  1. Brakes are good but do not apply a lot of brake while driving. Try to change lanes rather than slowing down for a braking driver while on road. Not riding the break can increase your fuel efficiency by up to 30%. Keep in mind there must not be any compromise on you safety. As on roads negligent and irresponsible driving not only puts your life at risk but also threatens others on road.
  2. Switch off the ignition if you are stopping for more than 10 minutes. As I mentioned increased traffic is a day to day problem and most of us face it on roads with hours of traffic jams. This way you can prevent burning of unnecessary gas and increase the fuel efficiency.
  3. Though you should turn off the engine if you are stopping for more than 10 minutes, avoid turning off the car if you have to stop only for a brief moment. More gas is utilized in starting the engine again than you would burn in that short span of time.
  4. Perfect Tires: Tires must be properly inflated to increase fuel efficiency. It is a general practice to inspect air inflation of tires only when they go flat. However, having tires that are properly inflated can save fuel and make your car more fuel efficient and provide comfortable drive. So you should check your tire pressure on a regular basis.
  5. What are you waiting for: As soon as engine starts, starts driving. This might seem obvious but there are some people who leave the car start for some time before driving.

These tips not only helps you in securing your pockets but also make your drive more environment friendly.
