Fuel Saving Tip: Gas Caps from Here to There

Last Updated: May 05, 2021

This fuel saving tip is so simple, no one will believe it. It has to do with your gas cap.

The first thing is to make sure it's screwed on tight. If it's loose, gas vapor will be constantly leaking out; wasted gas.

This could cause the Check Engine light to come on as well.

A worn gas cap can have the same effect. If you constantly smell gas when you walk by your tank, you might need a new gas cap.

So, twist your cap until it clicks three times – that means it's on tight. Have your washington court house area service advisor at Jim Van Dyke's Automotive & Tire Center inspect the cap to see if it needs to be replaced.

See, I told you it was simple.
