With gas prices hitting record highs, drivers are doing everything they can to save at the pump. If you drive a Honda car, you have already made a good decision, as Honda vehicles tend to be among the most fuel-efficient cars on the road. Another tip for improving fuel efficiency is paying a visit to our auto body shop at Hall Honda Virginia Beach, which doubles as a Honda service center.
Here’s how our mechanics can help you improve your gas mileage.
Spark Plug Repairs
Your car’s spark plugs are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture in the engine’s combustion chamber. As they get older, their performance dips, which hurts your Honda engine efficiency.
Our mechanics recommend getting your spark plugs replaced every 60,000 miles, or as outlined in your car’s owner’s manual.
Tires
When a car is involved in an accident and needs to visit our auto body shop for repairs, the tires often experience damage. As one of the most basic Honda parts, the tires are responsible for providing traction and handling.
If your tires are damaged, worn, or underinflated, your fuel efficiency suffers. We’ll make sure that your tires are in good condition.
Engine
Another part that often suffers damage during a crash is the engine. An engine is a complex piece of machinery that includes many components that are responsible for fuel efficiency.
For instance, the mass air flow sensor measures air flow entering the engine, which affects the efficiency of the fuel injector, ignition system, and transmission. When the mass air flow sensor becomes dirty or damaged, it sends inaccurate information, which makes fuel economy suffer.
