The 3 easy ways to increase gas mileage will really help your vehicles fuel mileage. If you use these tips regularly, you will see a substantial difference with your car. If you are already using these tips, you won't see the difference unless you put many miles on your vehicle.

Whether you drive a gas hogging truck, or a little high mpg compact, you're going to need to take care of it in order to keep the miles per gallon as high as possible. This doesn't mean a regular wash and wax either. Fuel filters, oil filters and air filters all make a big difference in your car's ability to use fuel efficiently.

Take the time to get regular maintenance work done by a qualified mechanic or learn to do it yourself. It's not difficult to do, and you can find all kinds of DIY articles online. The first time you do it, it may take a while but as you do it on a regular basis, you'll get quicker.

Along with regular maintenance comes the drive line. This means not just good tires at the proper inflation level although that can make a big difference. It also means making sure your bearings and brakes are in good shape. Brakes that are dragging or worn bearings make your car work harder, decreasing your gas mileage. These jobs can be done easily and quickly yourself as well, just look online.

You may think that money can be a problem when fixing your car, but online research will help this situation as well. In today's economy, saving every penny can help, and a gas guzzling car will not help this situation.

Last but not least, try not to penny pinch when it comes to the fuel you do purchase. Many of the fuels today at the cheaper stations are just not the quality of fuel your vehicle was meant to run on. If you notice hard starting, rough idling, or even no punch when you punch the gas pedal and you're doing all of the above, switch fuel stations or buy a higher grade fuel for a while.
