Gas prices were $1.85 Friday morning, but the line was a mile long! 🙀I drove by again today, but the sign said $4.29! 😜
@The Honda Guy 1000$
I will eat part of my 03 3500 chevy with 8.1 gas gets 20 mpg!!!
@The Honda Guy I would put it up for 2500 if it runs
@The Honda Guy $15 to some mexican
I radically increased my gas mileage by letting my car sit in the driveway. 😂
Technically that would make you gas mileage even lower. 0 miles / 0 gallons = 0 mpg. 😂
I have tried that and it really works. Thanks.
Horse feed goes up though
More power to u. U can't go wrong.👍

As a mechanic all I can say is I love Scotty Kilmer, we
need one in every town.
As a female "non-mechanic," I also love Scotty Kilmer! He provides/shares so much valuable info for many of us lay-people too!
one as my next door neighbor and close friend.
Clone Scotty 😂
As long as you don't have to work with him!!! LOL
Anyone else watch Scotty's videos like he's the news? Love him
Yep all the time.
Yup every day I watch Scotty
We wait with baited breath. Hoping our phones will announce a new video with that all too familiar ping.
Scott is 10x better than the news. The news sucks, except for weather.
He is the biggest tightwad ive ever seen… is it jist a sthick!? I bet he has a $100,000 car behind his house and its all an act… no one can really be that damn cheap
Some years ago, I tried using Lucas Oil Fuel Treatment to my old Ford Ranger, and tested it by adding it on a full tank one week, then excluding it on the tank fill up. I keep a log of the mileage on every fill up with and without Lucas Oil. After multiple tests, I discovered that I would increase 50 EXTRA MILES when I added Lucas Oil to a full tank of my '95 Ford Ranger!
This isn't an AI comment right LOL
Lucas is good
My 2009 Ford Escape gained 3 MPG by doing one simple thing. I drive it now instead of my wife.
Lol thatl do it
😅😂🤣
And l just open the door and push him out. No more annoying noises and better gas milage, it works!!!
❤️🙏❤️
I still drive my wife from time to time. Maybe that's my problem.... LOL 😂

Hi Scotty. You are a wonderful human being who wants to help people.

Yes he is Eagle! Yes he is! Agreed 👍
I watch Scotty off and on all day. He’s a hoot and I’m learning stuff. I share his videos with my husband.
...don't feed the troll
"... a hoot"? Are you 0lder than dirt?
@@wagner9050 yes I am-70.
We own a 11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD pickup with a 4.0L V6 and a 5spd automatic transmission.
It has 3.55 gears in the rear differential.
I was getting 19mpg with the cruise control set on 75mph.
After adding a K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust, I now get 23mpg.
The truck is mainly used for work around our property and has only 36K miles.
Absolutely agree with you on the Iridium plugs, Scotty! Since I put them in my 6 cyl 3400 Olds Alero three years ago I have gotten better mpg and performance and since I drive less than a thousand miles a year I'm sure they are going to last longer than me. Bosch Iridium.
Sugar in the gas tank reduces fuel burn too. Did on my principals car in 8th grade. Same year I learned how to clean the entire fuel system on a Ford Bronco. And paint a house, and plant trees & a lawn.😶
hhahahahaha
Car must be running real sweet ❤️🇮🇪
I run synthetic oil, K&N air filters and OEM plugs in all my vehicles .. I'm happy with the results

Most gas savings devices also come with a booklet with driving tips to help maximize your gas mileage. The gain you see is not from the device. It’s from better driving practices. Like slow and steady acceleration. Like letting off the gas earlier and coasting to a stop.
IMO Best way to increase you mpg is the free way! Just mind your driving. Accelerate slower, accelerate going into a hill, not when you already slowing down while going up. Try to cruise at a speed that allows your car to be at lower rpms. (2k around 55-60mph in my case depending on highway speed limits) Ya might make a few speed demons mad, but taking it easy will get a good thank you from your car too!
have to be careful not to over inflate but making sure your tires are at/slightly above recommended psi maximizes mpg as well.
I'm actually giving that xcap test run myself in Phoenix to see if it's legit. Started a few days ago and so far it seems promising but I only burned and 1/8 of a tank. I'm usually doing 400 miles give or take to the tank but between miles empty and my trip i got 450 projected when I go to my next fill up.
@@thegods2622 Any news on this yet?
My best technique is to draft a good size vehicle, kinda illegal though 😝
@@AK-gb9rp oh heck Yea and making sure proper regular maintenance is done on the vehical will save gas and money too in the long run!
@@donmohave so far it seems legit between the trip miles and miles to empty it's projecting 467 miles. That's about 18% gain and that driving on both highway and city driving and I only burned only an 1/4 so far.
Riding a bicycle will give you 600+ mpg! I know, as I tried it for a year, got into GREAT shape, saved enough in insurance alone to pay for the bicycle, and probably cost me all of about $50 more in food the entire year. The gas savings for the first three months paid for all my gear, including shoes, short bibs, long bibs, rain legs, helmet, gloves, jacket...
Try riding 365 days in Minnesota . 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅 🥵🥵 🥶🥶
Oh ok I know you, your that guy that the road sign says bicycles have full access of lane and holding up traffic.😂
We should all be doing that.

