Filter In Savings At The Gas Pump

(NC)-Feeling the pinch at the pump? Record gasoline prices have many drivers concerned about their vehicle's fuel economy. However, a simple maintenance procedure can help motorists improve their gas mileage.

According to Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency, replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10 percent.1 Based on an assumed fuel price of $0.87 per litre, that equals a potential cost savings of nearly $0.9 cents per litre, which can add up quickly. depending on the amount of driving you do on a daily basis.

"One of the easiest ways to substantially enhance a vehicle's fuel efficiency is to change a dirty or clogged air filter," said Megan Currie, FRAM product manager. "It's a quick and simple task that practically anyone can perform."

The FRAM team, leaders in automotive filtration for more than 70 years, manufactures a variety of air filters for virtually any vehicle application. Motorists can simply select the air filter that fits their vehicle and driving style, and in less than 15 minutes, they can replace an old or dirty air filter to help improve their vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.

The average motorist who commutes to work, frequents local stores or occasionally embarks on long road trips, can benefit from the FRAM brand's basic air filter: the FRAM Air Filter. This filter is composed of a paper media that provides vehicles with solid protection and performance.

Truck and SUV owners seeking extreme engine protection should look to the FRAM Tough Guard Premium Air Filter. With advanced features such as a premium pre-oiled media, heavy-duty construction and a "pleat lock" system on Flex Panel models, this filter is designed to meet the tough driving conditions trucks and SUVs often encounter.

Drivers who desire high performance benefits, such as increased engine airflow for better vehicle horsepower, will enjoy the FRAM AirHog HI-Performance Air Filter. This washable and reusable filter is designed to last the life of their vehicle, providing vehicle owners with a cost savings equal to the cost of 20 disposable filters over the life of the vehicle.

"Changing a clogged or dirty air filter can benefit any motorist and any vehicle," noted Currie. "Not only can a new air filter improve vehicle performance, it can also lead to significant savings at the gas pump. And with today's rising gasoline prices, that's an important consideration."
