- Do not use the clutch too much. - Drive in gear corresponding to the speed. - Get your vehicle serviced regularly. - A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50% - Driving at 55mph an hour rather than 60mph can reduce fuel consumption by 10% - Under inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 5% - A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption by as much as 5% inmotorway driving. - Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle, remove it when not in use. - Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of your brakes and tires. - Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag. - Maintain a steady speed. - Avoid unnecessary braking. - Reviving the engine just before turning off the ignition costs extra fuel and may cause engine damage. - 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. - Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds. - Changing spark plugs regularly can save a lot.
