  • Check Tire Pressure: If your tire is not inflatted it can drag your car reducing the fual efficiency. In fact you can improve the efficiency by increasing the tire pressure by 1 or 2 point than manufacturer recommented rate. Check your car manual for the recommented tire pressure.

  • Check and replace your air filter : Your car engine needs freah air to run properly. Poor air intake can reduce the efficiency.

  • Watch your road : If you accelerate to speed then have to brake right away, that's wasted fuel.
