Driving for Fuel Economy

Economic Driving Tips

• Try to accelerate and slow down gently and avoid heavy braking if you can.
• Leave a larger gap between your car and the one in front, this gives you plenty of time to react and slow down without braking heavily.
• When you drive off from a stop, let the car move smoothly before applying more throttle.
• Avoid braking hard for corners; instead, slow down gently before negotiating the corner. Once you exit the corner, apply a small amount of throttle.
• Using cruise control on the motorway or open road can help keep a constant speed.
