Fuel Consumption

We all know in reality, that driving more sensibly will improve the fuel consumption of the vehicle. Driving at a constant speed with fewer gear changes makes motorways the most fuel efficient place to drive. It is estimated that with actual driving changes you could save up to 10% on fuel costs alone.

In addition, the following two suggestions will save around 10%

1. Turn off the air conditioning unless you really need it. Air conditioning uses as much as 8% more
    fuel, although having a single window open can also increase fuel consumption by around 3%

2. Taking the roof rack off a car when not needed will decrease overall fuel consumption by around
    2%
