5 Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency of Your Car

When fuel prices are up on the roof, here are 5 effective ways to increase fuel efficiency

5. Make sure following are well maintained

• Spark plugs

• Air filters

• Oxygen sensors

• Fuel injection systems

• Tires

• Engine tune-up

4. Drive between 60 Kmph to 80 Kmph long distance 

At these speeds the fuel efficiency is at its maximum. When you over speed 100, friction forces kicks in and increase fuel consumption

3. Keep the RPM around 2500

For maximum fuel efficiency when driving the RPM should be kept around 2500

2. Accelerate and break steadily

Coast when possible. Use cruise control on the highways if possible

1. Small things matter

• Stop warming up your car. Not required for new vehicles

• Reduce unnecessary weights
