Question 2

Does Spokane's altitude affect fuel and exhaust systems?

Accepted Answer

Spokane sits at roughly 1,900 feet elevation, which means slightly less air density. Modern fuel-injected engines compensate automatically, but older carbureted vehicles may need jetting adjustments. Catalytic converters also run slightly differently at altitude. Call (509) 487-0161 for a quote.

Question 3

How does winter fuel affect vehicles in Spokane?

Accepted Answer

Winter-blend gasoline is formulated to evaporate more easily in cold temperatures for better starting, but it contains slightly less energy per gallon. This is one reason fuel economy often drops a few percent during Spokane winters, along with cold engine warm-up time and denser air. Call (509) 487-0161 for a quote.
