[QUOTE="sakuraguy, post: 2728416, member: 6441"] [B]Save Petrol - Fuel[/B] Today’s about fuel prices? It is more important than ever to make sure that you are getting the most mileage for your money. There are several simple, easy and inexpensive methods that you could save fuel: - 1. Use synthetic engine oil. It helps to reduce engine friction and can improve fuel mileage. 2. Add fuel injection cleaner at every oil change to keep injector clean and spraying properly, that will create better combustion and deliver maximum power to the vehicle. 3. Consider installing window film (Tinted), it can reduce cabin temperature by as much as 10-20 degrees or more. Therefore, dramatically reducing the air conditioning that consumes additional fuel. (Please used the Government Approved Window Film) 4. Running your vehicles without air conditioner can reduce fuel. 5. Plan your trips. The fewer trips you have plan, the more fuel you will save. 6. Traveling speed at 80-100 Km/h produces up to 10-20% better mileage when compared to speed of 110-130 Km/h each. (Please follow the legal speed limit) 7. Go for regular services and tune ups. This is to ensure the best fuel economy. Check the owner’s manual for recommended maintenance services. 8. Make sure you check your tyre pressures every week because low tyre pressure can reduce mileage by as much as 10%-20%. 9. Use Air Conditioner sparingly, Air conditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating and is a super drain on your engine's efficiency, so don't use it unless you really need it. 10. Strut tower/anti-sway bars, install strut tower and anti-sway bars. They increase control, which allows you to corner without loosing speed - which makes it easier on the brakes and requires less gas to accelerate. 11. Avoid Jack Rabbit Start, eliminate jack rabbit starts (sudden acceleration from idle). It wastes fuel. Accelerate slowly when starting from dead stop. Don't push pedal down more than 1/4 of the total foot travel. 12. Clutch and Accelerator play, don’t manipulate the clutch and accelerator to stay stationary because it wastes fuel. Use handbrake instead. 13. Shut your windows, Shutting all your car windows while driving will make your car more aerodynamic. This will improve your car's fuel efficiency. Driving with them open drastically reduces your fuel efficiency, far more so than putting the air conditioning on when motorway driving.
