How to Save Money on Petrol?

Driving can be one of life’s great pleasures
but it needn’t break the bank. If your car’s beginning to put a strain on your wallet, consider these :


1. keep your tyres inflated
Lower tyre pressure increases the drag on a car meaning you need more fuel, so regularly check the pressures are correct and your car need less mph to keep it moving.


2. Lighten the load
The lighter your car is, the less effort it needs to accelerate. Therefore, reduce the  weight of your car by taking out, clearing out junk from the boot and not carrying unnecessary weight, you can make extra savings.


3. Turn off the air-cond
Air conditioning also uses an incredible amount of fuel, so make sure it's turned off unless you really need it. However, if it's really hot, it can become a more efective proposition - driving with windows closed is more economical than having them all open, due to the extra drag it causes.


Also, don't keep the engine running. It drive off as soon as you start up and switch off the engine as soon as you reach your destination. However, if you're not using it, it's worth it on once in a while as not using it can mean it stops working.


4. Accelerate gradually without over-revving
Speed up smoothly! When you press harder on the pedal more fuel flows, but you could get to the same speed using much less power - a good rule is to stay under 3,000 revs.


5. Drive in correct gear
If you using manuar car, always srive in the highest gear possible without labouring the engine.


6. Slow Naturally
Rather than brake all the time, let your car slow naturally and use its stored momentum


7. Keep your car maintained and tuned
