CMH Datsun Sandton understands how fuel increases can put our customers under financial pressure in this tough economic climate. We thought the following fuel-saving tips may come in handy.
- Check your tyre pressure every two weeks
Checking your tyre pressure regularly will reduce rolling resistance and improve your car’s fuel consumption.
- Do not let your car idle for more than one minute
Many of us were taught to let a car idle for a few minutes before driving it. Letting your car idle wastes fuel and causes other types of pollution, it is better to turn your engine off and start it again than to leave it idling. - Use cruise control if you have one
Each time you step on the accelerator it consumes more fuel whereas using cruise control will keep the vehicle moving without stepping on the gas pedal and keep the vehicle moving at a set speed. - Join a lift club to travel to work
Everyone who commutes daily to work feel the pinch whenever there is a fuel price increase. The more people you have in your car the less you pay for fuel, you can split the bill on fuel.
- Have your car serviced regularly to ensure it is in good working condition
Not only does servicing your car save you money, getting new oil and filters will make your engine run smoothly and fuel-efficient. If you one day decide to sell your car, it has the potential to attract more buyers because of the service history.
