• De-clutter your car; the lighter your car is, the less effort it needs to make to accelerate.
• Remove your roof rack; if you’re not using it, as it increases the drag and makes the engine work harder.
• Turn off the air con; this could improve your fuel efficiency by 8%.
• Don’t fill the tank; Keep the weight of your car down by only filling up to ½ or ¾ full.
