Top Tips for Fuel Efficient Driving

  • Drive smoothly. Harsh braking and fast starts will use up to 60% more petrol.
  • Use top gear as soon as possible - lower gears can use up to 50% more fuel.
  • The faster you go the more fuel you use. 55-65 mph is the most economic speed range for fuel consumption.
  • Switch Off the engine in heavy traffic if you are stopped for any length of time.
  • Ensure your tyres are not under inflated.
  • Share your journey where possible.
  • Leave your car in the garage.
  • Check wheel alignment and brakes.
