1. Avoid the habit of accelerating and braking suddenly.

In fact, the habit of using heavy accelerators and frequent sudden braking will burn more fuel. Each time you brake suddenly, the car loses momentum, forcing the driver to accelerate harder to regain speed. Develop the habit of accelerating and braking gently.

2. Use cruise control to maintain a steady speed.

When driving on long, flat stretches of road, use cruise control. This feature helps the car maintain a stable speed, thereby reducing fuel consumption. However, drivers should note that when going downhill, the car may increase its RPM ("Revolutions Per Minute") and burn more fuel.

3. Avoid leaving your car idling for too long.

If you have to stop your car for an extended period, consider turning off the engine. This will help save fuel and reduce emissions, even if the stop is as short as 10 seconds.

4. Avoid lowering windows or using air conditioning unnecessarily.

Over-running the air conditioner can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 25%. Notably, lowering the windows can also increase fuel consumption by about 9% at high speeds due to increased air resistance. Additionally, improper tire pressure is another cause of increased fuel consumption.

5. Pay attention to where and when you refuel.

Car users should refuel in the early morning or when the weather is cool so that the gasoline doesn't evaporate quickly, thus saving more money compared to refueling when the outside temperature is quite high during hot weather.
