Fuel Saver Central

Buying a new or used car can be exciting and there are lots of options to consider.

Choosing a fuel-efficient car can save you thousands of dollars in petrol costs. It will also greatly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions you generate when driving.

SMART DRIVING TIPS

1. Drive Smoothly - Aggressive driving can use as much as a third more fuel compared to conservative driving.
2. Use Higher Gears - The higher the gear, the lower the engine speed.
3. Tune and Service the Engine - A well tuned engine can improve fuel economy by up to four percent.
4. Keep the Tyres at the Correct Pressure - Correctly inflated tyres are safer and last longer, and reduce the amount of energy required to keep rolling.
5. Avoid Carrying Excess Weight - For every extra 45 kilograms (100 pounds) carried in a vehicle, the fuel efficiency can drop by two percent
