Affects Miles Per Gallon Fuel Wasted
DIRTY AIR FILTER
MPG Penalty: up to 2 mpg
The engine can use more than 10000 gallons of air for every gallon of fuel burned, so its easy to see how important the air filter is. The air filter should be checked every oil change.
TIRE INFLATION
MPG Penalty: 1-2 mpg
Under inflated tires increase rolling resistance and cause a decrease in fuel economy
DIRTY ENGINE OIL
MPG Penalty: up to 1 mpg wasted

FUEL CAP
MPG Penalty: up to 2 mpg wasted
Damaged, missing or loose caps cause over 147 million gallons of fuel to evaporate each year.
WORN SPARK PLUGS
MPG Penalty: up to 2 mpg wasted
When a spark plug wears out it can cause insufficient combustion, resulting in wasted fuel.
WORN O2 SENSORS
MPG Penalty: up to 3 mpg wasted
A worn oxygen sensor is unable to detect and adjust the air fuel mixture correctly and can cause your vehicle to use more fuel than it needs to.

MPG Penalty: up to 1.5 mpg wasted
