There are several ways
we at Russell Auto (aka Portland Transmission Exchange)
can help improve the
gas mileage
of your current vehicle. Things like:
- Checking your transmission for excessive slip and proper converter clutch operation.
- Checking tire pressures, checking the battery and electrical systems for excessive
draw and checking for dragging brakes.
- Checking the computer system for diagnostic trouble codes and updated reprogramming.
- Checking the engine oil, servicing the fuel system, checking for induction and exhaust-related
problems.
These items are often overlooked and over time can reduce your
gas mileage.
Here at Russell Auto (aka Portland Transmission Exchange) we do more than repair transmissions, our
goal is to help you with your transportation needs, and help you get the most out
of your car.
