How Can Properly Inflating Your Tires Improve Your Gas Mileage? Ken’s Auto Service Can Help You Save on Gas and More!

Money is tight nowadays. As you ponder over your check book, try considering how much of your paycheck is spent on just getting you from your Akron, Ohio home to your job in Stow, Ohio? The answer might surprise you. Fortunately, for those who reside in the greater Summit County, Ohio area, the folks at Ken’s Auto Service are available to help you improve your gas mileage, save money and drive safer with some quality tire and brake service and scheduled car maintenance.

How can they achieve this?

The answer is simple. If you are hoping to keep the costs of maintaining your car low, then you have to maintain it! Taking a few moments to check the pressure in your tires at a gas station in Stow, can not only improve your gas mileage and save some money, but also increase the safety of your vehicle. Under-inflated tires have more contact with the road beneath them and as they rotate more rolling resistance than a properly inflated tire would. This creates a situation where you engine has to work harder to overcome this resistance and then it has to use more fuel. In some vehicles you can improve your gas mileage by as much as 12%! Considering the cost of gas, those savings can rack up quickly!

You’d be surprised how easy it is to save money by taking your vehicle into one of the several Ken’s Auto Service locations in Akron and having them perform your car’s scheduled maintenance. Having your oil changed every 3,000 miles, changing the fuel and air filters, rotating and balancing your tires every 6,000 miles and having a yearly tune-up may all sound like you are spending a lot of money. But in reality, you are actually saving. Maintaining your vehicle is the best way to ensure you vehicle runs properly and helps to extend the life of not only the parts and systems within the vehicle, but the vehicle itself. Something as simple as forgetting to have your tires and brakes serviced could leave you stranded on the side of a Summit County road with a blowout or even worse, in a wreck because you brakes fail.
