Three Tips to Improve Your Lexus Hybrid Vehicle's Fuel Economy This Winter

Winter weather can have a significant effect on your car’s fuel economy and performance. If you drive a hybrid vehicle, like a Lexus, then you know that improving your fuel economy is more important than ever. Here are three tips to help you get the most out of your Lexus hybrid vehicle this winter.


Tire Pressure

One of the simplest and most effective ways to improve your car’s fuel economy is by making sure that your tires are always properly inflated. During the winter months, air pressure in your tires tends to drop due to colder temperatures. As such, it is essential that you check and adjust your tire pressure on a regular basis during the winter months. You can find out what tire pressure your car should have by referring to the owner’s manual or checking with our dealership.


Engine Maintenance

It is also important that you make sure that all of the components of your engine are properly maintained throughout the year, but especially during the winter months when cars typically experience greater wear and tear due to cold weather conditions. Make sure that you keep up with oil changes and other routine maintenance tasks so that your engine remains in top condition throughout the season.


Drive Smart

One of the best ways to improve fuel economy is to simply drive smarter. You can do this by avoiding sudden accelerations and decelerations, using cruise control when appropriate, avoiding idling for long periods of time, and avoiding excessive speeds since driving at higher speeds reduces fuel efficiency significantly. The overall goal is to drive as smoothly as possible in order to reduce drag on the car and increase its efficiency.


Improving fuel economy in a Lexus hybrid vehicle during the winter months doesn't have to be complicated or expensive; it just takes some simple steps such as keeping up with engine maintenance, checking tire pressure regularly, and driving smartly whenever possible. Following these basic tips will help ensure that you maximize your car's performance while minimizing its environmental impact this winter season!
