Fuel efficiency is key to cost-effective driving and these simple yet effective tips to increase your car’s mileage can help you get the most out of every litre of fuel.
Under-inflated tyres create more resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Check your tyre pressure regularly and keep it at the manufacturer’s recommended levels.
Aggressive driving with sudden acceleration and braking burns more fuel. Adopt a steady driving style to not only save fuel but also reduce wear and tear on your car.
Add-ons like roof carrier and spoilers may look stylish but increase aerodynamic drag. Removing these can improve fuel efficiency, especially at highway speeds.
Excess weight increases fuel consumption. Clear out unnecessary items from your car, especially heavy luggage and accessories that you don’t need.
Upgrading to larger tyres or heavy alloys can reduce fuel efficiency due to increased weight and rolling resistance. Stick to manufacturer-recommended sizes, and opt for low-rolling-resistance tyres for better mileage.
A well-maintained engine runs more efficiently. Regular servicing, timely oil changes and clean air filters ensure that your car delivers optimum mileage.
