  • If you forced to push your throttle, keep your throttle in fewer than 80%. Use your push force of your car to increase your speed when you want quicker. Use your highest gear position when you are in highway. Your RPM will still at low rate and your fuel consumption can be more economized.
  • If you are in an empty way, for example in highway, keep in your speed in 70 km per hour. This is the best speed and will make your car more economized. If your speed more than that rate, it makes your RPM rise and your fuel will wasteful.
  • Don't jerking your throttle. Your throttle push must be stable and inherent, if you jerking throttle, automatically your fuel will sucked to ignition chamber more than in normal condition, while your RPM still in low rotation. As a consequence, the fuel will imperfectly fired in the ignition chamber, so your fuel goes out pass through your muffler. Drive your car in a constant speed.

If your car pressure is high, it means that your engine in hard work condition and automatically makes your fuel consumption more wasteful. Try to using your cruise control that installed in your car for economize your fuel consumption when you drive on highway.
  • Check your HC and CO condition. Your fuel consumption is depending on your car's components too. Worn-out components in your car makes your ignition process is not perfect. You must check your car pollution level too. When your car pollution test said that your HC and CO level is high, it means that in your ignition chamber didn't happen a perfect ignition process.
  • Besides using brake pedal, use your engine brake to help stopping your car. Release your pedal slowly, and your engine RPM will decrease too.
  • Don't set your air conditioning in high level if you don't need it.
  • Add your tires pressure to help economize your fuel consumption.
