Few Tips to Save Petrol..

1. Drive slow at a constant speed and avoid sudden acceleration, which increase the fuel consumption.

2. Do not apply the brakes frequently. This not only keeps the vehicle in good condition, it also helps you save fuel.

3. Always switch off the engine while waiting for the light to turn green. Waiting with the engine on for more than a minute means more fuel consumption. Comparatively, the engine uses lesser fuel to restart.

4. Don't overload the vehicle. The heavier the vehicle, the more fuel it will consume.

5. You must maintain the engine in good condition. A bad engine can cut the vehicle's mileage by as much as 20 per cent. The spark plugs must be checked regulary. The engine oil should be checked and used according to the manual specifications. Make sure air filters are clean.

6. Change the lubricant at regular intervals. Use only branded oil recommended by the manufacturer. It is also advisable to use an engine flush before changing the oil to remove dirt in the engine.

7. It is always better to be in neutral and use the brakes rather than using the clutch and accelerator when you want to halt for a little while.

8. Apply clutch at appropriate times while driving, inefficient use of handling clutch leads to more fuel consumption. Use the clutch carefully only when changing gears.

9. Always ensure the tyres have the right amount of pressure. A good inflated tyre makes your drive smooth, safe and efficient.

10. Also be very careful about changing gears. A higher gear at low speed and vice versa will lead to loss of more fuel. You must shift gears carefully and according to the desired speed. This will cause less strain on your engine.

11. Plan your routes very carefully. Sometimes taking a longer route helps as you may be caught in a traffic jam in the shorter route. Also plan your trip in such a manner that you can get several things done in one trip.

12. Don't take vehicles to nearby places or travel destinations. It always uses more fuel on short distances. Walking is good for your health as well!
