Can Jeep Maintenance Help Reduce Gas Costs?

It’s no secret that gas prices are rising all around the country, and it’s putting a strain on Jeep drivers’ pockets. There are several things you can do to yourself to save on gas, but the best way to up your fuel economy is through routine Jeep maintenance at Kearny Mesa Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM.

Here are some examples of tasks you can schedule at our Jeep Service Center that should help your MPG.

Tire Care

Over- or under-inflated tires are one of the biggest culprits of wasted gas. Even a small gap in the recommended PSI can cause a significant reduction in fuel economy.

Tire rotations are also important, as resistance and wear created by misaligned tires can reduce your mileage as well.

Oil Changes

Both too much and too little oil in your engine can create added friction and reduce the power your vehicle can produce. Clean oil is a much more efficient lubricator, so be sure you’re getting your oil changed at regular intervals at our California Jeep dealership.

Air Intake and Exhaust

Your engine needs to breathe to be able to function properly and efficiently. If the air intake system or your exhaust system are restricted, it will limit your engine’s power.

Have these components inspected regularly at our Jeep service center.

Air Conditioning

It takes power to run your AC, and if the system isn’t running at its best, it will drag more power from your engine and reduce your fuel economy. Ensure each part of your AC system is running properly to reduce the drain on your engine.

If your recent fuel economy in your Jeep SUV seems to be dragging, it’s time to schedule Jeep service at Kearny Mesa Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM. Contact us today to learn more.
