Avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking. Smooth, gradual driving uses less fuel and reduces wear on your car.
Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance and reduce fuel efficiency. Check tire pressure regularly and keep it at the recommended level.
Cruise control maintains a constant speed, which helps reduce unnecessary acceleration and saves fuel during long highway trips.
If you're waiting for more than a minute, it's more efficient to turn off the engine and restart when needed. Idling consumes fuel unnecessarily.
Extra weight means the engine works harder. Remove unnecessary items from the trunk or roof to improve fuel economy.
Open windows create aerodynamic drag. At higher speeds (especially above 80 km/h or 50 mph), use the A/C moderately instead of keeping windows open.
A well-maintained engine runs more efficiently. Replace air filters, spark plugs, and motor oil on schedule to keep your car running smoothly and economically.
