. Nearly 50% of the energy needed to power your car goes to acceleration. Anticipating traffic conditions can help increase fuel economy by 5-10%. Each time you brake, you use that much more energy to get going again. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use your brake, of course, but if you avoid tailgating, you may be able to coast more and save fuel.

: Right tyres pressures
One of the key things to achieve good fuel efficiency is to keep your tyres inflated to the right pressure. Every manufacturer has a recommended tyre pressure for the front and rear marked into the driver’s side door by means of stamping or a sticker. Maintaining the right tyre pressure will also give you better control, prevent your tyres from over-heating which would lead to damage to connected components like the wheels, brakes and body parts.

Is Your Car Ready?
Before you hit the road this summer, make sure your vehicle is road trip ready so you can have any problems fixed before you go. A pre-trip vehicle checkup will help avoid the inconvenience, potential safety hazards and unplanned expense of breaking down miles away from home, says the non-profit Car Care Council.
