The cheapest litre is the one you don't burn
- Maintain correct tyre pressure, under-inflated tyres can cost you 5% mileage
- Use engine braking instead of riding the brake
- Avoid idling for more than 30 seconds, turn the engine off
- Drive at 60 to 80 km/h on the highway, the sweet spot for most sedans
- Clean / replace the air filter every service
- Use the recommended engine oil grade (thicker isn't always better)
CNG vs Petrol
Where CNG is available, the per-km cost is still roughly half, but availability and queue times often outweigh the savings.
Plan trips together
Combine errands into one outing. A cold engine burns 20% more for the first 5km.
