At the pump
- Compare prices near you before you go and pick the cheapest station within a reasonable distance.
- Avoid motorway stations when there is an alternative in a nearby town.
- Use the loyalty card of the network you fill up at most.
Behind the wheel
- Accelerate smoothly and anticipate traffic lights; hard braking wastes energy you already paid for.
- On the motorway, air resistance grows quickly with speed: consumption rises noticeably between 110 and 130 km/h.
- Change up early and use engine braking.
On the car
- Keep tyres at the pressure in the manual.
- Remove the roof box and unnecessary weight from the boot.
- Keep up with servicing: the air filter, spark plugs and oil affect consumption.
