While you are at it, make sure you change you oil regularly and keep the proper inflation in your tires. These two things can increase your gas mileage. Also, many auto repair shops and oil change places are now inflating tires with nitrogen. You may ask yourself, why use nitrogen$%: Nitrogen keeps your tires properly inflated for longer periods of time and prolongs the life of your tire. Regular air has more oxygen, which is destructive and does not hold pressure for a long period of time.
