How to Optimize Gas Mileage

Driving with fuel economy in mind is always a good decision. This rings especially true in today’s fuel market. When you drive this way, not only does it just feel good, your wallet feels good too. Saving at the pump may seem daunting, but here are a few tips to make sure you can drive easily with fuel economy in mind.

The first, and easiest of the fuel saving decisions you can make is making sure your car is in the right mode. Drive modes are a feature of luxury BMW cars that allows you to fine tune the performance of your car to your specific needs on any specific occasion.

Standard offers a balance between performance and fuel economy. This may be the perfect choice for drivers who still value the high performance of their luxury BMW, but still want to save some gas. 

For everyone else, in these trying times, the ECO mode is the best way to optimize your car or SUV for fuel economy. While there may be a loss in performance, you likely will find it barely noticeable, and any difference will quickly be outweighed by a better feeling at the pump!

Another amazing fuel saving decision is choosing a car that’s either hybrid or all electric. Hybrid BMW cars have significantly more gas mileage than their solely gas powered counterparts. This means less trips to the pump, and optimized performance ensuring the hybrid motor works in tandem with the gas motor to make the car take off fast. BMW also offers all electric models, which in today’s fuel market could be an incredibly prudent decision. 

BMWs To Save You Cash At The Pump
