Our inventory of used cars in Owensboro, KY offers models for commuters of all backgrounds. Looking for something reliable that offers good fuel economy? Learn why our pre-owned cars are just as fuel-efficient as their new counterparts.
Fuel Efficiency of Pre-Owned Vehicles
Even models that are several years old and have thousands of miles on the odometer can still operate with a fuel economy comparable to an identical model from the current year. The key lies in how well the car was maintained and serviced over the years.
With a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle, our technicians provide the car with the necessary care to ensure it retains optimal performance. This includes:
- A 160-point multi-point inspection
- All damaged components replaced with OEM parts
- A full evaluation of the car’s history from CARFAX
Components like the oxygen sensor, air filter, and spark plug all affect fuel efficiency. These parts are all rigorously inspected during the multi-point inspection phase.
Keep in mind a pre-owned car from a private seller doesn’t include this essential inspection, so its performance doesn’t come with the same guarantees.
How to Maximize Fuel Efficiency of a Pre-Owned Car
While most of our pre-owned cars retain good fuel efficiency, there’s still more you can do to improve your fuel efficiency.
- Follow regular oil change intervals
- Keep your tires inflated within their recommended psi
- Keep stop-and-go driving to a minimum, if possible
- Avoid idling for long periods
