đ Fuel Cost & Efficiency Tips
Use Public Transportation
Walking or biking does not consume fuel. Public transport alternatives like buses, trains, and trolleys are viable options for reducing fuel costs due to their communal nature.
Carpool
Also known as car sharing, carpooling is the arrangement between two or more people to travel to a shared destination in a single vehicle. Much more efficient than driving separate cars.
Use a Fuel Efficient Vehicle
Driving a smaller car makes a great difference â the fuel cost is about half for a small sedan than for a very large SUV. Choose an engine size appropriate for your needs.
Fuel Efficiency Tips
Vehicle Maintenance
- Tune the engine: A properly tuned engine maximizes power and enhances fuel efficiency by up to 4%
- Fix maintenance issues: A faulty oxygen sensor can improve mileage by up to 40%
- Use correct motor oil: Using manufacturer's recommended grade improves mileage by 1-2%
Driving Habits
- Adjust tires: Properly inflated tires reduce fuel consumption by up to 3%
- Plan trips carefully: Calculate straight routes with fewer stops and diversions
- Highway driving: Steady speed on highways maximizes fuel efficiency
Factors That Determine Fuel Price
Economic Factors
- Government intervention: Taxation and subsidies affect consumer prices
- Financial markets: Global oil prices (Brent, WTI) fluctuate constantly
- Geographic area: Proximity to oil supplies affects regional fuel costs
External Factors
- Politics: Leadership changes and international relations impact fuel policy
- Natural disasters: Weather events can disrupt production and transportation
- Supply and demand: Market forces determine regional fuel availability and pricing
