Here are some of the tips to save fuel in your car.

- Avoid sudden acceleration and drive smoothly, it will give you maximum mileage. So be little smooth on your right leg.
- Do not drive with your leg on the clutch. It consumes more fuel and clutch plates also get worn out
- While stopping at a traffic signal, if the waiting time is more than one minute, switch off the engine.
- when driving above 80 or 90 kmph, its more fuel efficient to keep the windows closed and AC running, instead of AC off and windows open.
- Regularly engine maintenance is a must. It can change your fuel efficiency up-to 20%
- Use air conditioning only when you need it. It uses up-to 12% of extra fuel.
- Change engine oil and air filters as described in your car’s manual.
- Right pressures in all the tyres can also change your fuel efficiency. So make sure you have the pressure prescribed by the car company.
- When starting a cold engine (lets say in the morning), don’t go high speed for first 30 seconds. Let it get warmed up first.
- When driving at faster speeds, its always more fuel efficient to drive in highest gear.
