Don’t over speed!
While the sensation and the rush of adrenaline is very much enjoyable, over speeding while you drive will sharply increase fuel consumption and increases your chance of causing a road accident whereby endangering yourself and other road users!

Obstructing Objects
There is in some instances, objects such as flags, unused canopy, carriers and many other kinds of equipment can be found on the roofs of vehicles. Unless you have the need to utilise it, take it off. These objects will increase the carrying burden on you car and therefore need more fuel power to operate the vehicle. It is also a speed hindrance to your vehicles.

Avoid constant short braking
Take caution that you do not constantly put your feet at the brake pedal as a rest pad. This will wear down the brake pads of your car and cause unnecessary pressure to the driver behind your vehicle!

Under inflated tyres run steadily but higher fuel consumption
Some vehicle owners would under-inflate their tyres so that they can enjoy a smoother drive. But, the truth is under-inflated tyres would increase fuel consumption because of less gripping power on the roads due to low pressure. And very often, large tyres with a large tread protector will not favour in fuel economy because these tyres requires a large gripping area and an expanded friction that becomes a burden on the engine to increase power. The huge consumption of fuel can be felt during constant short running and idling of the vehicle (E.g. traffic jams).
