What else can you do to make it even better? Follow these 10 steps and give better economy a big thumbs up
1. Use air-conditioning sparingly, Sometimes it’s hard to avoid using your air-conditioning, but remember that it does put added strain on your engine on hot or cold days.
2. Avoid high speeds, The faster you go, the more wind resistance you’ll encounter and the more fuel your vehicle will consume just to maintain speed.
3. Avoid over-revving. Use higher gears as much as you can, you drive in higher gear, you’ll use less fuel, so change up a gear whenever you can.
4. Keep a constant speed, If Instead of coasting when you reach a downward slope, maintain steady engine revs. This will help you to maintain a constant speed rather than picking up speed and is likely to have a positive effect on your fuel consumption.
5. Drive smoothly, If you drive aggressively, you can burn up to a third more fuel than if you drive smoothly. Avoid accelerating or braking too hard and try to keep your steering as even as possible.
6. Use cruise control, Using cruise control on major roads can help you maintain a constant speed and helps you make all those drops count.
7. Avoid rush hour, If you can travel outside of peak times, you’ll spend less time stuck in traffic and use less fuel drops as a result.
8. Keep your tyres at the right pressure, If your tyres are under inflated by just 1psi, your fuel efficiency can be reduced by up to 3%. So pump up those tyres up once a week or whenever you fill up.
9. Avoid carrying excess weight, For every extra 100 lbs (45 kg) you carry, your fuel efficiency can drop by 1-2%. So clear your car of unnecessary items that just add weight to your vehicle when you can.
10. Service your engine, Did you know a poorly maintained engine can increase your fuel consumption by up to 50%? Just replacing dirty spark plugs can improve your fuel consumption by up to 5%.
