No doubt, fuel prices in Nigeria have steadily been climbing since the introduction of automobile vehicles, however, with the current increment to a national average of NGN 145 per litre, the fuel scarcity is on another level and there is a need to find ways to save money.

Despite the ongoing kobo-pinching trend, you cannot stop driving: you
depend on your vehicle to get to work, pick up the kids, and maybe attend
those mandatory anger management classes. This means you have to change a
few bad habits and increase your personal fuel efficiency in order to save
money at the pump.

Drive sensibly

With the situation of the country at the moment, the fuel economy is
directly proportionate to how hard you accelerate and how steady you are on
the gas pedal. Try not to drive too aggressively or too carelessly, and
also, observe speed limits. Driving aggressively can lower gas mileage on
the highway and aside from that, it can attract law enforcement agents and
you will have to waste fuel while trying to explain your way out of their
grip. Again, while each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a
different speed, it is important that you try not to drive above 50 mph as
with almost every vehicle, gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds
above 50 mph.
