Fuel Saving Tips

Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time

Check your tire pressure. Under-inflated tires are one of the most commonly ignored causes of reduced mileage. Tires lose air due to time and temperature. Under-inflated tires have more rolling resistance, which means you need to burn more fuel to keep your car moving.

Drive steadily. Slowing down or speeding up wastes fuel. Also avoid tailgating - the driver in front of you is unpredictable. Not only is it unsafe, but if affects your economy

Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.

Take advantage of rolling resistance rather than heavy braking to help slow you down. This deceleration technique is one of the best for fuel saving.

Changing spark plugs regularly can save a lot.

Drive in gear corresponding to the speed.

Get your vehicle serviced regularly.

Regular vehicle tune-ups ensure best economy

A dirty air filter restricts the flow of air into the engine, which harms performance and economy.

Do not use the clutch too much.

Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag.

Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds.
