Underinflated tyres are 概算の to 衝撃 a car's 燃料 消費 by up to 10 per cent.?

Check the car's owner's 手動式の to find out what the optimum 圧力s are. Most models also have the tyre 圧力 info 詳細（に述べる）d on a sticker on the driver's door sill - while modern cars might also 陳列する，発揮する the 圧力 in the 器具 cluster, or 警報 you to 圧力 that is incorrect.?

Most modern cars have adjustable 運動ing settings that modulate how quickly they 加速する. If yours has an 'ECO' 方式, like the one pictured, you should use it

3. If your car has an 'eco' 方式, use it

If you have a car that doesn't have adjustable 運動ing 方式s, try to replicate what it does with your 権利 foot. This means taking it 平易な on the throttle pedal when you can.

過度の 速度(を上げる） is the biggest 燃料-guzzling factor so having a light 権利 foot and 確実にするing all acceleration is gentle is very important to 燃料-efficient 運動ing.

When you 始める，決める off from a 行き詰まり, such as at traffic lights and junctions, try not to 反応する like you're on the starting grid at Silverstone.

If you want some 付加 help to make you 運動 more economically, there is a new 解放する／自由な app that could be of 援助.

Karai by 運動 重要な can be downloaded to your smartphone and （人命などを）奪う，主張するs to be able to 減ずる you 燃料 usage - and 炭素 足跡 - by up to a ４半期/4分の1.?

It 対策 your 運動ing in real time with 場所 跡をつけるing and 供給するs a 運転者s with a real-world, eco-運動ing 得点する／非難する／２０s and advice to 改善する this to get more out of the 燃料 in their 戦車／タンク.

率d out of 100, drivers can then see where to 改善する and therefore save money.

The RAC says choosing a higher gear will mean you're not overworking the engine and therefore 少なくなるing the 需要・要求する for 燃料

5. Stick to the 限界 while using the highest gear possible

It might sound pretty obvious to say, but going faster does result in higher 燃料 消費.?

運動 at 70mph and you’ll use up to 9 per cent more than at 60mph and up to 15 per cent more than at 50mph, says the AA. And taking it up to 80mph can use up to 25 per cent more 燃料 than at 70mph, so it's recommended you 運動 at an appropriate 速度(を上げる） based on the 限界.?

The RAC 追加するs that one of the biggest secret to 達成するing high mpg is 運動ing in the highest possible gear for your 乗り物 while keeping within the 速度(を上げる） 限界.?

'The best advice in 都市の areas is to change up through the gears as quickly as you can with the lowest revs possible, probably at around 2000rpm,' it says.?

Most modern cars also come with a gear 転換 指示する人（物） in the 器具 cluster. These are often tuned for the most economical 運動ing rather than 完全な 業績／成果, so if you see an 上向き arrow and a number 代表するing the next year higher you should 転換 straight away.?

6. 心配する 井戸／弁護士席 ahead to 保存する 燃料 when ブレーキing

激しい acceleration will 次第に損なう 燃料 economy, but ブレーキing too ひどく also has the same 衝撃, as you can use いっそう少なく 燃料 by coming to a 行き詰まり more 徐々に.

This 要求するs a driver to 心配する traffic flow ahead, but is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way of 限界ing 燃料 use.???

If you're a long-distance driver who relies on 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する, it might be 価値（がある） 避けるing using it while 石油 and ディーゼル prices are as high as they 現在／一般に are

7. 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する isn't your friend if you want to save 燃料?

While many will believe that using 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する functionality will 供給する the lowest 燃料 use, this isn't always the 事例／患者.

巡航する 支配（する）／統制する is most likely to 利益 mpg on motorways with a constant 速度(を上げる） and a flat surface.

However, if you were to use your 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する 定期的に and not on flat roads, you would see 燃料 消費 増加する.

'This is because your 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する would be slower to 反応する to gradient changes, meaning when reaching the brow of a hill ? at which point you would 普通は take your foot off the accelerator to 持続する more of a constant 速度(を上げる） when descending ? your 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する will keep the 力／強力にする on for a little longer as it's unable to see the gradient change in 前線 of you.?

'運動ing in this way 定期的に would lead to worse 燃料 消費,' says the RAC.?

Don't use your 空気／公表する 条件ing unless you really have to as it uses engine 力／強力にする and therefore 増加するs 燃料 消費.

8. 避ける using the 空気／公表する-反対／詐欺 and heater

Don't use your 空気／公表する 条件ing unless you really have to as it uses engine 力／強力にする and therefore 増加するs 燃料 消費 by as much as 10 per cent on shorter 旅行s.

This shouldn't be an 問題／発行する during the cooler months, though using a car's heater wi ll have a 類似の 衝撃, with it running off the engine 力／強力にする and therefore lowering 燃料 economy.

Dress accordingly for the 天候, is the best advice.

9. A warm engine is more efficient, so run 多重の errands in a 選び出す／独身 旅行

Once an engine is warm it will operate most efficiently, 反して several 冷淡な starts will 増加する your 燃料 消費.

So if you have a number of errands to run or trips to do in a day, try to 連合させる them into one car 旅行 so you 避ける turning the ignition on your 燃料 costs.

There is also a 気候 利益 at this time of year.?

The AA says that warmer 気温s should 改善する mpg '意味ありげに' with an extra three miles to the gallon 'almost 保証（人）d for most' in the summer.?

Having an empty roofbox fitted to the 最高の，を越す of your car will make it far いっそう少なく drag efficient, which means the engine will have to work harder - and use more 燃料 - to 中和する／阻止する this

10. Lighten your car's 負担

While this isn't going to make the biggest difference to your mpg 人物／姿／数字s, emptying 激しい clutter from your car will fractionally 改善する its 燃料 economy.

This is 特に the 事例／患者 at this time of year when families are 準備するing for their summer holidays by 任命する／導入するing roof boxes for 付加 luggage space.?

However, if you're not using the roof box or roof 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s, take them off as it could make your モーター いっそう少なく drag efficient.??

によれば the Energy Saving 信用, an empty roof rack 追加するs 16 per cent drag when 運動ing at 75mph. At the same 速度(を上げる） a roof box 追加するs 39 per cent, making your 乗り物 much いっそう少なく 燃料 efficient.

運動ing with a window fully open also has a 類似の 影響.
