Fuel-Saving Features for Your Next Vehicle

With fuel prices projected to remain high through the summer, everyone has become more conscious of their vehicle’s fuel economy. Even in times when gas prices are more reasonable, it’s important to choose a vehicle with greater efficiency to reduce your environmental impact and keep your cost of transportation down. Many automakers have engineered vehicles to offer outstanding fuel-saving features. From hybrid powertrains to aerodynamic designs, we're here to keep the environment—and your wallet—in mind. 

Variable Valve Timing

Variable valve timing technology is used in many engine options to increase performance as well as fuel economy and efficiency. It works by altering the timing of the valves by shifting the phase angle of the camshaft. If that sounds like a bunch of jargon you don’t really care about, just know that VVT equals better efficiency. This technology is used throughout the automotive industry.

Turbo Powertrains

Much like variable valve timing can improve efficiency, so can turbochargers. The application of turbochargers may have started with the desire for faster vehicles, but it has an extra benefit. By using a turbocharger, carmakers can use a smaller engine with less horsepower without creating a vehicle that feels sluggish. Small turbos provide the power you need to merge onto highways or pass another car but don’t drink fuel when you’re just driving normally. 

Hybrid & Electric Performance

Hybrid models are an outstanding way to employ the technology of electric models with more ease of use and flexibility. From hybrids that recharge without any extra input to plug-in hybrid models to fully electric cars, there's a different level of electrified performance for every driver who wants to keep their fuel consumption low.
