Regular maintenance of your vehicle

A well-maintained vehicle performs more efficiently and consumes less fuel. Check tyre pressure regularly, change air and fuel filters on time and have the engine properly tuned.

Moderate your speed

Maintaining a constant, moderate speed on the highway can contribute significantly to fuel efficiency. Reducing high speeds and using cruise control help save fuel by reducing drag.

Shift in time and anticipate

Learn the art of anticipatory driving. Avoid abrupt acceleration and braking manoeuvres by changing gears in time and anticipating traffic situations. A smooth driving style is not only safer but also saves fuel.

Use air conditioning wisely

Constant use of air conditioning can increase fuel consumption. Use air conditioning wisely and avoid opening windows at high speeds as this increases drag.

Opt for an economical driving style

Modern cars are often equipped with advanced driving assistance systems. Make use of fuel-efficient driving and eco settings if your car has these features.

Combine trips and avoid rush hours

Try to plan trips where you can combine multiple tasks and avoid rush hours if possible. This reduces the time you spend on the road and saves fuel.

Use premium fuel

While premium fuel is not always necessary, using premium fuel can sometimes lead to more efficient combustion, resulting in better fuel economy.

Invest in alternative means of transport.

Where possible, consider using alternative means of transport such as cycling, public transport or carpooling. This will not only help reduce fuel consumption, but also reduce CO2 emissions.

By observing these simple tips, you can not only start reducing your fuel consumption, but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of driving.
