  1. 1. Drive at max. 90 km/hr 2. Use Mass Transit instead of Private Cars Driving Speed Compared with Speed More Oil Used 95 km/hr 80 km/hr 15% 110 km/hr 80 km/hr 29% 100 km/hr 90 km/hr 10% 110 km/hr 90 km/hr 25% 10 Tips on OIL Saving • Max. speed limits by law: • Ordinary route 90 km/hr • Expressway 110 km/hr • Motorway 120 km/hr • If 1% of 5 million car users switch to use public fleet services to travel 48 km/day, in 1 year (260 working days), 52 million litres of oil could be saved, worth 780 million baht.

  2. 3. Turn Off the Engine while Parking 4. Car Pool • If 5 cars are used to travel 48 km/car (round trip) in the same direction to destinations near each other, 5,200 litres of oil will be wasted in 1 year (260 working days), worth 78,000 baht. • If 1% of 5 million cars manage the use of Car Pool, taking turn to drive 5 passengers/1 car, 41.6 million litres of oil could be saved in 1 year, worth 624 million baht. • Leaving the engine run idle for 5 minutes will waste 500 cc of oil.

  3. If merely 1% of 5 million cars get stuck in traffic jam every working day and on some weekends, in 1 year (330 days/year), 12.4 million litres of oil will be wasted, worth 186 million baht 6.Use Telephone/Fax to avoid getting caught in the traffic 5. Avoid the Rush Hour • Use telecommunication devices instead of travelling on the road to send documents between offices, for example. • If urgent, use fax machines. • For important documents, try to send in a batch with other documents. • For regular circulars, use e-mail or postal services.

  4. 7. Study the Route before Travelling 8.Ensure Proper Tyre Pressure and Clean Air Filter • Daily driving for 48 km on average in 1 month with tyre pressure 1 lb./sq. inch less than the standards will cause extra oil consumption: • Cars 2.4 litres extra • Motorcycles 1.2 litres extra • Trucks 4.2 litres extra • If 30% of each vehicle type often ignore this tip for accumulative 30 days/year, an extra of 5.8 million litres of oil will be consumed, worth 87 million baht. • A clean air-filter helps save 65 cc of oil per day • Need cleaning every 2,500 km. • Change every 20,000 km. • Getting lost on your way for 10 minutes will waste 500 cc of oil, worth 7.50 baht. • If 5 million cars get lost on their way once a month on average in 1 year, 30 million litres of oil will be wasted, worth 450 million baht.

  5. 9. Avoid Unnecessary Load 10. Check the Engine Regularly • Driving with about 10 kg of unnecessary load for a distance of 25 km. will waste 40 cc of oil. • If 10% of 5 million cars nationwide carry unnecessary load while driving, 7.3 million litres of oil will be wasted in 1 year, worth 10.95 million baht. • Change the air filter as scheduled. • Change the lube oil every 5,000 km. • Check the level of engine oil and water in the battery. • Check the level of cooling water. • Tune up the engine to maintain efficiency; this will help save 3-9% of oil.
