Maximum efficiency for your Ford Tempo or whichever car or truck you
are drive needs to be performing at its best capacity every time you
are on the road. To protect loved ones, run errands, save money
on gas, assist in air pollution reduction, and get you where you nedd
to be ontime, every time is a duty your vehicle should uphold daily. The
most important thing you can do for auto maintenance regular check-ups,
service all the liquids (checking them all once every two weeks or so),
and maintain proper fuel grade levels for your engiune. Your
enguine will thank you with better automotive performence and quicker
reaction times, which is an essential part of keeping you and your
family and friends safe on the road. Car repair is easy to do if you
are aware of the sounds your vehilce makes. Make yourself very
aware of this information as it may save a life one day. If not a life,
then I know it will save you money on raising fuel costs and expensive
auto repair labor. Choose the right fuel. Your vehicle is
designed to take regular unleaded fuel, which will have this symbol
(87) on the pump at the gas station. The 87 symbol refers to the level
of octane in the fuel. Using lower grade of fuel will jack up your
engine and will cause heavy knocking, which could easily damage your
engine. High grade fuel will protect your fuel system from
rusting and protect against fuel lock in the fuel system (causes engine
to hesitate/stall and hard to restart). In addition, it will minimize
fuel deposits in fuel injection system, and prevent your engine from
knocking/pinging. High grade fuel will also prevent the fuel
system from "gumming up" when not run for long periods of time, not to
mention help your, Ford Tempo perhaps, start more easily in winter
while asststing in help the prevention of freezing fuel lines. Tips
to increase gas mileage include not driving at life-threatening highway
speeds can dramatically lower your fuel economy. I know it is fun (like
driving in the middle lane at 88 mph with your eyes closed and seat all
the way back), but don't. Gradually increasing your speed will save you
precious fuel. Extended idling of your engine will Lower your miles per
gallon. Be aware of extensive use of A/C, defroster, etc. Yes use
them - when you need them. Wasting hey are all charged by the engine,
increasing fuel usage. (If you live in Arizona like me then extensive
A/C use is absolutely necessary!). Lack of regular maintenance will not
only severely increase fuel usage, but kill your car. Always get
regular check-ups to ensure maximum efficiency. No excuses! This
knowledge will save you a lot of money and expensive car maintenance
costs and wear and tear on your Ford Tempo, or the dream car you can't
get out of your head but know you will soon own. Be kind to your
car and it'll be kind to you. Car maintenance does not have to be a
pain. The more you know about car repair, the more you will save on
expensive mehcanic costs. Know the tricks of the trade. It is your best
defense. Use this juicy nugget of knowledge to your benefit. Oh, and email me when you get your dream car. I want a picture. http://www.trustmymechanic.com
