Top 12 ideas for saving petrol/fuel in your car/vehicle
1. Drive between 45-55 Km/H - Drive slow and steady
2. Keep your engine healthy - Tests on a large number of cars prove that you can save as much as 6% by tuning your car regularly
3. Drive in the Correct Gear - Incorrect gear shifting can lead to as much as 20% increase in fuel consumption. Start your car in the 1st gear only, except if you are in a muddy patch or going downhill then engage the 2nd gear.
4. Don’t wait for your car to warm up - Instead, drive in low gear till the engine warms up. Use choke briefly only when necessary.
5. Good Braking Habits - Stop-and-go driving wastes fuel. When you slam on the brakes, a lot of useful energy is wasted in the form of heat. A good driver always anticipates stops.
6. Keep your Foot off the Clutch - Use clutch only when you change gears. Riding the clutch causes loss of energy and damages clutch-linings.
7. Clean Air Filter Regularly
8. Watch Your Tyre Pressure - Under inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, which leads to higher petrol consumption.
9. Switch off the engine at stops of over 2 minutes.
10. Plan Your Route - Fuel consumption in a highly congested road can be double the normal.
11. Reduce Loads - Unnecessary loads increase fuel consumption. Do you really need to carry the luggage rack?
12. Share Your car-for car pools - Look for people who go in the same direction as you. You can share your car and the costs.
