Introduction There are many ways you can spend less money on fuel and reduce your overall consumption. The following tips can come in handy for you.
Check the air filter A clogged air filter can bog down your gas mileage in the worst possible way. So check whether it is clean or not. A clean filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10%.
Fill up efficiently Consider whether you should go for a full or a half tank fill-up. Filling up your tank halfway may result in a slight increase of your gas mileage. Also, DO NOT top up your tank between fills. It will result in wastage of fuel and money.
Align your tyres Poor tyre alignment is detrimental to both your tyres and your engine (because it forces your engine to work harder). Align your tyres in the right way and save more than 10% on your fuel cost.
Tune up Tune up your engine periodically to improve its fuel efficiency. A properly maintained engine can improve fuel efficiency by up to 4% in comparison to the way it was before.
DON’T drive on deflated tyres Plenty of vehicles are driving on deflated tyres, or at a pressure that’s well below the recommended Psi level. A deflated tyre can cause a 2.8% loss in fuel efficiency. So pump them up to the right pressure and go on the drive. You’ll be doing both your pocket and the environment a favor as a result of the same.
