Driving at moderate speeds will help to save fuel. Do not use winter tyres all year round: they will increase fuel consumption by Avoid idling up to 10 %. It is worthwhile switching off the engine when waiting in a traffic jam, at level Avoid unnecessary weight crossings or at traffic lights with a long red phase. The fuel saved after only 30 - 40 seconds is greater than the amount of fuel needed to restart the Every kilo of extra weight will put up the fuel consumption, so it is worth engine. checking the luggage compartment occasionally to make sure that no unnec- essary loads are being transported. The engine takes a very long time to warm up when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical wear and pollutant emissions are also especially high A roof rack is often left in place for the sake of convenience, even when it is during this initial warm-up phase. It is therefore best to drive off immediately no longer needed. At a speed of 100-120 km/h your car will use about 12% after starting the engine.
