Hey scotty. Will you grt better gas mileage is your a/c is on Low vs on High? I always wondered this...
Just like a big phone
Will a 2022 Toyota Tacoma 4-runner run on 85 ethanol?
In all honesty doesn't matter what kind of car whether it's internal combustion or electric there's so much plastic in there that's known to contain carcinogens, then you jump into a car after it's been sitting in the sun all day it releases more of that.
That's why the cancer is such a epidemic in this country we're surrounded by plastic
Doing This Will Make Your Car Get Better Gas Mileage.... Answer: Keeping it parked in the garage.
Equally correct answer:
Borrow someone else's car 💁♂️🚗🙍♀️
Become a police officer. You can drive company car
Corolla with the bag that say 'profit' so true they got it made. Even seen a state trooper go to books a million in his uniform lol
Tie a rope to it, then pull it...
Infinite gas mileage
😂😂
When I bought my new Toyota and filled out the survey about what inspired me to buy one, I checked other and wrote in Scotty Kilmer.
Thank you! As an I.T. guy who drives all around the country, I really appreciate this.
I found that to improve the gas mileage on my 20 Tundra is drive my wife's RAV 4 to work. The Tundra uses ZERO fuel when parked.
This guy is like a car guru. He knowledge about vehicles is beyond amazing.
And he’ll tell you that much of it is common sense and that $5000. Scan tool!
@@jerrymorris4431 Scotty must be from Maine he is a maniac.
I just poured a 2 liter of Coke in my gas tank, thank you Scotty!
Your mechanic is going to love you hahaha
Next time you watch first before applying 😂
Did it work? I just did it too, the thumbnail saved me 12.5 minutes of time!
Coke has phosphoric acid (in addition to carbonic acid). It's better if you use straight sugar.
Did your engine burp??
Also pour a Coke in a metal container-let it sit for a week and notice the rust and pitting!!
Excess weight.😂😂 Savage Scotty with the graphics. 😩😭😭
Another great video! I just put new tires in March and increased my wheel size by 2" diameter. My previous tires still had the minimal requirement of 4/32", the threshold for replacing them. But these old tires had hardened way before that and started slipping a lot on the road, and it was terrible on wet days. The difference: the new wheels each weigh 6lbs more even though they are alloys that replaced the steel wheels, not to mention the new tires that were surely heavier.
The result: I got better mileage on the highway - about 2-3 mpg more, but about the same or maybe
I agree with your oil choice, Scotty. I've been using Castrol Oil for over 50 years in all my vehicles with no issues. Also, using your tips extends the life of my 13 and 7 year old cars with less major repairs.
Try liqui moly
@@Superlightweight0 Why? What does it do that is so great but the factories wouldn't use it to begin with?
@@vincedibona4687 try from a castrol guy
I’ve used Quaker State since the 1970s - no issues .
Thank you for your infinite wisdom Scotty! Sending love from Sacramento, CA
Scoty just said repairing the automatic will cost about 5K. So just go with manual transmission. It never breaks down, if you use it properly.
That coke in the tank really works they towed my neighbors car 🚘
It sounds like it really did! After all they got your neighbors car from their house to the repair shop without burning a drop of their gas.
I wish you were in my life 30 years ago when I started caring about my cars!!! You could have saved me SOOOO much time and headache!! Thanks for all the great information, and your unique style!! Love it!
Thank you for educating us, Scotty!
My dad told me once (once is all he ever said something) oil is the cheapest thing that you can put in a motor. It won't run long without it.
I recently had to take a long road trip for work (about 500 miles each way). I took one of the company Ford Transit cargo vans because I had about 350 pounds of equipment in the back. On the drive home, minus the 350 pounds of equipment, I actually got 5 mpg better. I was shocked that extra 350 pounds made that big of a difference in mpg.
You could have been going down hill
"Keep it clean." Good advice for all occasions!! 😄
Scotty, I remember when cars had "wind wings" , little windows in the front triangular area of the side window, they were great. And with my 95 Dakota 3.9 Magnum V6 turning on the AC drops the mileage 3-4 mpg, down to 18 mpg. I think for a more powerful V8 it might not matter that much not to use AC but on less powerful 4- & 6-cylinder cars i think not using the AC makes a big difference. I can feel like a big boat anchor being thrown out onto the road when I turn on the AC.
