{"text":"Tips for Improving Fuel Economy\r\n\r\nWe have all probably heard the old saying that a little bit goes a long way. It couldn’t be more accurate when it comes to fuel economy. By making some simple changes and slight adjustments to how you run your truck, you can save thousands of dollars every year. Here are some ways to do so:\r\n\r\nUse cruise control. It saves valuable fuel when you’re not accelerating and decelerating frequently.\r\n\r\nWatch your speed. You may think that faster equals better, but that’s not the case when it comes off your fuel. Driving faster not only causes you to burn through your fuel more quickly but at a rate that costs your more in the long run.\r\n\r\nCompare pricing before filling up. You can easily compare fuel prices right within your Trucker Path app.\r\n\r\nMinimize your idling time. Leaving your truck running for extended periods of time when it’s not necessary wastes fuel.\r\n\r\nMake sure your tires are properly inflated. Every 1 psi drop in air pressure will reduce your gas mileage by 0.2-0.4 percent. This adds up quickly.\r\n\r\nInspect your truck regularly. Conducting thorough pre-trip inspections will help you catch fuel leaks, issues with your engine fan, tire misalignment, and other problems – all of which can reduce your fuel efficiency.\r\n\r\nHave you made any of these changes recently and seen a difference in your fuel efficiency? We’d love to hear what you’ve done and how it has helped!\r\n","pics":"[{\"description\":\"\",\"height\":628.0,\"name\":\"980/android_1550168727581.png\",\"url\":\"\",\"width\":1200.0}]","canComment":true}
