10 Ways to improve fuel efficiency

Minor changes to driving habits can reduce gas consumption. Here are some tips from General Motors Canada:

1-Pump up: Tires that are under-inflated can increase your vehicle's fuel consumption by up to four per cent. Properly inflated tires last longer and improve your fuel efficiency. It is important to measure the inflation level of your tires once a month, preferably when they are cold.

2 -Reduce your speed: You will use 20 per cent less fuel just by reducing your speed from 120 km/h to 100 km/h.

3 -Plan your trips: Going to soccer practice? Need to go grocery shopping? Try combining separate tasks into one trip. Taking short trips (less than five kilometres) can burn more fuel because your vehicle doesn't reach its most efficient operating temperature and you'll drive more kilometres on separate trips, increasing fuel costs and vehicle wear and tear.

4 -Cruise control: By using cruise control when conditions are suitable, you can help maximize your fuel efficiency by maintaining the speed limit.

5 -Chill out: Hard acceleration: hard stops and aggressive driving can increase your fuel consumption by up to 39 per cent....read more
