Fuel Economy Tip #3

Make sure you service the Fuel Injection system at least every 30,000 miles.
I know that most of the manufacturers are now claiming that their vehicle can go 100,000 miles before its first tune-up. In my opinion and from past experience, I feel that this is way too long to extend service. In military terms where the equipment has to be "mission ready", the vehicle must be regularly serviced and inspected consistently. This allows them to spot potentially disastrous breakdowns from occurring. With a fuel injection system, when a component, such as an oxygen sensor, is starting to fail or deteriorate, the fuel economy can be drastically decreased. It is much cheaper to maintain a clean fuel injection system, than it is to replace expensive fuel injection parts.
