12 Tips to Better Fuel Economy
Tip 10: Lighten Up, Weight is Everything
Overloaded to the Extreme
Weight is everything when it comes to fuel economy. Remove unnecessary weight from the car. Every extra kilogram you carry will adversely affect your car’s performance.
Some ideas include, if your car or van has removable seats that you never use, remove them and keep them in the garage. Don’t carry unnecessary items around in the car or in the boot with you.
For more extreme options, changing car body parts for lighter options will reduce weight and increase your fuel economy. Some examples would be selecting alloy wheels rather than steel wheels or fitting a a carbon fibre bonnet rather than the steel one. However, these are expensive options and they are only likely to save you money in the very long term.
