Driving Tips

Drive at the speed limit. In most vehicles, you will achieve optimal fuel economy between 45 mph and 60 mph.
Drive at a consistent speed.
Brake and accelerate gradually and consistently.
Avoid queuing traffic and the rush hour.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal.
Use the cruise control.
Turn your vehicle off instead of idling for temporary stops.
Combine small trips into one longer trip with multiple stops.
Turn off the air conditioning and open your windows, unless you are travelling at high speeds on the motorway.
Tighten your petrol cap.
Park in the shade or in the garage.
Unload excess weight. Remove unnecessary items from your vehicle.
Avoid carrying items on your roof. Remove rooftop carriers and removable racks when not in use.
Maintain the recommended tyre pressure. Check the tyre pressure regularly and before long trips.
Keep your vehicle well-tuned, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance intervals.
Change your oil, oil filters, and air filters regularly.
Use the lowest recommended suitable grade of fuel. Use biofuels when feasible, such as E85 and biodiesel.
