If you drive a pickup truck, you're no stranger to the rising cost of gas, but there are ways to increase power and fuel economy.
- Stay on top of your truck's regularly scheduled maintenance, including checking and changing fluids, rotating the tires, checking the air pressure, and inspecting the battery ensuring it will run smoothly and efficiently.
- Your truck is made to perform heavy tasks but by reducing the weight by removing attachments or accessories, leaving them behind to lighten the truck's weight and your truck will go farther no less fuel.
- Trucks are boxy and bulkier by design, but you can still improve aerodynamics by eliminating any removable parts that can slow the truck down. The more wind resistance you have, the harder the engine has to work.
- When you're on the highway, using cruise control will put less stress on the engine than if it's constantly accelerating or braking.
