Avoid driving short distances distance, on the one hand at +20°C and on the other hand at -10°C. Your

Short distances result in an above-average high fuel

Tyres which are correctly inflated save fuel.
Always ensure that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure at all

too low. This will not only increase fuel consumption but also tyre wear
and the driving behaviour will worsen.
Always check the inflation pressure of the tyres when cold.
Do not drive with winter tyres all year round for this costs about 10 %
