How to conserve Fuel On the Road
- Practise car‑pooling and use public transport.
- Plan your trips and avoid stop-and‑go traffic.
- Have good braking habits as stopand‑go driving wastes fuel.
- Use clutch only when changing gears to prevent loss of energy and clutch lining damage
- Maintain a steady cruising speed
- Do not overfill your petrol tanks as fuel will be wasted through evaporation and spillage.
- Check and service your car regularly.
- Clean air filter regularly to avoid rapid wear of engine components and higher fuel consumption.
- Use correct gears as incorrect shifting can lead to as much as 20% increase in fuel use.
- Check your tyres ‑ under‑inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel use.