Especially today you can double and in some cases triple the value of your car by filling the tank with gasoline.
if you drive a Lexus or BMW spend the. extra $4/fillup, otherwise buy an economy car
Putting diet coke in your car will make your car run leaner
Pop company: i see you have chosen death
Great tips. Also driving style plays a huge part.
Absolutely superb video, long live Scotty.
Nice job Scotty you are working with your hands in this video this is what I like see👍
The thumbnail of Scotty adding coca-cola to the fuel tank was a joke. I hope nobody actually did that.
Nope, I used Pepsi.
Great video and again Scotty conducted a whole orchestra with his swinging arms!
if you really want to save gas don't use the car unless you really need to and accelarting and braking gradually are the things that make a big difference
Really well thought through, much appreciated 🚘
Good advice & info as usual. Thx Scotty
Your the best Scotty. A good man for sharing your vehicle knowledge, may you keep in good health.
Hey Scotty, great video, even when I ride my bicycle with some aggressive tires I feel the difference
try treadless tires in the rain🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I will sacrifice the gas mileage for a set of new tires any day. I commute to work and don't need to be worried about the reliability of my tires. 😉
I will run tires to their bitter ends every time. I get better mpg plus it's much less money spent on tires. Flat? Putting the spare on is easy.
I always love your video's, thank you so much..
In my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 the mechanic at the dealer said he checked my engine for hidden codes and the thing he shared with me was that the scan tool said that my truck which was using 10% ethanol actually showed 18% ethanol level. He said that I need to put a tank full of mid grade or higher fuel every once in a while. Since I started doing that I noticed that those tanks showed a slight MPG improvement over regular tanks.
You're getting screwed by whoever you buy gas from. Report the problem to whoever monitors weights measures in your state.
Hi Scotty, a personal observation of mine and it really help with gas mileage. 1) Try not to sit really close to steering, if you sit little away you are not so quick to press gas and brake paddle, not drive like a Jack rabbit. 2) Avoid music that makes you excited and drive with the beats.
And don't be envious of people passing you.😂 I do 30 mph most of city driving, even when the limit is 45. I save a ton doing that. It's a notable difference.
I love cruise control on good roads.
Worn out CV joints also give worse gas mileage due to excess rolling friction. Same goes for bad wheel bearings. Bad front end alignment also worsens gas mileage.
Still change it every 3k, never ever had an issue...
@@ginog5037 ???
@@element5377 oil
Huge V8 engines also worsen Gas mileage 😂
An old, weak battery causes the alternator to work harder trying to charge it thus using more fuel.
Thank you Scotty, you have the best advice. I just purchased a Lincoln MKX 2012, and, because I don't drive often, I found that I need a Trickle Charger. Thank you for confirming this for me.
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints! ❤️
you heard Scotty pouring coke in your gas tank increases gas milage🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@raven4k998 I tried that after seeing this and now my car runs funny. I don’t think I will listen to him anymore
2:08 oh yeah totally true. You can use a bicycle analogy. The more threaded your tires are, the more force you have to apply on the pedals to speed up in asphalt. Of course you have better turning and works well on dirt. But at the expense of energy being wasted.
Thank you sir I always learn something everytime I watch your videos personally I think that you're the best mechanic on TH-cam. God bless you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
You rock sir ive waited for a no nonsensense approach to saving a buck or two in this ever increasing cost of owning a vehicle time were now in . Anything ti increase gas mileage is awesome ny friend thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge!
How about no Jack Rabbit starts. No speeding. Anticipate your stop at a light or sign and just coast. Feather your accellarator.
And if your car as a fuel economy readout, monitor that and adjust your driving accordingly.
I can picture Scotty on a wet go cart track drifting around the turns 🤣
wait you haven't tried that yet try it it's a whole lot of safe fun🤣🤣
Señor muchas gracias
Never go by the suggested tire pressure info tag in your car's door jam. Inflate all tires to 3 psi under the max pressure stamped in the sidewall actually nets 7% better mileage
Great advice. However, I would also advise people to pay attention to the ambient temperature, realizing that the psi will increase or decrease approximately 1 psi with every 10 degree change in ambient temperature. This could affect tire pressure monitors if your psi goes above the maximum, and it could definitely happen if there is more than a 30 or 40 degree change in temperature. Noteworthy, your tire pressure will also increase while driving it, although less so because with the increased pressure comes less friction and less heat. This usually happens more, and creates a much larger change in psi while driving whenever the tire pressure is set much lower.