Slow down - gets better gas mileage 😊
Remember some of the cars in the 70s Where they converted them over to run on propane leaving the inside of your engine cleaner and also your oil and lasting longer in the crankcase check that out.
I pray that uoure still here in 2035. I think youre a great guy Scotty. God bless you and your family.

Scotty. I'm not a mechanic (yet), but I am a tecnical guy. I followed your other channels for for simple help on a budget. I changing a simple wiper blade fix to drastically reduce wind noise and turned my car into a luxury vehicle. Dumb question: can Akibono brakes save on gas mileage? Is it as simple as wiper blade changes? I now have a Motorcycle.
Thank you so much for sharing these amazing tips!
Love your Style and Passion, would LOVE to have a beer with you and talk about ANYTHING, really enjoy your videos, sure wish we had more people like you in this country!!! Unique and Hyped up on Knowledge 🙂
You are one of the best mechanic Thank you for being a great man
Scotty is a northerner who transplanted to Tennessee. He reminds me of a fellow paratrooper stationed with me in the early 70's from Wisconsin, but that can't be. I started mechanic school in '72 not in '68 while at Fort Bragg, at the ROTC Sumner Camp under Col. Pruitt and Col Shepard under the guidance of SMaj A. Denny Scott, known as Scotty the Paratrooper.
Dear Scotty tell me how you have so much energy. I wish I had some of that!!! Too much to do but not enough energy ☺️!!!!! Your great 👍👍👍👍
For a car that’s overheating before checking the engine always check the radiator fan control module
Those ford escapes from 2005-2015 have a transmission band that commonly breaks
And make’s transmission fail…
YOU DONT NEED TO OVERHAUL them…
There’s a wall on the drivers side wheel area pull the plastic wheel well out and there’s a port door on the side of the transmission wall..drop the transmission down towards ground slightly and open the port wall on the transmission the metal drive belt is in there…
It pops out and u pop the new belt in and put all back together and the thing is Alive and shifting like new again..
I saw a pic on instagram saying this is ironic to see. A tree fell on an electric car in a storm. Great posts. Keep up the great work
Scotty, the thing about mothballs comes from drag racing. Back in the day (40s/50s/60s???) mothballs had nitromethane/methanol as active ingredient, which is toxic to moths and humans, but is also basically what top fuel dragsters and funny cars ran on. Of course stuffing mothballs into a gas tank will work about as well as stuffing gas tank with sulfur match heads - do not try this at home/expect something bad to happen.
Gee, I thought that top fuel was blended with oxygenated nitrate, tetraethyl lead and some nitro. Nitro?
You know, the stuff thats in two stroke rc cars. 10%, 15%. Mothballs? Nope.
2010 CRV with +200,000 miles. Switched to midgrade and now i get 4-5 more MPG. 5-7 if my girlfriend doesn't drive.
Good information!!
All I know is that doing anything to a fuel injected engine to raise fuel mileage is difficult. The computer makes compensations to negate your efforts. Where I used modified plugs with a Carb, the fuel efficiency increases were much greater than that with fuel injection. You'll never get the efficiency from injection that you'll get with true atomization. Just my experience.
My Suzuki GV appreciates your videos Scotty.
His solution to the windows rolling down makes sense. The honk locking noise annoys me, so I started just locking it from the inside and it just feels normal idk y I ever used the stupid remote. I never worry if I locked the car, I pushed the button - I know it's locked. I only use the remote to unlock and the rare time for valet mode.
Car manufacturers spend millions to gain an extra 1mpg. The competition makes it necessary. If an air filter, or a silly magnet, or some weird fan thing in the intake, or a pill, worked, believe me they would use it.
great content thanks
Scotty for President
We love you Scotty. Don't die
I totally disagree on best gas mileage when a vehicle is new. I have a Volvo XC60-T6 which is rated at 23 mpg highway. Initially I got around 25 during the summer and over the years it improved and at 70 mph on the highway with the cruise control on I get over 29 mpg. If driving at 55 mph I get 32 mpg which is significantly better than when new.
Scotty you're a great guy and very knowledgeable love your show
That's what I like about the 1st generation Tundra, the plugs are easy to get out.
Thanks for your Videos 👍 Blessings to you and your love ones Amen.
2007 Altima 2.5 has two thermostats. Replace them both although one is not as easy to change. I replaced both of mine, radiator and both hoses.
Love your channel
great advice as always, Scotty!
One day going to work I was wearing new socks and my fuel mileage was better than before
Yeah! But if you had walked to work with your new sucks the mileage skyrocket
Scotty came back with an option for me to leave my car for 2 weeks. I respect him and appreciate the offer but I can’t go without the car that long. Hope there is another way to get an analysis from Scotty.
Haha the Tornado 0:37 I remember those things
Morass…I learned a new word today from Scotty the scholar.👏👏
love your vids guy from Canada
My fuel costs dropped dramatically after buying a siphon hose
☆☆☆☆☆ THANK YOU SCOTTY ! ! ! YOU YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS BE SAFE ! ! ! ☆☆☆☆☆

