1 - Check your tires


Under-inflated tires can impact the vehicle's fuel economy. When tires aren't inflated properly, it's similar to driving with the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon.

2 - Clean your air filter




Dirty air filters can also waste gas and cause the engine to lose power. An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and bugs chokes off the air and creates a "rich" mixture, which is too much gas being burned for the amount of air. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve fuel mileage by as much as 10 percent.

3 - Spark plugs checkup



Worn or dirty spark plugs can cause misfiring, which wastes fuel. Vehicles can have four, six or eight spark plugs that fire as many as three million times every 500 kilometers, resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. Spark plugs that are replaced per the owner's manual will lead to a better performing vehicle.

4 - Check that cap


Vehicle fuel caps that are damaged, loose or missing altogether waste gas. According to the council, about 17 percent of the vehicles on the road have gas cap problems, causing 147 million gallons of fuel to vaporize every year.

5 - Basic care helps


"When fuel prices soar, many motorists hunker down and don't take proper care of their vehicles," said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. "What they don't realize is that they can save at the pump by simply checking the tires, air filters, spark plugs and vehicle gas caps. These items can make a significant difference in the vehicle's fuel economy and it takes very little time and money to check them."

6 - Keep calm


When it comes to driver behavior, the council reminds motorists that aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by as much as 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent on city streets.

7 - Drive within the speed limits


Staying within the speed limit also improves fuel economy. Fuel mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour (mph) or 100 kilometers per hour (kph).

8 - Don't idle excessively


Excessive idling wastes fuel and is unnecessary. A vehicle needs only one or two minutes to warm up. Motorists should also avoid jackrabbit starts and hard stopping; both make a car less fuel-efficient. Gradually stepping on the gas and gently applying the brakes will improve fuel efficiency.

9 - Pack light


Although traveling usually involves carrying luggage, motorists should try to limit any extra weight or unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 10 kg can cut fuel efficiency by 1 or 2 percent.

The greatest bane of fuel economy is bad roads which we unfortunately have no control over.

When you open the driver's door, it's on your door post. Each car has a recommended ideal tire pressure pasted on there