Never mind, I just realized that Scotty addressed this in the video.
Personally Scotty has been great with cars and always has the right solutions keep up the work
hes a pro😃
I gotta say bud....everyday you make smile and laugh!!!🤣
Especially in mid-seasons, I prefer to keep the tank full to avoid condensation.
Make sure your throttle body (or carb) is clean.
I only use Shell regular. They have additives. What are your thoughts on being cheap gas at cheap gasoline stations?
Very good tips on saving fuel
Check the label in the door. It will show the proper cold PSI. Many cars today actually have different tire pressures for the fronts and the rears. I had a car that called for 30 PSI front and 26 PSI rear. Whenever I would have my oil changed, they would just put 35 PSI all around. I'd drive home and check them and let air out.
Thank you for the video
I feed my 2015 Toyota Tacoma 5w-30 full synthetic during oil changes. My mechanic suggested I use regular 5w-30. Is this a good suggestion?
Testing a tank: my wife's car got 22mpg with E85 highway and 40mpg (same highway) with std pump gas. I expected 32, but not a 45% hit. The e85 was only a 70 cent discount....so not worth it unless the e85 is half the price or less....then you have to fill up more often...twice as often in her case.
If your wife's car has been driven most of time on standard pump gas. You need to drive the car minimum of three tanks with E85 before it can give its best mpg because first tank of high content ethanol fuel always begins doing cleaning job to fuel system to remove all the dirt, varnish, toxic BTEX(from USA E10 gas).
Those numbers are not only due to the fuel. Other things are going on. I've been a heavy E85 user for many years and the mpg difference is not that great.
@@jthomas3773 just reporting the news for one 2014 Ford flex fuel car. Running with a verified 38 to 40mpg hwy for years. Tried a tank of E85....mileage report was in the mid 20s within 100 miles. Stayed low through the tank. Took over 200 miles of e10 (std gas 87oct) to get back up to 38.
Every tank since then I been 39hwy/32city....normal mileage.
You can imagine all you want, but nobody adjusted the car, reprogrammed the ecu, no mechanic was seen and the route was our normal 425mi valley/coastal plain trip to our daughter's house.
Like I say...imagine what you want...or just make up shite.
08 Camry, 160,122 miles...I use 5w-20 Pennzoil full synthetic. last full tank avg. 33.74 miles per gallon
Hey Scotty, quick question! I have a darling black '96 Toyota Camry in great condition. Is the power steering fluid reservoir - is that the transmission fluid? I got the car around 100,000~ miles, in late 2019 and I have no idea if the transmission fluid has ever been drained/replaced. The fluid reservoir for power steering got low a number of months back and I just filled it up to the fill line. Given the age of the vehicle, and the unknown about whether it's been replaced, should I drain it and refill with some anti-slip or, should I just keep it at the fill line and watch it?
power steering fluid and transmission fluid are two different things entirely
@@GuerreroDelInfo check owners manual ,power steering fluid uses transmission fluid.
I show much gratitude to you Mr. Scotty. You are truly amazing, and a blessing to us less informed gals.... Lol 🙏🏾
the best way is just getting rid of the gas guzzler's and just get a fuel efficient car
This is a great video!

That's also how I test my furnace filter.
ona manual transmission i started to use overdrive more and went from 26 miles to gallon to 31.5 miles to gallon on my 03 ford ranger 2.3 liter
Ive measured my 018 trax on a several occasions and it gets about 10% better mileage when using premium. Meaning when Premium is 10% or less then regular it doesnt cost more to use premium.
Hope someone can answer this, i have a 2018 sierra duramax with a lift and tires. When i set the cruise to 70, it shows 70 but i am really going 74ish. Mpg shows 15-16. Based on the speed discrepancy does this mean i am getting better or worse diesel mileage per gallon?
Hi. Been watching your videos from day one. I use 5w-30 Mobile 1 full synthetic. Have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. Has about 67 thousand miles. I don’t drive that much. Change my oil like every three months. I check the oil once a week or whenever I gas up.
Id like to see the process of reprogramming a vehicle to accurately display MPG, speed, and distance while facilitating a larger wheel diameter.
Many smart phones can be programmed to display exact speed and distance traveled.
