1. Maintain Optimal Tyre Pressure Constantly
Your car’s tyres are the only point of contact with the road, and they play a massive role in fuel consumption. Driving with under-inflated tyres increases the rolling resistance. This means the engine has to work twice as hard and burn more fuel just to push the car forward.
- The Solution: Check your tyre pressure at least once every two weeks when the tyres are cold. Always adhere to the recommended PSI level specified by the manufacturer (usually found on a sticker on the driver-side door pillar). Keeping the tyres correctly inflated can instantly boost your efficiency by 3%.
2. Master the Art of Smooth and Linear Acceleration
Aggressive driving, sudden acceleration, and hard braking are the absolute enemies of fuel economy. When you slam on the gas pedal, the engine pumps an excessive amount of fuel into the cylinders to generate instant power, leading to heavy fuel wastage.
