Driving Tips
Here we would like to offer a few good ways for motorists to use gasoline more effectively and save money as well:
Keep your tires properly inflated
This improves gas mileage by about three percent and over a year you can save up to 76 litres of gasoline.
Clean out your trunk
Carrying an extra 100 pounds cuts a typical car's fuel economy by up to two percent, consuming about 45 litres of fuel a year.
Reduce your miles travelled
Plan your trips in advance and combine several errands into one trip. Consider carpooling, walking, biking or taking public transportation.
Avoid aggressive driving
Speeding, as well as rapid braking and accelerating, can reduce mileage by up to 33 percent at highway speeds.
Use motor oil recommended for your vehicle
This can improve gas mileage by one to two percent. The fuel grades offered at a typical retail station are 92-, 95-, and 97-Octane petrol. Octane value is an indication of the anti-knocking property of a certain type of petrol. The higher the octane value, the stronger will be the anti-knocking property. The grade of petrol to use will depend on the engine's compression ratio. The higher the compression ratio, the higher octane value will be required in the petrol used.
