Quick and Easy Tips on Maintaining Your Car’s Fuel Efficiency for Years to Come
Who doesn’t enjoy saving money? By making your car’s maintenance a top priority, you’ll end up saving when it comes to refuelling and daily running costs. A well-maintained car is an efficient one, after all.
Whether you own a new car or an older one, here are Volkswagen’s top tips for maintaining your car’s fuel efficiency for many years to come:
- If your vehicle has cruise control, use it –When you maintain a constant speed while driving on the open road or in free-flowing traffic, you’ll usually enjoy improved fuel economy
- Keep your air filters clean – Did you know that by simply replacing your car’s dirty air filter, you can improve its acceleration time by roughly 6-11%? Volkswagen’s genuine air filters are designed to help protect your car’s engine from various pollutants found in the air, such as dirt and debris.
- Keep your drive smooth – Research has found that frequent speeding, rapid braking and heavy acceleration can decrease your vehicle’s fuel consumption by 5% while driving at lower speeds, such as in town, and by 33% while driving on the highway. Keep this in mind when you set off on your next road trip.
- Keep your vehicle free of excess weight – It may be time to spring-clean your car. If you’re lugging around a lot of unnecessary items, your car will have to work a lot harder than necessary. Remove any excess cargo you don’t need daily from both your boot and cabin.
- Maintain the right tyre pressure Both over- and under-inflated tyres can influence your vehicle’s fuel economy. By ensuring your vehicle’s tyres maintain the correct pressure, you can improve your fuel efficiency by around 3.3%.
- Make engine maintenance a top priority – It’s crucial that you keep a close eye on your vehicle’s engine. Be sure to keep up to date with your regular service and maintenance schedule or get any problems fixed as soon as possible to avoid sustaining lasting damage. A vehicle that’s failed its emissions test or requires a tune-up can improve its fuel efficiency by an average of 4% after having the issue(s) taken care of.
- Organise your trips – Plan out your day to ensure you get and do everything in a single trip. A warm-running engine is an efficient engine.
- Refrain from speeding – Fuel efficiency usually decreases when driving at high speeds.
- Stop idling – Everyone hates buffer to buffer traffic jams. In the event you find yourself stuck in one, keep in mind that you get 0 km/l when idling.
- Volkswagen drivers: invest in VW Synthetic Oil – By investing in the right oil for your car, you can improve your fuel economy by 1-2%. Regular oil changes can help you extend your motor’s life. Enquire with your nearest CFAO Volkswagen dealer to find out more about the right oil for your Volkswagen.