Thanks again, Scotty but 2035 on the current course I would be surprise if we get to 2030. I love your mechanical teachings and have learn a lot from you. Thank you, and take care now
Thank you Scotty
The airports are going to have a hell of a time going over to Electric
I hope you're around in 2035 too Scotty! The world will be gone so crazy by then I will probably be even more entertained by your videos!
I tried these XCAPs myself. On my 2001 Rx I went from 15.6 to 17.1 a 1.5 MPG improvement on a 19.8 gallon Netting an extra 24 miles. At $ 4 bucks a gallon that around a 1.5 gal savings or about $ 7.50 cent savings and they cost me about $2.50 on-line. Doing it soon the second time. So, I like them.Other stuff at the big auto stores didn’t work for me.
2nd tank at 18.3
What is an xcap?what type of car?city or highway driving?
I do he’s a great help and a good guy
An obstruction in the exhaust system will cause over heating
That little silver cylinder with the blue bands on the edges and what looks like a fan inside, that Scotty shows in the beginning- I got suckered into buying one online for a Chrysler minivan, supposedly they improve gas mileage. There's nothing to them. I never even installed the thing in the van, maybe I will use it as a paperweight. But I feel better about buying one now, knowing that Scotty also got suckered into buying one.
Scott,how do I find videos that you have done on buying a used truck. You did a great video on what type of truck would be good to buy and like a dummy I failed to write down what you talked about and now I am trying to find it again.

Scotty, you might have missed your calling as an orchestra conductor. Kinda like those things in front of car dealerships that are flailing their arms everywhere.

