10 Ways to Stretching Your Petrol !!!

1) Ensure your vehicle is in tip-top shape. Tune your car regularly so that the engine is performing at its best.

2) Check your tyres. Soft tyres create more friction with the road.

3) Drive gentlely. Fast starts and sudden brakes burn up more fuel!

4) Plan your Route. Avoid peak-hour traffice if possible. Driving at a constant speed on the highway usues less petrol than stop-start driving in the city traffic.

5) Travel light. Leave your golf bags and bicycles racks at home. They make your car work harder.

6) Close your windows. An open windows adds drag and increases fuel consumption by up to 5 percent.

7) Turn off the air-conditioning, unless it is sweltering. It is a major petrol guzzler.

8) Watch your speed. For most cars, travelling at 80kmh to 90kmh uses 25 to 30 percent less petrol than at 110kmh.

9) Do not idle. Im major traffic jams or when waiting for someone, turn off the engine.

10) Buy cheaper petrol. Higher octane does not mean more power. Go for what your car needs.
