It's very important to pay attention to the small things that can make your vehicle run more efficiently as a way to save money, especially with factors like the rise in petrol prices coming into play. Below are a few tips that can be of significant benefit to your pocket as well as your car.
1. A good way to save money on your car is by keeping its engine properly serviced. If your car's engine isn't running efficiently, it can mean it burning up to 30% more fuel than one that is properly tuned. Follow your car manufacturer's guidelines for servicing your car.
2. Cars don't need 'warming up' any more, so only idle the engine at times when it's needed. Waiting outside a friend's house to pick them up isn't one of those times.
3. Another way to save fuel is to is to slow down. 20mp of your speed can mean as much as a 15% saving. Also try to use cruise control if your car has it. This will help avoid sudden acceleration and de-celaration, which can waste petrol.
4. Properly inflated tyres are important to keeping keeping you car fuel efficient. Make sure they are kept aligned too, which also helps your car handle better.
5. If you have a number of errends to run in your vehicle, try and doing them all in one trip, and if you can try and avoid going out at peak traffic times. Doing this will ensure that your car engine isn't idleing uneccessarily.
6. Car pooling is a really good method of conserving fuel. Perhaps you can share the driving with a work collegue when driving to you place of work. Or share the responsibility of picking up the kids from school or clubs with the other parents.
