I've noticed over the past few months that I'm filling up my tank way more often than I used to. Same driving habits, same routes to work, but my wallet is hurting at the pump. I'm not a car expert so I have no idea if this is normal wear and tear or something actually wrong. My neighbor suggested I look into maintaining your car for better performance because apparently small issues like dirty air filters or low tire pressure can wreck your fuel economy. He mentioned an article that breaks down all the simple maintenance tasks that actually save money on gas. I'm going to check those things this weekend before I spend money on a mechanic for something I might fix myself. Has anyone else dealt with sudden drop in fuel efficiency and found an easy fix?
