We can usually tell straight away when a car is wasting fuel…
and most of the time, it comes down to simple things 👇
Low tyre pressure – creates more resistance, so your car has to work harder
👉 Check your tyres regularly (even slightly low makes a difference)
Missed services – old oil and worn parts reduce engine efficiency
👉 Keeping up with servicing helps your engine run smoother and use less fuel
Dirty air filters – restrict airflow to your engine
👉 A clean filter = better combustion and better fuel use
Stop-start driving – constant braking and accelerating burns more fuel
👉 Smooth driving and planning your trips can help reduce this
These might seem small, but they add up every single drive.
If your car isn’t running efficiently, you’re paying for it at the pump without even realising.
Share this with someone who’s always filling up their tank 😅
