Mazda Presents Ways to Minimize Fuel Costs Amidst Rising Gas Prices

As gas prices continue to rise there is a real need to maximize fuel usage while minimizing its wastage. Mazda Philippines offers a few helpful and easy-to-do tips to help you save money.

1. A car properly maintained keeps fuel costs at bay - Check the pressure of your tires regularly because low air pressure leads to higher fuel costs. This is due to under inflated tires requiring more energy to begin moving and to maintain speed. Also, head to the Mazda Service Center nearest you to make sure that your car is in optimum condition. A simple oil change could help your engine perform at peak levels and consume less gas.
2. Adjusting your driving style will be worth your while - Don’t be afraid to make your car go “Zoom-Zoom” because a study conducted by a British automotive consultancy found that controlled acceleration is actually more fuel efficient than conservative driving. According to the study the key to saving fuel, is to accelerate hard until the engine reaches 2000 rpm, move up a gear, then put your foot down until you reach 2000rpm again. It may seem counter-intuitive but at 2000 rpm the engine is at its most efficient. Keep in mind though that above 2000 rpm the benefits diminish and you begin using more fuel.
3. Take advantage of offers that allow you to save - Buy the 2008 Mazda3 for only P88, 888 down, with low monthly payments and even 0% interest! The Mazda3’s MZR engine in either the 2.0L or 1.6L have high compression ratios for powerful, yet fuel efficient performance. Enjoy the exhilaration of driving more knowing that your car gets the most mileage out of every gallon.

You can also minimize your maintenance costs by availing of the 3 to 4 years Scheduled Service Plan (SSP) bundled with a 2 year extended warranty. The SSP is a preventive maintenance service that allows you to save on future parts and services expenses. Imagine with just one payment you are assured of peace of mind for the next four years. This also saves you a lot in the long-run because it protects you from future price increases and inflation.

The Mazda3 is available for test-drive in all of the Mazda dealerships for inquiries or to schedule a test drive, call our Hotline number: 85-MAZDA or visit www.mazda.com.ph.
