Car tyres can play a big factor in fuel consumption

Here are a few simple pointers to consider when trying to drop your fuel consumption.

• Tyre air pressure makes a big difference in fuel consumption. Ensure your car tyres are up to the pressure as detailed in your owner's manual.
• Is your air filter clogged? The air filter plays an important part in the engine combustion process and fuel efficiency.
• Check your vehicle is using the grade of engine oil as recommended by your car manufacturer to ensure maximum fuel efficiency.
• Do you know how far you can drive before needing to change your engine oil? Check your owner’s manual and ensure you have not exceeded the kms. This will prevent wear and tear on your engine and reduce overall fuel consumption.
• Close your windows! Car designers are always fussing over aerodynamics. Opening windows or sunroofs drastically increases drag, especially at high speed.
• Lastly turn the air-conditioner off! Car air conditioners use a lot of energy, once your vehicle is at the desired temperature turn the air-con off to drastically save fuel.

 With fuel prices going up and up, these fuel saving pointers will help to ease the financial stress on frequent drivers. Find a tyre shop near you to get a quote on some new tyres.
