Fuel Saving Tip from John's Automotive Repair: Gas Cap

Last Updated: Apr 30, 2019

This fuel saving tip for Corvallis residents is so simple you won't 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 – reduced fuel economy. 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 friendly and knowledgeable John's Automotive Repair inspect the cap to see if it needs to be replaced. See, I told you it was simple.
