  • Drive smoothly – harsh braking and accelerating can use up to 60% more fuel
  • Change gear efficiently – changing gear at 1,500-2,500 rpm can save up to 15% on fuel
  • Concentrate – anticipating road conditions and other drivers actions will make you drive more smoothly
  • Don’t rev – this wastes fuel and increases harmful emissions
  • Limit your speed – the faster you drive, the more fuel you use
  • Plan your journey – avoid peak times and road works – you will enjoy the trip more and use less fuel
  • Traffic jams – turn off the engine if you are stuck in a long delay
  • Keep your cool – using air vents rather than open windows reduces fuel consumption by 4%, while air conditioning increases fuel usage
