Make Your Ride More Fuel Efficient With These Tips | Frederick, MD

What’s worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm? POTHOLES. The bane of the driver’s existence and sometimes a totally unavoidable evil… especially in the winter. Water gets into preexisting cracks in the pavement, and when it freezes, it expands. This destabilizes the pavement and creates a weakness that quickly becomes a pothole. So, what do you do? The first thing is to drive slowly and approach potholes that you can see with caution. If you can drive around them, do so! To avoid unseen potholes, avoid driving through puddles (especially localized puddles because they are probably in a pothole and you have no idea how deep that pothole is) of all sizes. If you can’t avoid a pothole, slow down and drive over it slowly. That’s all there is to it! But if you miss the pothole and it’s too late to slow down, be careful that your vehicle was not damaged as you drove over it. If you think that your vehicle was damaged, then pull over when it’s safe to do so and do a quick exterior check. This is when it’s super useful to know what your car is supposed to look like, so you should try to get familiar with that! If you can’t see exterior damage (i.e. to your tires, bumpers, etc.) then get back in and start off slowly. If your vehicle pulls to one side or another, your alignment is likely off. That’s something that you can’t fix on your own, so bring it into the shop. Finally, report any potholes you see to the local DOT. The more information they have about potholes, the quicker they get filled and the quicker the roads are made safe again. Great job, you! Hit A Pothole? Schedule Your Service Now!

If you’re like anyone else in this day and age, you’re interested in saving money and also in increasing your vehicle’s fuel economy. It’s okay, there’s no shame in that! The two definitely go hand in hand, as when you have better fuel economy, you don’t have to fill up your tank as often, which saves money! So, how can you manage this? We’re definitely not all electric vehicle drivers - but the secret is that you don’t have to be one to get better gas mileage. Keep reading for our tips! Don’t speed. It decreases your mileage tons based on your speed, because of acceleration and deceleration. Tons meaning that for every five mph over 50 you go, you’re paying about 10-20 cents more per gallon of gas. It adds up. Have patience and focus on safety, because when you are focused and attentive to the road, you tend to drive more safely. Try coasting to a stop when you see stopped cars ahead of you. It’s not only safer but also saves you gas! Rear racks are infinitely better than roof racks in terms of fuel economy. The latter really increases drag and decreases your aerodynamics, which affects your efficiency. Idling is worse than stopping. If you’re gonna be hanging out somewhere in your car that’s not a stoplight or stop sign, turn your car off fully. Idling is both bad for your fuel economy and for the environment! Cruise control is the best invention. Seriously, it fully eliminates the extra accelerations and decelerations that happen when we’re driving down the highway that can accumulate into poor fuel economy. It also keeps you going at a consistent rate of speed, which is excellent when everyone else is going either 80 or 20 and can’t choose between the two. You’re better than that, friend.

You have that one song you’ve played a thousand times. The one that still gives you chills when it hits just right. But in a car, it does not always sound the way it should. Voices get lost, details disappear. You turn the volume up and somehow it still does not feel clear. That is exactly the problem Nissan Personalized Sound was built to solve. Available on select Nissan vehicles with Google built in, this industry first technology creates an audio experience based on how you actually hear. Not how someone else hears. Not a factory preset, yours. At Younger Nissan in Frederick, we love technology that feels thoughtful, not flashy. This one listens before it speaks. What Makes Nissan Personalized Sound Different Most vehicle sound systems give you a few sliders and call it customization. Personalized Sound goes further by starting with a short in vehicle hearing test that takes about three minutes to complete. The system plays a series of tones at different pitches and volumes. You tap the screen to indicate what you hear. That information is then used to fine tune your audio across a detailed frequency range, creating a listening profile tailored specifically to you. Think of it like adjusting the lenses on a pair of glasses. Personalized Sound is Designed for Real People This technology is especially meaningful for drivers with hearing loss or sensitivity, but it is not limited to them. Audiophiles love it because it reveals depth and separation in music. Podcast listeners notice clearer voices. Navigation prompts become easier to understand without overpowering everything else. Instead of blasting sound louder, Personalized Sound makes it smarter. It balances frequencies so the details you miss most are brought forward naturally. Once drivers try it, most never turn it off. Every Driver Gets Their Own Soundtrack If your Nissan has more than one driver, no problem. Each person can create and save their own Personalized Sound profile. When you select your driver profile at startup, your custom audio settings load automatically. No more adjusting the sound every time someone else drives. No more compromises. Just your sound, your way, every time you get behind the wheel.
