5 Proven Ways to Get Better Gas Mileage in Your Car - YouTube

rev up your engines, duh face says Scotty my car consumes

much more gas than it did in the past though there's nothing

wrong with it, what could possibly be the reasons, okay simple things first, change

your air filter, change your fuel filter, change the spark plugs, have a guy

professionally clean your fuel injectors if that doesn't help, because we have

pressure machines that can clean the fuel injectors, dirty fuel injectors will

do that, now there is stuff you can clean yourself, I have a video called make your

car run better with this little spray cleaner watch that and you can get two cans

of spray cleaner for about fourteen bucks total, you can clean the throttle

you can clean the mass airflow sensor you can do all that stuff, and a lot of

times that'll fix it, cuz things do get dirty over time and with modern cars being

and all computer run, a lot of people just keep driving them cuz they still

run good but they'll get a little bit worse gas mileage because things are

dirty and they need cleaning, joe says Scotty what do you think about running amsoil

signature oil for 20,000 miles or one year, the one year I don't mind but

I wouldn't push it to twenty thousand miles, I got a whole video on that the

myth the twenty thousand mile changing and it talked about that new mobile one one

that they said you could last 20,000 miles, unless you're like a truck driver

and you're driving 65 miles an hour for 12 hours a day, and that twenty thousand

miles is all highway driving in a year or less don't do it, if you drive on a

highway at 65 miles an hour, the wear on your engine oil it's like 10% of what it

is in the City stop and go traffic, 20,000 miles on a highway going 65, it's

equivalent to like 2,000 miles in the city, so it's no big deal, but don't do it

with stop and go city driving it's not worth it, I don't care what the engineers

say here or there, and most cars are gonna burn oil at that kind of mileage,

you don't want to wear an engine out for something dumb like that, but once a year

if you drive less than 10,000 miles go right ahead, Ag says what do you think

about a 2015 Audi a8 with v6 3.0 supercharged engine, I just bought one

and I love it, yeah they're fun to drive that thing is zippy as can be, but get a

hold of me in five or six years if you still have the car cuz you'll probably

hate it then, every customer that I had buy one of those things if they put any

serious amount of mileage on it, 80-90 thousand more miles, they threw so much

money into those vehicles and then when they tried to sell them used, they found

out that seven eight-year-old one went for almost

nothing because of that, but they are fun to drive I'll give them that, the Germans

have interesting technology you know they make top-of-the-line stuff in the short run

I'm 16 and I'm getting my driver's license soon, I want to buy a 1993 toyota celica

GT 5-speed manual so I can learn how to drive, I want to keep it on weekends

what do you think, not a bad idea my son's got one of those things for 500

bucks ages ago, because one of my customers loaned hers to her daughter

who was not exactly someone who took care of vehicles, she drove over a

manhole cover during a flood and the water came shooting out, flooded it out and

sucked water and blew the engine, so I bought it

for 500 and bought a engine for 400 put it in and

he drives it around, they are very good cars but you have to understand it's a

93, a 27 year old car man that's an old car, so don't pay much for it and see how

much work it needs before you buy one, make sure it runs and shifts and

everything, body stuff you can always fix, but if the engine of transmission is going

out you don't want to mess with it, Canadian

Frost says Scotty got a 1973 VW Super Beetle it's stuck in gear any easy fixes, what

you want to do is jack it up in the air, get to the transmission and shifter linkage

and try to manually pull it so you can get at least a neutral, if you

can't even move it then, the transmission is shot and you're gonna have

to take it apart and rebuild it, they do break when their that old, but a lot of

times the linkages stick, if you can manually get it going in neutral, then

check all your shifter linkage something's probably broken, the

bushings or it's rusted up or something like that, they do have a lot of fixable

adjustable stuff on those old ones compared to the new ones that generally

when they get stuck in gear they're shot Assad says Scotty

thanks for all your great content and expertise sharing, what do you think about

Renault cars, well Renault pulled out of the United States

decades ago, I used to work on them when I was a middle age mechanic, I had customers

with them and they were ok cars but you couldn't get parts for them in United

States, and most people didn't know how to work on them, so that's one of the

reasons they pulled out of the United States,

now Renault is one of the largest companies in the world now they keep

buying things, they own Nissan their buying other companies, I got back from

England last year, they drive them and they get

hundreds of thousands of miles from the people that I talked too so, if you live in

Europe might not be a bad idea, but in the United States no, their too hard to

get parts for and mechanics don't know how to work on the things, so if you never
