Here are some helpful tips for saving on your car’s fuel costs:

Check the air pressure in your tires: Keep the air pressure on all 4 wheels at the recommended levels. Under-inflated tires are a drag on fuel efficiency.

Check your speed: Most cars are built to run between 60 and 70 kilometers per hour. If you don’t maintain this range and drive over this range, then you are lowering your car’s fuel efficiency.

Using cruise control: Use cruise control while driving on highways or long stretches. This helps keep fuel consumption at a lower level by keeping your speed constant.

Reduce idle: If you are in an idle position for more than 15-20 seconds, idling consumes more fuel than it would take to restart the engine. If you need to stop the car for more than 15-20 seconds, it would be better to turn off the engine.

Plan your trip in advance: Plan your trip in advance and use a good GPS system so that you can use the shortest and least congested routes.

Look at the weight you carry: Remove unnecessary items from your car if you don’t need them. The heavier the car, the more fuel it needs to accelerate.

Maintenance: Keep your car in top condition through regular repairs and maintenance on schedule. This helps save fuel.

Share the car: Try carpooling with your colleagues or neighbors. Rotate carpooling between you.

Public transport or bicycles: Try using public transport or cycling for short trips, like going to a corner store, etc.

Try working from homeCheck with your employer if you have the option of working from home at least one or two days a week.

Break: Don’t be hard on the brakes. Rough breaks cause you to lose fuel efficiency

Be cautious when using additional accessories such as battery chargers, air conditioners, etc., these absorb energy and therefore require more fuel.
