Tips for Improving Fuel Efficiency
z
Maintain correct tyre pressure; Under-inflated tyres
result in increased running resistance, leading to higher
fuel consumption.
z
Maintain proper front-wheel alignment; Improper front-
wheel alignment causes tyres to wear out faster and
exerts more load on the engine, leading to higher fuel
consumption.
z
Avoid driving with excess weight; Excess weight increases
load on the engine, leading to higher fuel consumption
z
Avoid excessive engine idling; It is advisable to switch
the engine OFF during prolonged waits at traffic signals,
railway crossings etc.
z
Avoid fast start and unnecessary stops; Avoid sudden
acceleration or deceleration
