The good news is that, on a daily basis, changing your habits can help reduce fuel consumption by 10% to 15%.

It’s important to bear in mind that your driving style has a direct influence on your fuel consumption.

That’s why it is recommended to adopt an energy-efficient driving style, sometimes known as eco-driving.

This notably involves driving smoothly, i.e., managing gear changes perfectly and using the optimal gear, but also driving a little slower on roads and freeways if traffic permits, using the cruise control and, above all, avoiding any sudden acceleration or braking.

Plus, it’s better to turn off your engine during longer stops, even in traffic jams.

Before taking the wheel, it’s important to prepare your car carefully. For example, under-inflated tires or an overloaded car can significantly increase fuel consumption.

It’s therefore a good idea to check the tire pressure and not to overload your car before setting out on a long trip.

It’s also advisable to check the oil level regularly to ensure the engine runs smoothly.

Once inside the car, it is better to keep the windows shut and not to overuse the air conditioning, which can also impact fuel consumption.
