Break up with your partner if he or she is fat. If you
have fat friends, make sure you are going out in
their car not the other way around. With the
increase in price of PMS, people have been
wondering how to save fuel. Nigerians always see
opportunity in every situation which means some
people started importing stuff they say will reduce
the rate at which you petrol burn by 25%. Petrol
cannot be diesel.


So here I am giving you tips on how to reduce your
fuel consumption. If you are driving a Corolla, you
really don't have to worry except you are not ready
to use a car. If you drive cars like Infinity FX45, Benz
S550 etc this post is not for you. You are meant to
spend a lot on fuel. So many Tips but I will shortlist
a little that you can follow.

1. Drive at the speed limit.
This is the single most effective solution to
increasing efficiency. The most fuel-efficient speed
may be the point at which your vehicle shifts to high
gear. For most vehicles, this is somewhere around
80mph.

2. Try to avoid traffic on busy days or times when it
is raining, windy or barometric pressure is high.
Rain, headwind and high barometric pressure create
extra air drag that uses more fuel to create and
maintain forward motion (a tailwind helps).

3. Get rid of any unnecessary weight in your car or
truck like golf clubs or unnecessary tools, materials
and YOUR FAT GF.
Lowering the tailgate on a pickup truck actually
reduces your gas mileage byreducing drag.

4. Avoid wasting fuel from pressing the gas to regain
the speed lost from braking when following closely
(tailgating) which forces you to correct your
following distance by applying your brakes, slowing
forward motion.

5. Every time you punch the gas to quickly accelerate
after stopping you are burning extra fuel and
increasing tire wear.

6. It increases fuel consumption when you allow the
vehicle speed to drift lower and then accelerate back
up than it does to maintain a steady position on the
accelerator.

7. Change your air filter.
A dirty air filter will rob the engine of power and
efficiency. It will use more gas than a clean filter.

8. Keep the tires inflated to the proper pressure to
increase your travelling distance on a tank of gas.
Keep a tire gauge handy and check the pressure.
Tires naturally lose air over a period of time.

9. Service your car at manufacturers recommended
intervals.
Tokunbo or New, Change spark plugs and co when
their performance begins to drop.

10. Avoid excessive idling.
If you idle your car for more than a minute, it will
save gas to turn off the engine.

11. Ignite the engine.
Wait for the rev cursor to return to 1. Then move
slowly. Your car will warm up b4 you get to the main
road or highway.
NB: New cars don't need to be warmed up.

12. The Air conditioner consumes fuel.
Use it only when its necessary. In the afternoon, in
traffic or when it pours.

13. Keep track of your fuel economy so you can
quickly identify when your vehicle is in need of a
tune-up or other service.

14. Pretend that there is a raw egg between your
foot and the accelerator pedal in your vehicle.
You don’t want to break the egg and get the mess on
your floor boards so you’ll be less inclined to press
down the throttle pedal. The idea is to encourage
gentle accelerations and avoid flooring or lead
footing your vehicle.

15. When you see a red light in the distance, start to
slow down moderately well before, and wait for it to
turn green so you can stroll on through, hopefully
maintaining quite a bit of speed.

16. One great way to save fuel is to do minimal
braking for turns.
When coming up to a turn or bend, threshold brake
at thelimit of adhesion and slowly release the brakes
as your turn the wheel. Once your come out of the
turn you will still be near the speed limit.

17. Don’t top off!
Never fill past the auto-stop on the pump – anything
above that can spill and can benegated by emissions
systems! Either way, topped-off fuel is wasted!

18. When you arrive home, take the time to reverse
park into your garage/parking lot. Do this while the
engine is already up to temperature instead of
spending time in the morning reversing and
manoeuvring the car out while the engine is cold
and consuming more fuel.

19. Know Your route
I use a simple GPS that I bought for only $99.
Whenever I am unfamiliar with the route, I plug in
the address to avoid getting lost and wasting miles.
It also works great for finding food and fuel stops
along the route of your trip.

20. Most effective way is to sell your car. We will
