5 ways to save fuel for cars

1. Limit the habit of accelerating and braking suddenly

In fact, the habit of “heavy acceleration” and frequent hard braking will burn a lot of gasoline. Every time you brake hard, the car loses momentum, forcing the driver to accelerate harder to regain speed. Get into the habit of accelerating and braking gently.

2. Use cruise control to maintain a steady speed

When driving on long, flat roads, use cruise control. This feature helps maintain a steady speed, which reduces fuel consumption. However, drivers should be aware that when going downhill, the car's RPMs ("Revolutions Per Minute" - a unit of measurement of a car's engine) can increase and burn more gas.

3. Avoid leaving the car idling for too long.

If you have to stop for a long period of time, consider turning off the engine. This will save fuel and reduce emissions, even if the stop is as short as 10 seconds.

4. Limit lowering windows or using air conditioning unnecessarily

Over-running the air conditioner can reduce fuel economy by up to 25%. Notably, rolling down the windows can also increase fuel consumption by about 9% at high speeds due to increased air resistance. In addition, improper tire pressure is also a cause of fuel waste.

5. Pay attention to where and when you fill up your gas tank.

Car users should fill up their gas tanks early in the morning or when it's cool so the gas doesn't evaporate quickly, which is more economical than filling up when the outside temperature is quite high in hot weather.
