Gas Mileage Tips from Hare Auto

Mar 2, 2010

Once you start the search for a new or used Chevy, one area to give special attention to is the gas mileage of your existing vehicle compared to the Indianapolis Chevy you’re considering. Whether your travels frequently take you out of the Indianapolis area or you’re strictly a city driver, that gas mileage issue becomes a big part of preserving your bottom line. How much can you save over a year? Do some quick math to find out—how many miles do you drive per month? Multiply that number by the average gas price. Divide that number by the number of miles per gallon your current car gets and that’s how much you spend each month on gas.

Do the same math for your favorite Indianapolis Chevy car and compare the amounts. Will you save money with the new model? If not, keep looking at the dealership until you can find one that at least matches the MPG you currently get. Don’t forget that if you’re financing your new car, you’ll be required to carry full insurance on the vehicle—any savings you can get from better gas mileage, bigger down payments, and good trade-in value will help you in the long run. Your Chevy dealer in Indianapolis can show you a selection of models that get that mileage or better.
