Best Fuel Consumption Tips

1)  Use your gears wisely
2)  Avoid revving the engine unnecessarily
3)  When taking a short trip, choose to walk or cycle/use Public  Transportation
4)  Regularly Check tyre pressure
5)  Drive slower - and smoother 
6)   Plan your journey to save fuel
7)   Don't idle for more than 30 seconds
8)   Maintain your vehicle
9)   Switch off your vehicle's engine at Red light crossings
10) Invest in a new fuel efficient car
11) Use airconditioning sparingly
     Airconditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating. However, at speeds of over 80 km/h, use of airconditioning is better for fuel consumption than an open window as this creates aerodynamic drag. If it is hotter inside your car than outside when you start a trip, drive with the       windows down for a few minutes to help cool the car before starting the     airconditioning.
