Ways to reduce fuel consumption

1) Avoid thick tyres
Tyres which are thicker will improve the handling and manoeuvrability of your car. However, it will also increase your car's fuel consumption. Thicker tyres mean more rolling resistance! , and thus will consume more fuel.

2) Warm up the engine correctly
With today's high technology cars, it is not necessary to rev the engine first by pumping the accelerator pedal repeatedly. Do not crank the engine excessively This only wastes fuel. When starting the engine, idle it no more than 30 seconds to warm it up. An engine will warm up faster on the road. However,avoid sudden acceleration before the engine has warmed up sufficiently.

3) Use high gear when driving (overdrive)
The engine is most efficient between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. To maintain these low revs you should change up through the gears before the revs reach 2500 rpm.
For automatic transmission cars, you should always switch on your overdrive to help save fuel. Overdrive will permit your engine to change gears at lower revs. It also puts your transmission into a more economical mode and lets it engage the final "overdrive" gear when cruising to ! keep the rpms extra low, thereby increasing fuel economy.
