Shift up a gear from 2,000 rpm (diesel engine) or from 2,500 rpm (petrol engine).
The objective is to avoid staying between 3000 and 3500 revolutions, since the engine consumes much more.
This leads to excessive fuel consumption.
To find out the number of revolutions per minute, take a look at the rev counter on your dashboard.
It displays the engine speed. The lower the revs you go, the less gasoline or diesel you consume.

Look far ahead to anticipate traffic. Especially in the city.
Why ? Because it's the best way to anticipate a traffic light turning red or a pedestrian crossing.
This way you avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
As a result, you consume less fuel because your speed is more stable.
And this is valid for a manual or automatic gearbox.

The rule is simple:if you take a stop longer than 1 minute , turn off the ignition.
Do not leave the engine running unnecessarily.
To make a phone call, consult a map, change passengers or if you are stuck in traffic, turn off the engine.
Unlike the old cars, the new engines are much more efficient and withstand untimely stops very well.
And if you have a Start and go device that cuts the engine when stopped, that's even better! The car does it on its own.

As soon as you accelerate (gently), shift as quickly as possible.
The objective is to drive as much as possible at low revs. Why?
Because in 4th or 5th gear, you consume less fuel.
Even in town at 50 km/h, try to drive in 4th, even 5th, rather than in 3rd.
Above all, don't get stuck in 1st gear. Get into 2nd gear as quickly as possible.
Same for the following gears, quickly upshift in order to drive at low revs.

Whether in town approaching a traffic light or on the road, consider downshifting rather than braking.
Using the engine brake saves fuel.
Again, the objective is to anticipate traffic to have time to react and brake quietly by downshifting.

In summer, the air conditioning is very practical. The downside is that you easily get used to leaving it on.
Result:we forget to turn it off even when it is not hot. We get in the car and the air conditioning is already on.
Remember to turn it off as soon as possible and turn it off when you get out of the car .
In town, it's 30% savings instantly! On the road, it's more than 15%.
And if it's really hot, don't put it too low. Otherwise you pull even more on the engine. 23°C is enough to feel good.
To get an idea, count 5°C less than the outside temperature.
Last advice, avoid putting the air conditioning on full blast at start-up. It only takes effect after a few minutes.
If it is very hot, it is best to ventilate the interior of the car first by opening all the doors, including the trunk.

Do you have a sporty driving style?
Then cruise control can save you gas. Especially on expressways and motorways .
But once you have an economical and smooth ride, it will be best to turn it off at times. Especially on climbs and descents.
Indeed, on climbs, it is better to reduce your speed so as not to force the engine.
And for the descents, it is better to let go of the accelerator to let yourself go down.
The cruise control keeps the same speed even uphill and downhill.
Result, it accelerates uphill to keep the same speed. It's the same concern for the descents.

Contrary to popular belief, using neutral downhill does not save fuel.
Why ? Because technically the engine continues to consume fuel to maintain its idle.
Whereas if you use the engine brake, the engine consumes nothing.
This is true for descents, but also when traffic slows down.

On the highway, do not leave one or more windows open. Same for the sunroof.
Why ? Because your car loses aerodynamics . As a result, you consume 5% more fuel.
If you are hot, prefer to use the air conditioning at a reasonable temperature.
And if you're cold, know that you can turn on the heating without consuming more!
On the other hand, in town at low speed, you can leave the windows open, as this has no impact on fuel consumption.
