Factors That Affect Fuel Efficiency
Weight
Keeping heavy items in your car makes it harder to move. The engine needs more power to go the same distance, steadily reducing your mpg rating. Only keep essentials in the vehicle to help reduce the weight. Clean out the interior and trunk regularly to get rid of items that could be slowing you down.
Tire Pressure
Driving with overinflated or underinflated tires will affect your speed and fuel economy. Gas mileage decreases roughly 0.2% for every one psi drop in the average pressure of all four tires. Check the owner’s manual for the recommended psi and check your tires before every trip to stay within the ideal range. Temperature changes will also affect air pressure. Higher temperatures tend to increase psi, and low temperatures tend to reduce it.
Driving Style
Going over the speed limit and braking suddenly wastes precious fuel. The engine will go into overdrive, and hitting the brakes cuts power to the wheels. Gradually decrease your speed by letting off the gas and avoid going faster than necessary. The seven-speed automatic transmission shifts gears at the right time to help improve efficiency.
Maintenance
Skipping regular service appointments will gradually make the engine less efficient. The vehicle needs a steady supply of high-quality oil to pressurize the fuel so it burns at maximum efficiency. The oil also lubricates parts so they can operate under extreme pressure. Without proper oil, the turbocharger can draw more fuel into the combustion chamber, forcing it to burn more fuel than necessary.
Bring your Q50 to our service center to help optimize your fuel efficiency. Monitor how much fuel you consume and come to us as soon as your mpg rating drops. Poor fuel economy can mean your vehicle needs repairs. We will check your oil levels, service the transmission, and repair the turbo.
