The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 31, 2006 - 27 Auto EVERYTHING Tips to save on fuel cost 1. Ask yourself: " Do I really need to drive? " It's the shortest journeys - less than two miles -, which cause the most pollution and are inefficient in terms of fuel consumption. A straining cold engine will produce 60 per cent more pollution than a warm one. Yet it's these shorter journeys that are ideal for walking or cycling. 2. Plan your route. A bit of forethought can save much wear and tear for the car and the driver. Try to take the most direct route and go off peak if possible. Sitting in congestion means you are often doing zero miles per gallon. If you have to commute by car, think about car sharing, Park and Ride schemes or public transport. 3. Have your vehicle serviced regularly. This helps maintain efficient running and good economy. Inefficient, under-serviced engines can reduce fuel economy by ten per cent or more. Catalytic converters are environmentally friendly - but only if they are properly maintained. 4. Check your tires. Correct tire pressures will keep wear down and fuel economy up. Under-inflated tires need replacing more often .Anybody who has cycled on under-inflated tires will appreciate how much extra effort is involved! Make a point of checking them at least once a week. 5. Obey the speed limits. Try to "feather" the throttle as you reach your cruising speed. Doing 56mph uses 25 per cent less fuel than 70mph and a smoother driving style can bring significant fuel saving. 6. Reduce the drag factor by removing roof racks and carriers when not in use. Driving with the window open also increases drag and lowers fuel economy. Remove unnecessary trunk luggage; avoid heavy accessories and wide tires that add rolling resistance. Air conditioning lowers fuel economy so use the vent settings as much as possible instead. 9. Reverse in when you park. When you start off again, the engine will be cold and at its most fuel inefficient. If you can drive smoothly away without having to reverse when the engine is cold, not only will you save fuel you will also have better visibility. 10. Be a tank miser. Why fill the tank up to the very brim? If you do so, you may be carrying around additional fuel, which in turn means that you have more weight on board than is necessary. That extra weight will itself reduce fuel efficiency. MAY MALIBU MANIA CHEVROLET.
