Fuel costs, High Mileage, Efficient Engines, Smart Driving....Hypermiling - Save on fuel and improve your vehicles' fuel efficiency..How?
Let us discuss
* Regularly tune up your vehicle with the help of a good mechanic, parts to focus on - engine, air filter, tires, oil used, cooling system
* Try switching off the engine when you need to wait for few minutes at the traffic signal or a railway crossing
* Try not using the air conditioner whenever possible esp in the interior roads
* Using a sunshade/screen when parking your car also helps
* Try to avoid aggressive driving like accelerating fast or braking suddenly
* Plan your outdoor activities to avoid multiple trips and in turn ending up with more fuel spent (and ofcourse more time spent on such activities)
* Take off slowly from a full stop and try to slow down before coming to a stop
* Whenever possible try to have minimum load in the vehicle especially the trunk. Extra weight uses more fuel
* Try using credit cards with offers on them for fuel refilling
* Are the premium/high price fuels really as effective or could we go with the regular ones itself?
* Look out for fuel prices and try to fill the tank when the prices are low(er)
* & Finally whenever possible try walking or bicycling or using public transport or carpooling
