Fuel Saving Tips
- Always check the Tyre pressures are maintained as per manufacturer specifications. Over or under inflated tyres would mean better mileage or better handling respectively but will drastically reduce the Tyre life.
- Normally adjust the Tyre pressure when the Tyre is hot.
- Always try to fill fuel in the mornings, as specific gravity of fuel is high in the morning.
- Always keep the fuel tank above the half mark in city driving conditions so that a proper pressure is maintained. Also this will ensure that the fuel lines are always clean and are not clogged by the gum like residue of slow flowing fuel. The Fuel tank too will not catch rust.
- Do vehicle service at regular intervals from authorized service centers to ensure that the vehicle is in proper tune at all times.
- Use recommended fuel additives to keep the fuel system clean.
- Drive your vehicle smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration or braking. Anticipate stops to avoid harsh braking.
- Try shifting to higher gears at lower speeds, especially in citydriving to get the maximum mileage out of your car. Ideally, one should be in 5th gear or the highest possible gear at speeds above 50-60 km/h.
- Switch off your vehicle if you need to stop for more than three minutes.
- Higher octane fuels as X-tra Premium, Speed and Power are recommended for cars with engines having higher compression ratios, viz., C segment and above. This results in improved mileage as well as enhanced performance. No additives need be used with these fuels.
