Proven Ways to Save on Fuel | Rooster
With fuel prices fluctuating, finding proven ways to save on fuel is essential for many drivers. Whether you’re commuting daily or planning a long road trip, a few smart changes can help you cut costs and reduce your carbon footprint.
Keep Your Tyres Properly Inflated
Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance, making your engine work harder and consume more fuel. Regularly checking and maintaining your tyre pressure can improve fuel efficiency and extend tyre life.
Drive Smoothly
Sudden acceleration and harsh braking waste fuel. Instead, aim for smooth acceleration and gentle braking. Anticipating traffic flow and maintaining a steady speed can significantly boost your miles per gallon.
Lighten the Load
Carrying excess weight puts more strain on your engine. Remove unnecessary items from your boot and keep your roof rack clear when it’s not in use to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.
Use Cruise Control on Motorways
Cruise control helps you maintain a constant speed, reducing fuel consumption on long motorway journeys. Just remember to use it wisely, as it’s less efficient on hilly roads.
Plan Where to Top Up Fuel
Finding the cheapest fuel prices can make a big difference to your overall costs. The Rooster app makes this easy by helping you locate the lowest fuel prices in your area, saving you both time and money on every fill-up.
Turn Off the Air Conditioning
Air conditioning puts extra strain on your engine. If possible, switch it off and use your car’s ventilation system instead, especially at lower speeds.