A try!
Some guy did a video recently charging his Hummer EV and it cost him $20 for 60 miles of charge. Just for reference, it costs me $13 to drive that 60 miles and I have a ford f150 15.5mpg avg. As far as I know it's a scam, hybrid technology looks far more promising if they'd ever put the money there
When I purchased my 2016 Toyota Tacoma it was getting 485-530 kms/tank. That's bad fuel economy but that's what you are getting out of them from factory.
I talked to so many Taco owners and they as well are getting the same mileage!!
I could not accept that so after some tweaking and minor mods immediately was getting almost 700km/tank and still am to this day !!! I can prove it
I even took it to my local dealership and they were surprised> I took my truck in for a custom tune to get better shifting and response and the tech guy had never in all the years of tuning the Taco's has never seen mileage like mine !!!
thanks scotty!
I remember moth balls in the gas tank in the early 70's
Change the thermostat. Yes indeed. Just did it. 20O8 Dodge Caravan. About $25. Took me about an hour from the time I finished my breakfast until I was test driving it. Had to find my tools😀. Love your show!
Scotty, here’s a weird fact then , I bought my 2014 Ford Edge Brandnew 12Km on pickup , the first 5000km had garbage fuel economy, the next 5000 were the best and only went down hill from there
I am sure I'll regret posting this amongst all of these car fans... but my 2002 VW Jetta GLI with the 24 valve VR6 200HP 6-speed manual has easily accessible spark plugs. Which is great because the ignition coils on these engines need to be replaced about every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers as they get too hot and break in half. So you need good slim, long nosed forceps to get right into the spark plug chamber and pull out the broken half that is still stuck onto your spark plug. Pain in the butt, but easily done in less than 10 minutes if you have the right tools.
Scotty. Want your opinion on this one. What do you think about adding specifically TC-W3 ashless 2 cycle oil to your vehicle to act as an upper cylinder lubricant at the ratio of roughly 500:1 or 640:1 or roughly one ounce per every five gallons of gasoline on fill up. I've heard this method thrown around many motorist forums with positive results increasing gas mileage 1-2mpgs, mildly decarboning your piston crowns and no long term detrimental effects to the catalytic converter. I attempted it on my 2009 Lexus RX 350 for a year without any fouled plugs or check engine lights and did see a small bump in mpg's. I was not using top tier gas back then. But have been using exclusively Shell gas and SOPUS products for the last year. They have good additive packs in their oils. Especially Quaker State and Pennsoil Ultra Platinum, and good detergents in their gas. Sometimes I do BP or Sunoco if the price is right also.
That is Such a good question !
Greetings Scotty, You are obviously knowledgeable about cars, and gasoline. So, I have a question.
I bought a new Rav4 hybrid in 2022 and always put regular gas in it. When I filled up the tank,
for a year and longer, I got 565 to 575 miles to a fillup, no problem. Then I started noticing the gas pump would stop before the tank was full, which it has been doing ever since. I have to keep pressing the pump several times, after it stops the pump, to fill it up. In addition, when I fill the tank, I am only getting 500 or maybe as much as 525 miles to the full tank.
Is this because it used to be a new car, or has the gasoline become less efficient in some way?.
I am not doing anything differently when I get gasoline versus when the car was new.
Thank you for your insights.
YOU DA MAN SCOTTY!
Thanks Scotty for the your iconic words of wisdom 😇
This dudes like Ricky Bobby
Don’t know what to do with his hands while being interviewed…
Legends!!!!
Yep, I read somewhere that if you drive backwards you can actually get into negative mpg territory
Does top tier fuel clean better?
Hey Scotty. I have a 98 Dodge Dakota I replaced my headlight bulb three times before I found out it was the rain getting in the gap between the hood and the headlight. I just put some gap sealer in there and close the gap that way. Replaced the new headlight bulb and I'm still blowing headlights headlight bulbs what do I do?
It's not impossible to change those plugs I got a 2000 v6 camry and got to them by removing the pcv hose on the passenger side of the engine. not a easy job but a lot of patience helps. did it in 2 days. extentions and rubber hose to feed the spark plugs in the motor to get them started then extentions after that on my socket wrench.
what a guy
I bought a 2015 accura mdx one owner. Whats your opinion about this model..
Scotty, how do you feel about the product called “Heet” formulated to remove any water in gasoline fuel lines?
paper is kind ! it will take what ever you put on it !
When you get 2mpg, it's pretty easy to double. Not so much with 35mpg
That was my thoughts exactly.
Interesting, I've always heard vehicles can get better mileage after engine is "broke in" 🤔
The BEST way to increase gas mileage, SLOW DOWN.
Hwy speed limit is 65, 70 . you don't have to go 80 and up.
Florida, actually every State I have driven in, lots of crazy drivers going excessive speeds and tailgating.
Easy gains way - bang the car into neutral on a nice flat stretch of road doing a steady speed & see how your car rolls. If it starts to slow rapidly, chances are the brakes are dragging/bearings bad/tyres soft, blah blah - you want it rolling smooth & easy. Smooth & easy means your engine isn't fighting excess drag. Sort that first, go from there.
Hi Scotty! I have a Mazdacx5 2018 with 66432 miles. Which Iridium should i get?

Hi Scott, how is the 2014 Outlander petrol 2.4 Automatic. Have not seen any of your videos' on this.
I'm thinking about buying a Mazda CX-3, how reliable/good is the Automatic gear box
3:05 2012 Toyota Camry v6 back 3 spark plugs hard to reach. must remove intake plenum to access. most v6 injector now. Huge asspain. use iridium plugs. Will last 200,000 miles
Hey Scotty what do you think about Toyota Avalon XLE Touring year 2015
i believe you mist your calling , you should be a orchestra conductor . Just a retired Mercedes tech, 45 year career enjoying your video !
Scotty, watched you for years. Kudos. What do you think of BG 44K® Platinum fuel system cleaner. I have a 2007 Civic just now turned 90K miles. I put one can in in the spring and just now put another one in because I was sitting at a stop light and noticed that I was idling around 500RPM. It didn't smooth out until around 650RPM. COSTCO gasoline whereas for the first 14 yrs only Shell. But I had read somewhere that BG 44K was the best on the market. Yes? No? Waste of money?
