I've been driving my 2018 Altima for a few months now and I was surprised at how much of a difference making a few simple tweaks made to my fuel efficiency. First off, I started checking my tire pressure every week, as underinflated tires can lower your gas mileage by about 0.3% for every pound per square inch (PSI) that's below the recommended level.
Next, I began using the "Eco" mode on my car's infotainment system whenever I'm cruising at a steady speed, such as during highway driving. This setting adjusts the engine and transmission to optimize fuel efficiency, and it's made a noticeable difference in my mileage.
I also started taking advantage of gas-saving features like coasting to a stop before idling for extended periods, which can save up to 1-2 gallons per tank depending on how often you do it.
