Petrol prices are proving a real pain in the neck for drivers during these tough economic times. Drivers want some value for their money. Lots of things can increase your fuel usage including windscreen wipers, car radios, air conditioning and heating but of course these things can’t be avoided for the most part.

Here are a few fuel saving tips which you may find useful for your Murcia Airport car hire.

Don’t accelerate too quickly – It is easier on fuel if you accelerate gradually. Not ideal if you are in a hurry but worth keeping in mind.

Don’t drive too fast – You will use twice as much fuel at a steady 70mph as you would at a steady 40mph. It is recommended to travel between 40 and 60mph to get the best value from your fuel.

Change gears at the right time – As I’m sure you know the correct time to change gears is when the speed you are travelling can be held in the next gear without changing the accelerator pressure. If you are changing gears and hear a loud surging sound from your engine this means you are not being as fuel efficient as you could be.

Correct use of brakes – Try to look ahead and know as soon as possible when you will need to brake. Simply easing off the accelerator rather than having to break suddenly will save fuel.

Avoid traffic – Do your best to avoid traffic. Stop start traffic can be tough on fuel costs. Try to plan ahead and find routes with as little traffic as possible.
