How can I make my Honda CR-V fuel efficient?

How can I improve the gas mileage of my Honda CR-V? My wife has the same car as me but in a different color. Sometimes I'll drive her car to pick up the kids. I’ve noticed her vehicle has better gas mileage than mine.

Getting better gas mileage is so important nowadays with gas prices sky high! Luckily, there are several ways to make your Honda CR-V more fuel efficient.
Try out these tips:
  • Drive at a constant pace. If you are consistently slowing down or speeding up, you’re using more gas. Maintain a moderate speed whenever possible.
  • Make sure all your windows are rolled up. If your
    windows
    are down, this can drag your car and cause your engine to work harder, which will reduce your gas mileage.
  • Limit the use of your air conditioner. Constantly running your air conditioner can also force your engine to work harder.
  • Make sure your
    tires
    are correctly inflated. If your tires are
    under-inflated
    , it can cause your vehicle to drag, as well. Refer to your owner’s manual to find the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle.
Hopefully, after applying these tips, you will notice an improvement in your gas mileage!
While you’re improving the performance of your vehicle, consider taking some time to update your auto policy and add or remove coverage you no longer need.
