Travel light – remove all unnecessary stuff from your car. The more weight your car carries, the more fuel it requires to accelerate.
Go high – Driving on lower gears eats up more fuel than if you drive on higher gears. As soon as you reach a speed that allows a shift to higher gears, do so.
Don’t idle – when waiting for someone turn off the engine and open your windows (just make sure you are in a safe place). Avoid traffic jams. Map out a route with less vehicular volume or take to the road at times when there is less traffic.
Don’t go too fast – limit your speed to 80kph, which is more fuel-efficient than driving at 100kph and above. Driving at high speeds consumes more fuel.
Check your tires – make sure your tires have the correct air pressure. Too much or too little will slow down your car and increase fuel use.
