A Comprehensive Guide to Buying Used Cars 


  1. Maintain the proper tire pressure: Underinflated tires can unnecessarily cause your car to consume more fuel. Each tire that is underinflated by ten psi can reduce the fuel economy by about 3.3%. So, make sure that you follow your vehicle’s owner’s manual thoroughly and maintain the exact tire pressure that is recommended. 
  1. Go easy on the pedal and do not Overspeed: Driving your car rashly by rapid acceleration and sudden braking will take a toll on your vehicles’ overall performance and affect your car’s fuel efficiency. Hence, always try to maintain an optimal speed and avoid speeding.

  1. Regular vehicle maintenance/inspection: Timely services and inspection of your vehicle will keep you safe and increase the life of your car, but it will also help get better fuel efficiency.  
  1. Avoid excess idling: Most modern cars are equipped with technologies that can help them res-start often without any fuss. So, it is recommended that you switch off your engine while waiting at an extended halt in front of a traffic signal or if you have to wait for someone for a considerable amount of time. This will help improve fuel efficiency and protect the environment by reducing emissions.
