As the weather warms up and spring arrives in Cherry Hill, it’s the perfect time to give your Audi a little extra attention. Whether you’re commuting to Philadelphia, taking scenic drives through Marlton, or running errands in Medford, maximizing your Audi’s fuel efficiency is a win-win. Not only does it save money, but it also reduces your environmental impact. Here are some practical tips to help you get the most out of every gallon this spring.
1. Keep Up with Routine Maintenance
Your Audi is engineered for exceptional performance, but regular maintenance is key to keeping it running efficiently.
Oil Changes: Fresh oil reduces engine friction, improving fuel efficiency. Audi Cherry Hill’s certified technicians use genuine Audi oil to ensure optimal performance.
Air Filters: A clean air filter allows your engine to “breathe” better, boosting both efficiency and power. If your filter is dirty, it’s time for a replacement.
Tire Maintenance: Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy and ensure a smooth ride. Check your tire pressure regularly, as underinflated tires can increase fuel consumption.
2. Lighten the Load
Extra weight in your car means your engine has to work harder, which decreases fuel efficiency. Take a few minutes to clean out your trunk and back seat, removing any unnecessary items.
Tip: If you’ve been carrying winter gear like snow brushes or emergency supplies, it’s time to store them away for the season.
3. Drive Smarter, Not Harder
Your driving habits play a big role in fuel efficiency. Small changes can make a significant difference:
Avoid Aggressive Driving: Rapid acceleration and hard braking burn more fuel. Smooth, steady driving is more efficient and better for your car.
Use Cruise Control: On highways, cruise control helps maintain a consistent speed, reducing fuel use on long drives from Cherry Hill to Philadelphia.
Reduce Idling: Idling wastes fuel, so turn off your engine if you’re stopped for more than a minute.
4. Make the Most of Audi Technology
Audi’s advanced features can help you save fuel without even thinking about it.
Start/Stop System: Many newer Audi models feature start/stop technology, which automatically shuts off the engine when you’re idling at a stoplight and restarts it when you press the accelerator.
Drive Select Modes: Use the “Efficiency” mode on your Audi Drive Select system to optimize settings for better fuel economy.
Navigation and Traffic Updates: Audi Connect® services can help you avoid traffic, reducing the time you spend idling or taking longer routes.
5. Stay Aerodynamic
Roof racks and cargo carriers can add wind resistance, which decreases fuel efficiency. If you’re not using them, consider removing them to improve your car’s aerodynamics.
