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.
