How to improve your car’s fuel efficiency

Steve — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 02:34:24 +0000

You can improve your car’s fuel efficiency by:

The way your drive

• Try to consolidate your daily trips. This will also save you the cost of restarting your engine, which uses more petrol.
• Reduce the use of air conditioning if possible.
• When driving at speed ensure your windows are up to reduce drag.
• Go easy on the accelerator and brakes. Sudden starts or stops use more petrol than gradual changes in speed.
• Turn off the engine if you anticipate a lengthy delay.
• Remove unnecessary weight from the boot.
• Use overdrive and cruise control when possible as it will increase fuel economy.

Servicing your vehicle

• Replace the spark plugs in your engine regularly. This way, the air and fuel mixture will burn cleaner and more efficiently.
• Reduce friction by using high-quality motor oil.
• Check your oil levels. Low engine oil makes your engine work harder.
• Change your filters.
• Keep tyres properly inflated and have a wheel alignment.
• Have your car engine regularly serviced for optimum fuel efficiency.

If you have any enquiries or would like to book your car in for an engine service please call Steve on 9987 0088.
