<p><strong>Chances are that if your truck oxygen sensor is kaput your <a title="why is my check engine light on York" href="http://jimsautorepair.mynapatools.com/contact-us" target="_blank">check engine light</a> will come on.</strong> Now, there&rsquo;s any number of things that could cause your check engine light to come on besides oxygen sensor problems. But if it&rsquo;s on, get it checked out as soon as you can at Jim&rsquo;s Auto Repair at 108 E 11th Avenue in York.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s an easy one for busy PA drivers: <strong>Inflate your tires to the recommended pressure</strong>. That could save you three percent or eleven cents a gallon. Even a little drop in pressure will cost you at the York pump so check your truck tires every week.</p>
<p>Your vehicle manufacturer has recommended <strong>a specific weight of motor oil</strong>. The recommendation is based on your truck engine design and will give you the best protection. Using a heavier weight could cost one to two percent in reduced fuel economy, or up to seven cents a gallon.</p>
<p>Here are some free gas saving tips: <strong>Don&rsquo;t drive aggressively, drive within the York speed limit and remove excess weight (junk in the trunk) from your vehicle. </strong>These can add up to a dollar or more per gallon.</p>
