WINTER 2008
 VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1

As fuel prices fluctuate up and down we are always thinking of ways to save money and get the best fuel mileage out of our vehicles...

At Best Volvo we realize the high cost of fuel is thinning out our wallets, so we are doing our part to help! Not only have we lowered the cost on all our Volvo Scheduled Maintenance Packages, we have also lowered the cost on many of our other services. We want to stay competitive and provide you with the lowest costs and the best service that we can provide, so you can keep your car running at its peak performance! Volvo recommends that your car be serviced every 7,500 miles by an authorized Volvo dealer. Some of our customers even take it one step further and change their oil between services, just so they can get that extra mile. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with being extra cautious if you want to keep that Volvo going strong!"

MONEY

Here are some tips to get the best fuel mileage from your Volvo.

Gas Pump

Drive more efficiently

  • Avoid rapid acceleration and braking
  • Stick with the speed limit, (fuel mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph)
  • Avoid excessive idling
  • Use cruise control on the highway in order to maintain steady speed
  • Use overdrive

Some critical items that dramatically decrease fuel mileage:

  • Lack of vehicle maintenance
  • Improper tire pressures and wear
  • Wheel alignment out of specification
  • Emission / Engine warning lights are on
  • Incorrect fuel grade, the higher the quantity of ethanol the worse the fuel mileage will be. Use the manufacturer recommended grade. Note: higher octane fuels do not improve fuel mileage.
