Fuel Saving Tips


Check Your Air Pressure

Keep your tyres properly inflated and you could improve petrol mileage by more than $1.50 every time you fill your tank. The recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle is located on a sticker inside your driver-side door or noted in your owner's manual.

Maintain Your Air Filter

Replacing a clogged air filter can increase your vehicle's petrol mileage by as much as 10%.

Watch The Weight

Excess weight in your vehicle can reduce petrol mileage by 1-2% for every 100 pounds, so watch what you keep in your trunk.

Know Your Oil

Improve your gas mileage by up to 2% with the proper grade of motor oil.

Keep It Tuned

Keeping up with regular vehicle maintenance can allow you to increase your petrol mileage by an average of 4.1%.

Keep It Capped
Did you know about 38 million gallons of petrol evaporate every year from vehicles without petrol caps?

Avoid Fast Starts

Don't be a hot-head! Aggressive acceleration can reduce your petrol mileage by up to a whopping 33%!
