With petrol prices hitting record levels, using less fuel can mean big savings. Try these tips:

Fill up in the morning since it’s cooler there’s less evaporation.
Screw the cap tightly to prevent fuel loss via evaporation or spillage.
Lighten up. Do you really need to lug all that clutter? Transporting heavy weight can burn 10 percent more fuel.
Have your car serviced regularly. A poorly maintained car uses up to 25 percent more fuel.
Drive off right after starting, but at low speed. The engine will warm up faster and lubricate better, improving fuel efficiency.
Keep an eye on speed. The most fuel-effiecient speed is between 75km and 90km per hour.
