- Fill the fuel at a time when the early morning or at a time when the cold temperatures. This is because it has more capacity of liquid fuel in the cold weather than during hot weather because a lot of gas vapours.
- Fill the fuel slowly so that liquid fuel can be fully retracted into the tank and reduce the phenomenon of free volatile gasoline vapours and waste your gas.
- During a half-full tank, fill the fuel. This is because the more the remaining gasoline in the tank will reduce the capacity of the air space, thus you get more fuel in the tank.
- Reduce the load weight. Do not carry unnecessary items. Each additional 50 kg weight will increase fuel consumption by 2%.
- Check your tire pressure. Not enough air pressure will add 5% excess fuel consumption due to friction.
- Good maintenance. Poor engine tuning increase oil consumption by over 50%. Periodically check the condition of the spark plugs, fan belt and air filter.
- Speed - Even slower you drive, the more fuel-efficient used, but be able to avoid traffic summons. Driving more than 55 mph will increase fuel consumption significantly.
- If the car is not moving, turn off the engine if just waiting for someone. Avoid pressing the accelerator pedal if the car is not moving.
- Use of Gear - Choose the right gear with speed. Use low gear for high speed causing waste gas as engine rpm increases. Use economic mode if your car is equipped with.
- Brakes - If you already know where to stop, slow down your car gradually. Avoid sudden braking.
- Planning - Plan your trip to avoid traffic congestion. This saves time, money and avoids stress. You can also arrange your trip in order to maximize the purpose in a way. Examples from work can stop buying things, refuelling and so on. So there's no need to go out again and again.
- No need to turn on the air conditioner when the weather cools off, or turn off the air conditioner when was about to reach the destination. Fuel consumption increased by 10% when using the air conditioner.
- Make sure the car is not fully open windows while driving. Otherwise your car will increase friction and slow because you have to press more accelerator pedal to move.
- Warming up your engine for at least 30 seconds after the engine is turned on. No need to press the accelerator pedal while warming up because it is just a waste of fuel only.
- While the vehicle to start moving, press the accelerator pedal gently. Rapid acceleration causes the engine rotating speed in low gear thereby increasing fuel consumption.
