Chevrolet Service Tips for Better Fuel Efficiency

No one loves watching their price at the gas pump climb and climb. Our team at Moran Chevrolet knows that when you have a fuel-efficient vehicle, it can make all the difference in the world. That’s why we’re sharing our Chevrolet service tips for better fuel efficiency.

Inspect Your Tires

If your tires are under inflated, you’ll have increased rolling resistance, which leads to excess fuel consumption. That’s why it’s important to inspect your tires regularly. Check your owner’s manual to see the ideal PSI (pounds per square inch) for your vehicle’s tires. You should also have your tires rotated routinely, which limits uneven wear and reduces drag.

Schedule an Oil Change

Any time your engine is forced to work harder than necessary, your fuel efficiency takes a hit. Old engine oil can certainly strain your engine. It gets dirty and degraded, so it can’t flow properly. As your engine works through the sludge, your vehicle consumes more fuel. During an oil change, utilizing the appropriate oil type and replacing your oil filter can also improve your efficiency.

Watch How You Drive

Your driving habits have a huge impact on your fuel efficiency. For starters, harshly accelerating or slamming on the brakes can lower your fuel economy. Excessive idling or consistently towing or hauling heavy loads also decreases your fuel efficiency. You can quickly improve your fuel efficiency by driving with caution, staying a safe distance from others, planning your routes, and limiting heavy loads.

What Is Chevrolet Super Cruise® and How Does It Work

What is Super Cruise ®, and does it actually work the way the commercials make it look? Moran Chevrolet in Clinton Township, MI, gets asked about it frequently. Here is a breakdown of how it works and where its limits are. The Map Behind the Magic More than 600,000 miles of compatible roads across the United States and Canada is what Super Cruise® relies on to hand you hands-free control, using GPS positioning and high-precision map data layered with camera input. Adaptive Cruise Control handles the spacing to the vehicle ahead while the system manages steering. You Are Still Fully in Control A camera on the steering wheel tracks your head and eye position the entire time Super Cruise® is active, and a green light bar confirms it is watching along with you. The system is not self-driving; grabbing the wheel, tapping the brake, or pressing the Super Cruise button all end hands-free mode instantly. Where the Technology Draws a Line Select Chevrolet model lines currently offer Super Cruise®, and every new vehicle includes three years of the connectivity needed to run it before monthly plan takes over. The system will not stop for traffic lights, detect cross traffic, or dodge obstacles, so it still depends on you for anything outside its mapped lane. Ask Moran Chevrolet About Super Cruise® Knowing what Super Cruise® is ahead of time means fewer surprises once you are behind the wheel. Our Chevrolet dealership in Clinton Township, MI, can show you exactly which models include it and answer questions specific to your commute. Moran Chevrolet also offers Chevrolet financing, so reach out to our team to learn more before you decide.

Where to Find the Best Fall Color Drives Worth the Trip This Season

A Clinton Township, MI Chevy dealer hears the same question every October: where is the best nearby spot to catch peak color without a long drive? Moran Chevrolet has been collecting answers from customers and staff for years. Here are three scenic trips to take in your Chevrolet SUV. Stony Creek Metropark's 500-Acre Lake Spanning 4,461 acres around a 500-acre man-made lake, Stony Creek Metropark delivers some of the most reliable color in the area. A paved path circles the lake itself, so you can take in the color from behind the wheel before parking to walk any of the park's 14 miles of hiking trails. A Quicker Option at Lake St. Clair Metropark Covering 770 acres in Harrison Township, Lake St. Clair Metropark, often called Metro Beach, pairs fall color with open water views along a 1-mile paved shoreline path. Established in 1950, its nature center has recorded 275 species of birds over the years, and it is the shortest drive on this list when you only have an hour to spare. A Slower Pace at Wolcott Mill Metropark Ray Township's Wolcott Mill Metropark covers 2,625 acres of farmland and woods along the Clinton River, including a 250-acre working farm and 10 miles of equestrian trails. Fewer visitors make for a quieter drive than the busier parks closer to the city. Visit Moran Chevrolet Before Your Next Drive None of these drives strays far from Clinton Township, MI, which makes any of them an easy afternoon plan. Moran Chevrolet can get your vehicle road-ready before you go, from tire checks to a full inspection. Ask about our new 2027 Chevrolet models while you’re here if you’re looking to upgrade!
