Applying the following simple driving techniques, says Toyota, can help improve fuel efficiency.
• Avoid quick acceleration. The faster you accelerate, the more fuel your vehicle uses. Moderate acceleration saves fuel and money.
• Avoid unnecessary braking. Releasing the gas pedal and coasting when possible, rather than braking suddenly, means you’ll be squeezing every kilometre out of your fuel.
• Stay within the speed limits and drive at a steady pace. Fuel consumption increases dramatically at speeds greater than 100 kilometres an hour.
• Maintain your vehicle and regularly check your tire pressure. Your vehicle can’t perform at its maximum efficiency unless it is kept in good working condition.
• Don’t haul more than you need. Less junk to carry means less fuel needed to move the vehicle.
• Plan your route. Whenever possible, combining several short trips into one can help reduce your total distance travelled and fuel consumed.
