Saving fuel not only helps your wallet but also reduces your impact on the environment
To help you get the most out of every litre, the teams at Engen (Fairways, Kloof, and Polo Pony) have shared their top tips for smarter, more efficient driving.
Drive smoothly
Avoid sudden accelerations and hard braking – smooth driving helps your car use less fuel.
Keep your vehicle in shape
Regular servicing and timely oil changes keep your engine running efficiently and can improve fuel economy.
Check your tyre pressure
Properly inflated tyres mean your car doesn’t have to work as hard, saving fuel along the way.
Lighten the load
Extra weight in your car makes your engine work harder, so remove anything unnecessary before you hit the road.
Use cruise control on highways
Keeping a steady speed with cruise control helps save fuel on long drives.
Switch off instead of idling
If you’re stopped for more than 30 seconds, turn off your engine to avoid wasting fuel.
Plan your route
Try to avoid traffic jams and roadworks – they cause stop-and-go driving, which uses more fuel.
Try eco modes
If your car has a fuel-saving or eco mode, use it to help boost your efficiency.
