1. Switch off window and mirror heating in good time
Of course you need your window and mirror heaters to have good visibility when it is freezing. But many motorists forget to turn them off when the car is up to temperature. However, you use up to 5% more fuel this way.
2. Wash your car regularly
Road salt and brine quickly make your car dirty in winter. A clean car reduces air resistance and consumes less fuel.
3. Park under cover
Park indoors as much as possible, preferably in a garage. This is because it is better for air resistance and generally protects your car better from winter weather conditions.
4. Check your tyre pressure regularly
Low temperatures can cause your tyre pressure to drop below the recommended pressure more quickly. When the pressure is 0.5 bar lower than recommended, 2-5% more fuel is consumed. So worth checking extra regularly.
