Fuel economy is defined as drivers getting the most amount of distance per litre of fuel. Here are some useful tips on how to improve fuel economy and save money on fuel.

1. Drive within the Speed Limit
Different car makes have their optimum speed set at unique levels. This means that going above this limit would lead to higher petrol consumption. To be on the safe side, observe the speed limit. This will save straining your car’s performance levels, save your money and save lives. An all round positive.

2. Prudent Driving
Divers in Nigeria are generally offensive and defensive. Offensive driving includes a lot of aggression such as rapid acceleration and braking which wastes petrol. Sensible driving is also safer for the driver and others, so you may save more than petrol money.


3. Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 45 kg in your vehicle could reduce your fuel economy by as much as 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.


4. Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling can use 1-2 litres of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Turn off the engine when the vehicle is parked. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart the vehicle. Turning your engine on and off excessively, however, may increase starter wear.



5. Travel smart
Consider using public transport if it is more convenient for you. Combining errands into one trip saves you time and money. Planning ensures that travelling is done when the engine is warmed-up and efficient, and it can reduce the distance you travel. Take advantage of carpooling and ride-share programs. You can cut your weekly petrol costs in half and save wear on your car if you take turns driving with other people. This is also a way to contribute to reducing pollution as there will be fewer cars on the road.

6. Tip Top vehicle condition
It goes without saying, if your vehicle is well maintained, tire pressure checked and are at optimum pressures and conditions, your car will run more efficiently and use less fuel.


7. The right vehicle

This tip is worth mentioning but if you already have the wrong car, there isn’t much you can do about it. So, if you have a large SUV and 90% of the time you are driving through Alimosho local government, you are in the wrong car, you are going to use more petrol than you would if you have a small Vitz for example for the same task. So hopefully you purchased the right vehicle for your needs and pockets.
