Fuel Saving Tip: Slow Down in North Kingstown

There’s not much North Kingstown drivers can do about the price of gas in RI, but we can control - up to a point - how much we use. Our driving habits can dramatically affect our fuel economy.

The first thing we can do is watch the go-pedal. Hard acceleration just sucks the gas. Gently leave stop lights and plan lane changes so you don’t need to floor it. That can save you hundreds of dollars a year in improved gas mileage.

Go a little slower on RI expressways. North Kingstown drivers who go more than 65 miles an hour (105 kilometers per hour) will see their gas mileage drop dramatically. Leave early so you don’t need to rush to be on time. And cruise control is your friend – steady speeds use less gas.

Plan errands ahead. Make fewer trips by combining errands around North Kingstown.

Hey at current North Kingstown gas prices, a lead-foot might as well be a gold foot.

Need a New Battery? Call Hans Imports Today

Hello North Kingstown drivers! Need a new battery? There is a good chance that you do – 70% of batteries need to be replaced within four years. As your battery discharges and then recharges as you drive around North Kingstown, bits of the surface of the battery plates disintegrate. As this process continues over a few years, the alternator has to work harder to supplement the battery charge. Over time, enough of the battery is damaged that it can no longer hold a charge and it needs to be replaced. This also speeds up wear on the alternator.

Your Hans Imports service advisor can help you determine the right vehicle replacement battery for the way you drive around North Kingstown, as well as the RI climate and durability needs.

Contact Hans Imports for information on battery replacement.
