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.

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!!
