5 Ways to Maximize Fuel Efficiency in Baltimore, MD

5 Ways to Maximize Fuel Efficiency in Baltimore, MD

There are many ways you can maintain your vehicle’s efficiency once it comes home with you. At Antwerpen Hyundai, we want to help you protect your investment and get the most life out of your car. In order to assist you, we’ve prepared this overview with five ways you can maximize your fuel efficiency while driving around Baltimore. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a service, we recommend you can do so online. 

Lighten the Load

Our first suggestion to conserve your fuel and make the most of every stop at the pump, you should consider lightening the load on your vehicle. We understand you’re not always towing additional luggage, but in the event that you’re simply loading up whatever you need in your cargo area, this can be causing your wheels unnecessary strain. With the additional burden, they are working harder to rotate along the street, so you’re accelerating more and using more fuel.

Follow Manufacturer Guidelines

Within your Owner’s Manual, you will discover a list of various manufacturer recommendations. Anything from the kind of engine oil used to the specific coolant used, these are put into the manual with the intention of informing the consumer of what works best for their model. Also found in the list is the kind of gasoline that best works with your engine, which will provide you with the smoothest driving experience possible.  

Perform Services

Have you gotten your engine oil changed lately? Or maybe your brakes have been making noise when you depress the pedal. If your car has not been serviced in quite some time, it might be one of the reasons you’re using more gasoline than before. In order for your engine to run, it needs gasoline. If it’s having a hard time running or is strained with used oil that has a lot of gunk and buildup, you will be using more fuel than normal. Perform routine maintenance with our Service Department!

Plan Trips Ahead

Technology is often evolving in ways that are meant to make our lives easier. When you plan a vacation or a road trip, you can view your destination on applications. If your car has Bluetooth® capability, you can connect your device to your touchscreen and view your route through there. Often, these apps will offer you the fastest routes as well as the most fuel efficient ones so you’re able to save fuel and plan your stops accordingly. 

Idle Stop and Go

Hyundai models of recent years have been equipped with a performance feature that can help you conserve your car’s fuel. Idle Stop and Go will turn off your engine when you’re at a full stop. This will not allow your model to waste gasoline when it is stopped. If you get caught at a railroad crossing and before you is a freight train, you will be wasting your gas for no reason. Keep this feature engaged and you will be using your fuel in a more efficient manner. If you have any questions or would like to participate in any services, contact us today!

Che was incredibly polite and helpful in my recent visit to Hyundai Catonsville for my oil change service. After the technician had performed the service, Che came by with a list of recommended services that I might want to have done additionally or keep in mind for future visits. I appreciated that I wasn’t put into any position where I felt pressured to add on services right then and there. Che kept a very professional demeanor the whole time, and I truly felt like my opinion as a customer mattered and that the experience was about customer-focused attention and care. The new location is clean, well-stocked with beverages and snacks for customers who wait and a comfortable seating area with large televisions to help pass the time. It was perfect since I had my 3-year old with me as I waited for the service to be completed. The service was also done in under two hours. Thank you to the service team members at Hyundai Catonsville, especially Che, for my great (first, at the new location) service experience.

We came in knowing the type of vehicle we wanted, but not much about the options or process. Erica made sure we were well informed and gave us unpressured time and help finding resources to be sure we were making the choice with which we would be happy. Our son came with us to the test drive as well and was treated with respect and patience in his excitement about back butt warmers and extra leg space. We love our new car, and would absolutely purchase a future vehicle from this location.

Everyone was very professional, welcoming, and friendly.

Was directed to the Catonsville Hyundai dealer by Antwerpen’s used car platform. They brought the car from the original location for a test drive. Eben was a great salesperson and helped foster a solid deal and relationship. They were in the midst of changing locations so we had a couple hiccups as they moved, but Scott Simering came aboard to make sure we had a great close and follow up after the purchase. Appreciated all of Scott’s help to make this an easy and seamless purchase while being new and during a location change. The team followed up for a couple weeks after to ensure a great relationship was built. Shout out to Chris and his service team for their help getting the vehicle ready. Jack says yes!

She made sure to keep me a breast of everything that was happening to my vehicle, she even informed me I could watch the work being done on the screen in the waiting area. I will continue to take my car back there for service. Thanks

"Nice and clean facility with clear communication, but overpriced service." The facility itself is nice and clean, and the staff provided clear communication throughout the process. However, I am not satisfied with the service pricing. I own another luxury SUV that is more expensive than my Elantra. When I’ve had similar services performed at that brand's dealership, the total was actually less than the estimate Hyundai provided. Because of the high cost, I had to decline some of the recommended services and only proceed with what I wanted to proceed at Hyundai. It makes no sense why servicing an Elantra would be more expensive than a higher-end vehicle. While I am happy with the quality of service provided and will continue to visit for certain needs, I will be taking my car to a different local shop for other required fluid exchange services due to these high costs.
