Drive Smooth and Steady
Braking and accelerating frequently, or making frequent lane changes that alter your speed, can use up much more gas than smooth, steady driving.
Optimize Your Tires
Both under - or over-inflated tires can wear out more quickly and reduce traction and friction, which can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency. Monitor your tire pressure to make sure it is where it should be.
Stick to the Speed Limit
Most cars have an optimum speed at which they’re fuel efficient, and it’s usually around 90 km/h. Driving the highway, maintaining a steady speed, and sticking to the speed limit also helps you reduce frequent braking and accelerating.
Have Regular Tune-ups
A regular tune-up can help you ensure that your car is running as it should be and using fuel efficiently. This can also save you from expensive emergency repairs down the road.
Track Gas Prices
Tracking prices can help you gauge the least expensive times and locations for filling up, helping you save a few dollars at the pump.
Avoid Idling
Idling eats up fuel quickly, so if you can, try to avoid driving during high-traffic times such as during rush hour or in construction zones.
