3. Turn-off engine while on the park. While on park waiting for someone, turn off the car engine, because fuel is consumed during idle while the car is not moving from one place to another, plus its a safety to turn off the engine while at the park to avoid the risk of poisoning from harmful air.
4. Avoid stop and go driving. Avoid driving the car in sudden acceleration and sudden braking when stopping, this may not only saves fuel but also maximize the life of the tires.
5. Avoid clutch driving. Don’t rest your foot on the clutch as it will not only reduce mileage but also reduce the life of the clutch.
6. Do not rest your foot on the gas pedal. When the car is in cruising speed, step on the gas pedal just enough and not rest your foot on the pedal to avoid unnecessary burning of fuel.
7. Maintain speed. When driving at cruising speed try to maintain within the speed of 70 to 80 kph, as this is the economical speed range.
8. Shift to a higher gear. Lastly, shifting at higher gear on a lower speed can also help improve car mileage.
Just follow the correct driving habit and you will save on gas while driving your car.
