According to a 2019 AAA travel survey, nearly 100 million Americans are planning to take a family vacation this year, and half of those families expect to pack up their cars for a road trip. With driving demand at an all-time high during the peak driving season months of May through August, there are a few pre-road trip tips to keep in mind, especially for diesel vehicles, when gearing up for summer travel.
Whether you’re hauling your boat to the nearest lake or driving cross-country for college orientation, it’s important to take the right steps to ensure the diesel vehicle working hard to get you there is ready.
Below are tips from the ExxonMobil Synergy Diesel Efficient™ team:
Don’t overlook the type of fuel you put in your vehicle. The bread and butter of a smooth summer road trip is using a fuel that’s formulated to keep your diesel engine running cleaner, ultimately helping to improve mileage. Using an additized diesel fuel, such as Synergy Diesel Efficient (SDE) from your nearest Exxon or Mobil station, can help deliver cleaner fuel injectors resulting in reduced emissions, enhanced engine power and can even help lower maintenance costs over time*. Your fuel selection matters and addressing the variables that impact your vehicle’s performance will give you peace of mind when road tripping.

Basis for comparison for all claims is versus diesel without additive.
