How to Get the Best Fuel Efficiency? 

  • Don’t be a speed demon: We get it—those open stretches on PR-3 are tempting. But flying down the road eats up fuel fast. Keep a steady pace and cruise when you can. 
  • Keep your tires happy: Underinflated tires point to more resistance, which leads to burning more gas. Check your tire pressure at least once a month, especially in this tropical heat. 
  • Stop idling: Waiting for someone with the engine running? You’re not just wasting time—you’re wasting gas. If you’re sitting for more than a minute, just turn the car off. 
  • Lighten the load: Got beach chairs, a cooler, and your cousin’s gym gear still in the trunk? That weight adds up. A lighter car uses less fuel—simple as that. 
  • Regular maintenance matters: A dirty air filter or old spark plugs can quietly steal your mileage. Swing by Flagship Mazda for a quick checkup—we’ll help keep your ride in top shape.
