Fuel Saving Tips 49

Fuel Saving Tips.

We can all Think Blue.

At Volkswagen, we aim to produce the most fuel efﬁ cient, environmentally sustainable

vehicles possible. The good news is – we can all do our little bit to ‘Think Blue’.

Below, we have summarised the best tips for how you can drive more responsibly and reduce

fuel consumption even further. It’s not just your wallet that will beneﬁ t from these tips, but

the environment too. Its practical beneﬁ ts go far beyond just saving money and reducing

emissions. Here are nine tips on how to drive more efﬁ ciently.

Be aware and save fuel. Think Blue.

03. Just let it roll

Use overrun fuel cutoﬀ .

With the right driving techniques, you can really

save. Whilst in gear, coast down hills or towards

trafﬁ c lights to reduce feeding fuel to your engine.

01. Take it easy and save

Drive the modern way and think ahead.

Drive smoothly and anticipate hazards. Hard

braking and acceleration, sudden lane changes

and unpredictable behaviour is fuel-inefﬁ cient.

02. Change up early and ﬁ ll up later

Drive in the highest gear possible.

Use a higher gear with a manual transmission.

Low revs take far less energy. With an automatic,

reduce acceleration and avoid a kick down.

04. Comfort high, fuel consumption low

Use auxiliary equipment in moderation.

Check the equipment you’re using – if you don’t

need it, consider turning it off. De-misters, sound

systems and air conditioning all use energy.

05. Savings are in the air

Check your tyre pressures.

Check your tyre pressures to cut fuel consumption.

Under-inﬂ ated tyres force your car to burn more

fuel. Tyres in good order will help you save fuel.

06. A warm engine – a cool way to save

Avoid short trips.

Plan to minimise the number of trips you need

to make. Frequent short trips mean higher fuel

consumption as cold engines run less efﬁ ciently.

07. Well-oiled for impressive savings

Use Volkswagen approved engine oils.

A well-lubricated engine produces less emissions

especially when the weather is cold or the trip is

short. Change your oil at regular intervals.

08. Keep it sleek

Cut aerodynamic drag.

Remember to remove roof racks, bike racks or roof

boxes off your car when they’re not in use. Keep

windows up and sunroofs closed to reduce drag.

09. Lightly does it

Avoid unnecessary weight.

Every kilogram you load into your car takes energy

to move – energy that will be supplied by burning

fuel. The lighter you drive, the more you save.
