Best fuel saving tip is obviously to switch to a “green car”, fuel guzzling cars are dinosaurs!
1. Keep your foot off the accelerator when switching on the ignition –
most cars wont need the extra revs!
2. Try not to fill the tank completely up – run at half full to reduce weight.
3. Forget the throttle and only use engine breaking when going downhill.
4. Reduce driving speeds where possible – higher speeds use more fuel.
5. Avoid air conditioning where and when possible (unless if it is a heatwave).
6. Regularly check tire pressure – under inflated tires use more fuel and need replacing more regularly.
7. Turn the engine off if stationary for more than ten seconds.
8. Reduce loads – clear your boot of unnceccesary junk
9. Reguarly check air and fuel filters as well as spark plugs – clogged filters can reduce efficiency.
10. Roof racks increase drag – take them off when not in use.
