How to Improve Your Fuel Efficiency

With fuel prices uncertain, an increasing number of drivers are asking how to boost their miles per gallon. Optimizing your Audi fuel efficiency by altering your driving behavior and scheduling maintenance is a great way to save at the pump. The team at Audi Santa Monica shares these Audi-specific fuel efficiency tips.

Predictive Efficiency Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control

Many modern Audi cars come with an advanced feature called Predictive Efficiency Assist that is designed to help you conserve energy without sacrificing the brand’s legendary driving excitement. It uses navigation data and radar sensors to suggest when to lift your foot off the gas for upcoming speed limit changes or curves. And when Adaptive Cruise Control is on, the car automatically brakes and accelerates to meet upcoming speed changes, helping you conserve fuel in stop-and-go traffic.

Don’t Forget About Regular Maintenance

Another key to achieving your model’s ideal Audi fuel efficiency over the long term is following the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Our factory-trained technicians at Audi Santa Monica focus on tasks such as ensuring that your fuel injectors are clean of any debris and your spark plugs are firing correctly to prevent wasted energy. Of course, keeping up with oil changes is also essential, and we’ll make sure that your car has the specific high-performance motor oil recommended for your engine in order to reduce internal friction.

Finally, tire health is another critical component of fuel efficiency. If you’re driving on underinflated tires, your car will have to work harder to achieve the same performance, which hurts fuel economy.
