someoneyouknowHow to Cut Fuel Bills
Accelerate gently – it’s a fact, aggressive driving increases petrol consumption
Avoid excessive speeds – again, this is a follow on from points 1 and 2. Think about it as if you were running. Running really fast and sprinting will use more energy than a light walk
Avoid lengthy idling – this should be common sense. If you are waiting for someone, turn off your engine! Saves the environment too
Don’t drive unnecessarily – walk, take a bike..get some exercise =)
Keep your car well maintained – A well maintained car will use less petrol. I go back to analogy of a human. If you are healthy and fit, you tend to have more energy in you
Keep tyres properly inflated – a key point! Underinflated tyres can have drastic effects on fuel consumption.
Use the air-conditioner sparingly – although there is a loophole. The A/C zaps your car’s energy and thus needs to produce more and uses up fuel consumption. Solution? Use your windows. BUT! At speeds over 80kmh, the aerodynamic benefits from your car outweigh the A/C usage.
Minimise wind resistance – wind up your windows when traveling if you don’t need to
Hope these tips help save you a dollar or 2. Safe driving!
