Fuel Saving Tips

Everyone wants to save money where they can — paying less at the pump is a great start. Fortunately, there are ways that you can save on fuel costs, including practicing good driving habits and keeping up with routine BMW service.

How can I save on fuel costs for my BMW?

Whether you drive a new or pre-owned BMW, driving responsibly can help you save on fuel costs. Here are a few good driving habits that can increase your mileage and reduce your monthly gas expense: 

  • Accelerate and decelerate gently 
  • Drive at a consistent speed
  • Avoid idling whenever possible
  • Empty unnecessary weight from your trunk
  • Only use air conditioning when necessary

Although these good habits will help you save on fuel costs, there’s another crucial consideration: keeping up with routine maintenance.

How does routine BMW service help me save on fuel costs?

If you take good care of your BMW, it will reward you with top-notch performance. You may already know that bringing your vehicle to your local BMW dealership for routine maintenance will help extend the life of your BMW. But did you also know that it can help you save on fuel costs?

Routine maintenance such as an oil change or air filter check will keep your BMW performing at its best — including its top fuel efficiency. In addition, old or worn tires can actually increase the amount of fuel you need to get from Point A to Point B. So, keep track of when you’re due for scheduled maintenance.
