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.
