Changing driving habits and maintaining your vehicle properly are the most effective ways to save petrol and diesel.
If you use the right techniques, you can save 10 to 25 percent on fuel.Below are some important and easy ways to save petrol and diesel:
Maintain a controlled speed: Drive the car at a constant and limited speed (40 to 50 km/h). Driving at high speeds burns more fuel.
Avoid sudden braking and acceleration: Avoid sudden acceleration or sudden hard braking. This increases fuel consumption significantly.
Use the right gear: Estimate the speed of the vehicle and change to the right gear. Shifting to a higher gear at lower speeds or a lower gear at higher speeds puts stress on the engine and reduces mileage.

Carpool and public transportation: Carpool (share a car) with friends or colleagues to work or use public transportation like buses and metro.
Bicycle or walking: Walking or using a bicycle instead of using a two-wheeler or four-wheeler for short-distance errands is a better option for health and fuel savings.
