TROUBLESHOOT POOR AUTOMOBILE GAS MILEAGE
Poor automobile gas mileage may mean it’s time to troubleshoot automobile ignition system components. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence states that misfiring spark plugs can reduce fuel efficiency by as much as 30% (or $.75/gallon). But not all spark plug misfires are caused by bad spark plugs. When a spark plug wire malfunctions, the end result is a misfiring spark plug. _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Replacing spark plug wires is almost a thing of the past since modern plug wires can last well in excess of 50,000 miles and many are designed to last over 100,000 miles. But even with long lasting designs, spark plug wires should be checked by a competent mechanic at the tune-up intervals recommended by the manufacturer. Even the best spark plug wires can be damaged by excessive heat or carelessness. If spark plug wires are damaged or start breaking down, less electrical current travels to the spark plug. That can cause weak spark, poor combustion, and poor fuel economy. _________________________________________________________________ Spark plug wire sets are available online at Amazon Spark Plug Wires You can also do an online search to check price and availability of spark plug wires at your local auto parts stores.
