How to reduce your fuel costs
It’s easy to reduce you overall fuel cost if you know how and in these difficult economic times when prizes at the fuel pumps seem to be on a steady increase, who wouldn’t want to save some money?
The obvious answer to saving cost on fuel is to use less of it but bar that one good advice is to choose wisely next time you’re in the market for a new vehicle. Consider what you are going to use the vehicle for and pick a car that suits your needs. Factor in where you will drive, how many miles you do and who or what you will transport. Make sure you pick a car that’s the right size for you and not one that have a performance or features you’ll hardly use. There’s no need for a Land Rover Discovery if your needs are better suited to a Vauxhall Corsa.
But if you’re not in the market for a new car, make sure to service the one you’ve got as cars are more efficient when they’re working perfectly. Poor service records can easily lead to reduced fuel economy as the car struggles to perform. If you can afford to take it to the dealership and get them to service it and use original parts Mitsubishi Servicing is one such option.
You should also make sure you have enough air in the tyres as underinflated tyres increases fuel consumption. You can also reduce fuel consumption by choosing more eco-friendly tyres that use special rubber which again provide lower rolling resistance.
Driving-wise if you plan your journey before you leave there’s less chance of getting lost and wasting fuel. It also means you can plan ahead to avoid potential traffic jams and lots of stop-start traffic.
Another fuel saving tip is to reduce drag by removing roof top boxes and closing the windows. It’s also clever to make the car as light as possible and get rid of any unnecessary clutter you might have in the boot or backseat.
Finally make sure you drive smoothly with less stop and start, make sure you use the right gear and don’t exceed the speed limit as driving at a lower speed can reduce your fuel consumption drastically.