I freakin love you. I watch all your videos
“doing this will make your car get better gas mileage”
*shows thumbnail of pouring coke in gas tank*
Oh Scotty, still has that sense of humor. 🤣
I was waiting for that tip.😂
There is a video of a guy trying that. I don't think you'll be surprised by the result.
Hey Scotty I have a 2004 infinity i35 that says on gas cap door to use premium and I've been using that, you say I can use regular unleaded??? That will save me $$$$
If I have never used E85 in my truck would the E85 clean injectors since it's a faster flow demand?
I use Amsoil signature series 0w30 synthetic, a true group IV synthetic! A true gas saving oil! Blows away the competition, for anti-wear and stability! One oil I will NEVER use is Mobil1!
Dear Scotty is down shifting (paddle shifting) to a red light on an automatic transmission better to save on breaks? Or should you just ignore that and hit the brakes?
I prefer to save the most expensive part.
So i 99% brake using the pads.
Only rarely do i engine brake, but only when in a single gear for a long distance.
Mostly when slowing down from high speeds in 5th gear.
I got stuck in sand 8 feet from a paved road.
Kind of strange when I turned traction contol off, I got unstuck. Permian basin sand is super fine in some places. Like dust.
Actually that's what they tell you to do to disable your traction control in the snow or the mud
@@paulgallo6484 huh. What about older vehicles that don't have an on/off switch for TCS?
Some are still on the road. Maybe those should stick to pavement?
@@fromthebackofmymind you obviously have no idea how it works
Thank you Scotty, 😊 💓
I Have a 2010 avalon bought 228000 now at 239000 I want to change the Trans fluid but don't kno the history. it runs well and I need it to go 500000 can change it. Could I use original toyota fluid drain and fill ? Any suggestions.
I'm just here for the Coca Cola 😋🥤✌🏽
Well that's interesting, didn't know new tires would get you worse gas mileage, you learn something new everyday
It’s never cold 🥶 in these hot Texas summers 😅🤣🔥

Hey Scotty I have a 2003 Saab 9-3 arc 2.0t is says in the book in all caps don't use anything less then 92 would that computer adapt to 87 if I switched??
Good information
I've run E85 in my '14 Silverado and definately get 25-30% lower MPG. Best tips: don't accelerate hard from a green light and coast into a red light instead of flying in and breaking hard. The best MPG i've gotten over a 25mile range was nearly 33miles with the V6.
I get 11 mpg in my I4 lol
Good advice on the driving tips.
I drive a mustang v8 and get pretty good gas milage when the police are looking.
Wow great video
More friction on new tires, last time I got new tires for my Tundra, at low speeds they sounded like suction cups going down the street.
If you don't need serious off-road traction, go for the most highway-rib design for the lowest rolling resistance.
I was springing for non ethanol gas but today it jumped 40 cents to 5.30 a gallon same price as a gallon of diesel in Alabama.
Os a 1999 Maxima modern enough to run regular gas instead of premium?
How do you keep your front lights so clear?. I clean mine once a year but it only lasts like three months. I keep my car till the wheels fall off.
Hey scotty from England 🇬🇧 love the videos keep em coming👍👍👍
Scotty Kilmer our car mechanic genius! 😁👍
I know what you mean Scotty! I love my Tundra Crewmax Limited with an V8 engine 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍
Scotty you’re a riot
I have a 2007 Lexus ES 350 I use Premium Gas with Gas Prices study going up…Is Premium a must can I use Regular Gas or even the middle one…
very good for saving gas... plus thing ever one should do to keep the car in good repair
? is the better gas mileage from worn tires due to smaller tire circumference giving odometer false reading, increasing the mileage read out, and lower weight tires?
Scotty is there a way to remove haze from inside 2011 Honda Civic LX
Sir scott klimer im gerald of binan laguna philippines i wanna ask if how frequent i would use the carbuerator cleaner wynns brand and also the liquid for which i pour directly in my fuel tank thank you sir scott your the man
I have a 77 ford ltd and they don’t make the tires for it anymore the tires for it are considered trailer tires and when I went to get tires they had to make it .3 or 3 inches bigger will that effect gas mileage
you don't wanna do half tanking. may work in hot climate but anywhere where it's moist alot of time this lets the moist air get in the fuel tank and make the fuel tank rust on inside. if you fill it all the way then there is no room for moist air
Thank you Scotty for using sign language
