High cost of gas got you down?


Rizzoli’s understands that! Here are some ways to conserve fuel and cut your gasoline costs:

  • Under-inflated tires – is like driving with the parking brake on! Have your tires checked often and rotated every 3,000 miles
  • Dirty air filters – wastes gas and causes the engine to lose power. Replace at least once a year. More often if you frequently drive on dirt roads or in stop-and-go traffic.
  • Worn spark plugs – causes inefficient combustion, wasting fuel. Have them checked during regular maintenance visits.
  • Worn O2 sensor – causes inability to detect and adjust air-fuel mixture.
  • Dirty or substandard engine oil – increases internal engine friction.
  • Loose gas cap – allows fuel to evaporate.

    A recent study conducted by the Car Care Council says that when you pay attention to all of the above, you can save as much as 11 mpg! Let your regularly scheduled visits to Rizzoli’s take a bite out of the high cost of gas.
