specs... suuuuure

[@TheSimpleDriver]

DJ Gains Bond LOL, I only say increase because most people’s gas mileage is LOW and they need this information to increase it. You are correct though. These tips will help you maintain the manufactured gas specs.

[@linwoodvleegmailcom]

#4 higher psi tires get best mileage , 44psi is better than 35 psi ,

[@linwoodvleegmailcom]

#8 wrong , do warm up your car , it will get 20 % better mileage .

[@abka5532]

You can just highlight the bullet points. No need to go into lengthy detail. 10 minutes of my life is precious.

[@TheSimpleDriver]

Ab Ka I’ll put bullet points in the description next time. I respect you life minutes. Remember, for every minute you watch is 10-minutes of editing and research for me. My life minutes are important too. 😃

[@Alex-fs3db]

@@TheSimpleDriver don’t listen to this clown. Keep doing you. I watched. You put in work. I respect it.

[@linwoodvleegmailcom]

#1 a dirty air filter gets better mpg in japanese cars !!!! , the computer regulates the fuel to match air intake ,

[@OGmrjam0]

Would have helped your point to add up the total savings if you follow all 10 tips.

[@TheSimpleDriver]

OGmrjam0 I’ll put that information in the description. Great point and comment.
