Worry no more, we have the solutions to your problems.
Here are fuel saving tips every driver needs to know;
1. Treat your car to some TLC
A car is a special machine that needs to be treated with kid's gloves. Cars tend to consume a lot of fuel when the engine oil has not been changed for quite sometimes. Always service your car as advised by the manufacturer.
On the same, check your tyre pressure regularly as it is reported that low tyre pressure automatically makes your car's engine consume a lot of fuel.
2. Make fewer trips
Usually, when you drive a car that has been parked for a few hours, the engine is cold and tends to consume more fuel for the first five miles.
If you really need to save your fuel, then avoid many trips. Combine all your trips into one trip to give your engine the chance to heat up and through this, your car won't consume a lot of fuel.
3. Don't overload. This is obvious and evident when you carry a lot of goods, you tend to use a lot of energy in transporting them from one point to another.
In the case of vehicles, heavy loads subject your car's engine to consume more fuel. Just carry the recommended size for the sake of saving your fuel.
4. Close the windows of your car while driving.
This is among the worst mistakes you can make in life. From a physical point of view, overspending while your car's windows are open can impact the aerodynamics and your fuel economy.
This usually makes your car more expensive to run hence consuming an immense amount of fuel.
