Ensure
that 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.
Adjust
Tyre pressure when the Tyre is hot, i.e when the
vehicle has run for 15 to 20 km. Hot air expands
if Tyre pressure is regulated, when cold you will
mostly have excess air in the tyres.
Try
to fill fuel in the mornings, as specific gravity
of fuel is high in the morning.
Try
to 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.
Get
the vehicle serviced 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. (Please note these additives have recommended
instructions and applications.)
Drive
your vehicle smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration
or braking. Anticipate stops to avoid harsh braking.
Switch
off your vehicle if you need to stop for more than
three minutes.
Avoid
clutch riding. i.e make sure that your foot is
not resting on the clutch pedal while driving.
This will reduce both your clutch life and your
mileage.
While
cruising at high speeds, ease your foot off the
accelerator pedal just enough to maintain the speed
while not keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor.
This will ensure that excess fuel is not being burnt
unnecessarily.
