Fuel Efficiency Myths BUSTED!
By Renee Leon
Fuel efficiency is a hot topic, especially with rising gas prices and environmental concerns. But with so much advice out there, how do you know what’s really helpful? At Aurora AutoPros, we’re here to set the record straight and debunk some common myths surrounding fuel efficiency. In this post, we’ll dive into which habits can actually help you save gas – and which ones might do more harm than good.
- Fuel Efficiency Myth #1: Premium Gas = Better Mileage
The Truth: Most vehicles don’t benefit from premium fuel unless specifically required by the manufacturer. Using a higher-octane fuel won’t increase mileage and may waste money. Modern engines are designed to run efficiently on the recommended grade. So, unless your car manual advises premium fuel, opt for regular gasoline instead. - Fuel Efficiency Myth #2: Idling Saves More Fuel Than Restarting
The Truth: Restarting your engine actually uses less fuel than idling for extended periods. If you’re stopping for more than a minute or two, it’s best to turn off the engine. Idling wastes fuel and contributes to emissions – both of which cost you in the long run. Our team at Aurora AutoPros recommends cutting idle time whenever possible. - Fuel Efficiency Myth #3: Tire Pressure Isn’t That Important
The Truth: Tire pressure plays a crucial role in fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tires create more friction, making your engine work harder and use more fuel. Keeping your tires inflated to the recommended level is one of the easiest ways to improve your gas mileage. At Aurora AutoPros, we offer tire checks and maintenance as part of our comprehensive services.

“I had a great experience for my first time in your business.Thanks!!” Anthony McClain
“This is the best shop to get your car taken car of. Everyone is transparent and communicates every step of the way. My issue with my vehicle ended up being under an extended warranty with Ford. Jose had printed off the warranty details and I was provided extra copies of what they found so that when I took my vehicle to the dealership, I was already armed and ready to go. Thank you so much for taking care of my escape.” Elizabeth Shonebaum
