Find Eco-Friendly Used Cars in Omaha

There are many reasons to consider purchasing one of the used cars available here at Woodhouse Ford of Omaha when the time comes. And since we’re dedicated to reducing your driving impact on every ride, you can expect our used vehicles to be eco-friendly as well.

Are Used Vehicles Eco-Friendly?

One of the reasons you may want to consider purchasing a used vehicle is because it extends the life of the car, which means the environmental cost of production is lower and waste is diverted from landfills. And that’s not the only thing to keep in mind when it comes to purchasing eco-friendly used cars.

While new vehicles are always going to be the most eco-friendly models on the market, simply due to advances in technology, our used cars are built to last. That means pre-owned models can more than keep up when it comes to reduced impacts and emissions.

How to Improve the Gas Mileage of Your Used Car

You can boost the eco-friendly nature of your used vehicle with a few simple steps, including the following:

• Reduce Extra Weight: Extra weight means extra fuel. By removing any cargo from your vehicle when possible, you improve fuel economy and make your vehicle more eco-friendly.
• Stick to the Highways: Faster speed limits allow for higher mileage. If you do a lot of local driving, try to combine errands, and swap to highways or more open roads when possible.
• Get the Oil Changed: Dirty oil can slow the whole vehicle’s system and require more fuel to operate. Routine oil changes can boost fuel economy quickly and easily, and the Ford service team at our dealership can help.
• Inflate the Tires: When tires are underinflated, they drag on the road’s surface, which means your vehicle requires more fuel to go the same distances. Keep them properly inflated to boost fuel economy and make your pre-owned vehicle more efficient.
