a) Service your Car regularly
Keep your vehicle well-mantained so that it runs at peak efficiency. An inefficient engine cannot optimise the use of fuel, so dont be stingy with this. Change parts like the air filter whenever the need arises.
b) Maintain Correct tyre pressure
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance. Keep them properly inflated according to the recommended pressure shown in the car manual.
c) Avoid Aggressive driving
Make it a habit to accelerate gradually from a stop and brake gently. Sudden accelerations, weaving in and out of traffic and hard-braking waste fuel and wear out the brakes and tyres faster.
d) Close windows at high speeds
Forget about driving down the highways with your hair blowing in the wind like in the movies. Keep your windows closed when travelling at high speeds. Open windows increase aerodynamic drag on the vehicle.
e) Switch to lower Octane fuel
Pricier high octane fuel isnt always necessary. Many cars are designed to use regular low-octane. Hence high octane fuel usage doesnt guarantee better performance. In fact, such fuels dont provide any greater efficiency.
