Simple ways to get better fuel efficiency without you having to be adept at the mechanics that power your car so that you can drive past the fuel pump more often than you stop there.

1. DRIVE WITH OPTIMAL TYRE PRESSURE
Driving with optimal tyre pressure greatly affects your car’s fuel efficiency. Reduced tyre pressure means increased contact area between the tyre and the road.

As a result, friction between the tire’s rubber and the road increases, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Over-inflated tyres will mean lower consumption but at the cost of grip and ability to disperse water on the road.

Make sure the tyres are inflated at the manufacturer’s recommended levels and you’ll be fine. And don’t forget to check them once a week, always in the morning.

2. SMOOTH OPERATOR
Be as smooth as possible with the car’s controls. Treat the accelerator and the brake pedals with respect.

Rough speedy acceleration and sudden brakes might be more fun on the road but harm your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

3. CONSOLIDATE TRIPS
Two short trips will inevitably consume more fuel than one that is slightly longer. This is because your car consumes extra fuel each time you crank the engine.

Combine as many trips as possible to keep fuel efficiency high. As a bonus, you’ll also be saving on traveling time.

4. CAR’S FUEL EFFICIENCY
A car’s fuel efficiency has a lot to do with how its parts air on the move. In other words, aerodynamics.

Open windows, even partly, at high speeds can impact fuel efficiency and result in the tank draining out quicker due to increased drag.

Contrary to popular notion, you’ll save more fuel with the windows up and the air conditioner turned on.

5. TIMELY SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Getting the car serviced on time, preferably with a reliable agency or mechanic, should take care of all else. However, if you are taking the car to a private garage, make sure they tick the following boxes during the service:

• Oil and Filter change and lube
• Belts and Hoses
• Engine Air Filter
• Cabin Filter
• Differential, Manual Transmission and Transfer Case (if equipped)
• Windshield Washer Fluid
• Fuel Filter
• Automatic Transmission Fluid
• Power Steering Fluid
• Battery and Cables
• Timing Belt
• Brake Service
• Tire rotation
