During Spring or later Summer in case that air-conditioning isn’t really needed then don’t use it. Climate control considerably increases fuel consumption at lower speeds, but when travelling faster the effects are far less noticeable.

Avoid to accelerating and slamming on your breaks is one of the best ways to needlessly waste benzin. You will be surprised from the fuel amount you could save (up to 60%) driving in this manner.When pulling away from traffic lights, try to accelerate gently and change into a higher gear as soon as it is safe to do so.

Doing 110km/h on the motorway will use between 10% and 20% more fuel than sticking to the national speed limit of 90km/h. Through observing the speed limit, you may also make considerable additional savings on speeding fines and insurance premiums due to points on your licence.

No matter how tempting it may be to jump in the car to pick up your Sunday papers or to collect the children from a school less than half-a-mile away, try to walk instead or combine a number of errands.
