Avoid sudden starts and stops & try to accelerate smoothly. Try to maintain a steady consistent speed. Avoid idling unnecessarily & turn off the engine if at a standstill for longer than 30 secs. (unless sitting in traffic.) Make sure your tyres are properly inflated. Use the appropriate gear. Driving in a gear lower than you need wastes fuel. Make sure you are using the correct fuel for your vehicle. Use the air con sparingly - on a hot day this can increase your fuel consumption by 10%. Service your vehicle regularly. Walk! Cycle! Leave the car at home!!

One way to save fuel that people don't realize is going slower on the interstate.  For instance, if the speed limit is 70 mph, it is much more fuel effecient to go 60 mph instead.

To aid in fuel efficiency, regular car maintenance is key. 

  • Keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommendation. 
  • Don't "gun" or rev your engine when stopped. 
  • Maintain a steady speed.  In other words, maintain the speed limit without variation.
  • If possible, don't use the air conditioner as this is a huge drain on fuel consumption.
  • Walk or bicycle in weather permits.
