Fuel Tips
Take it steady: Reduce fuel consumption by cutting speed.
Pressure point: Inflate tyres to manufacturers recommended levels. This reduces friction by reducing the contact area of your tyre to the road, helping to achieve a slightly improved fuel mileage.
Plan your route: Avoid busy roads, heavy traffic, traffic lights and getting lost by advance route planning. The shortest route is not always the most fuel efficient if you have to stop a lot.

Remove excess weight: Leave unnecessary tools and excess weight at home.
Brake correctly: A car consumes most fuel as it accelerates. Keep the ride smooth, anticipate traffic and apply slow steady acceleration and braking to increase fuel economy by as much as 20 per cent.
Cruise Control: is recommended in steady traffic conditions. Keeping a constant speed helps save fuel.
Shift into neutral: when standing still to reduce transmission strain and cool off the transmission.
Service your vehicle regularly: Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.
