How Fuel Injection & Spark Plugs Affect Fuel Efficiency.

Learn how fuel injection and spark plugs affect the fuel efficiency of your engine.

Maintenance of the fuel injectors is important to help maximize performance and reduce harmful emissions. Worn out spark plugs cause you to use more fuel than you need to. In modern cars, the computer adjusts timing when a spark plug is worn, and most drivers won't notice it. But if the problem continues or gets worse, it could lead to a bigger repair job.

For most cars, it is recommended that the fuel system be cleaned and serviced once a year or about every 15,000 miles.
