Driving in the highest gear possible without troubling the engine is a fuel-efficient way of driving. Use your gears wisely. A vehicle traveling at 37mph in third gear uses 25 percent more fuel than at the same speed in fifth gear. By applying light choke and avoiding heavy braking, we can reduce both fuel consumption and wear and tear of components. Research suggests driving techniques can influence car fuel efficiency by about 30 percent. Switching your engine off for short periods can actually increase fuel consumption, as it requires more fuel to get the engine started. The lighter the load, the lower the fuel consumption, emissions, and the higher the fuel efficiency. Worn tyres will also decrease fuel efficiency, so check the tread regularly. Driving with your windows open drastically reduces your fuel efficiency, more than running car with air conditioner. The air-conditioning decreases fuel efficiency too, so try not to over use it. Operating air conditioner in city traffic reduces fuel efficiency by about 9%. Choose an economical car, like small cars use as they are more fuel-efficient and produce lower emissions than large cars. Under inflated (filled) tyres can increase fuel consumption greatly.
