Fuel saving best practices

Looking for a fuel saving car?

Keeping your Petrol at optimum consumption level is much better for your pocket and also for our environment.

Little things which we can take note on a regular basis.

1. Workshop

• Find experienced mechanic to be in safe hands to handle your car.
• Find workshop with the latest service bay tools and technology.

2. Maintenance

• Keep good shape with regular tune up and check the on-board computer.
• Check air-condition, spark plug, timing belt, hose and filter.
• Inspect air filter more frequently if drove on dirty roads or lot of stop-and-go driving.
• Use car manufacturer’s recommended engine oil.

3. Gas station

• Fill up with your vehicle’s recommended fuel type.
• Top-up fuel tank with needed fuel only to avoid having a full tank on excess weight.
• Inflate tyres to the correct pressure.
• Use fuel additive for petrol engine.

4. Driving habits

• Drive on freeway at 80-90km/h.
• Apply accelerator and brake moderately.
• Drive manual car on the lowest RPM gear.
• Do not coast or roll downhill out of gear.
• Use engine stop-start or put on neutral gear instead of keeping foot on the clutch when stop at traffic lights.
• Avoid idling. Turn off engine if not moving as warm-up is not necessary for fuel-injected cars.

5. Good practices

• Plan ahead to avoid rush hour.
• Remove excess weight (especially on smaller or lighter cars) such as roof rack, sports equipment, toys, rubbish.
• Open windows at low speeds, and turn on air-condition on the motorway.
• Take advantage of vouchers and cashback credit cards.
• Carpool.
• Note down your fuel consumption.
