		<![CDATA[Using full synthetic oil will generally deliver at least 4% difference ( improvement) compared to mineral grade equivalent plus protection benefits and cleaner pistons. 1% molybdenum disulphide in engine oil gives on average around 4% gain in fuel consumption based on many years study. (AR Landsdown) and far less oil oxidation, and approx 40% reduction in wear.]]></description>

		<title>Turbo gas engines</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1102/Turbo-gas-engines</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[While minimizing accelerator input is one of the best tips to save fuel in any car, pickup, van or powered two or three wheeler of any fuel type, with respect to a vehicle powered by a down-sized gas turbo, this is even more important. The only time these engines save beyond larger NA engines is when the turbo (s) aren&#039;t spooling, giving a displacement advantage beyond the bigger engine. Pushing hard on the accelerator spools turbo (s), air and fuel gush in, and you rocket forward, just like a V8, burning the same fuel or worse.]]></description>

		<title>Always fill up your tank</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1101/Always-fill-up-your-tank</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[I saw a tip saying not to fill up your tank because it&#039;s extra weight, and that you should only fill up a little and watch for fuel prices to buy a little more when you get a good price.<br />
This is not a good process to follow and I want to provide a counter-tip. Paying attention to local gas station prices is always a good idea. You should always fill up your tank though. The weight is negligible compared to always stopping at a gas station to fill. Every time you stop and start your car you&#039;re using fuel to get in and out of the gas station. Save yourself not only the time (for many reasons), but also some money by filling up your tank.]]></description>

		<title>remember green light &quot;pileup&quot;</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1099/remember-green-light-pileup</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[Many people know to release the throttle when you see car tailights ahead, before you see the red light. But when the light is just turning green, there&#039;s a tendancy to push the throttle again. This is wrong, because there will be a delay as people are starting through the green light. Instead, keep coasting until you see the car in front moving faster than you. Done properly, you often don&#039;t need to brake at all.]]></description>

		<description>
		<![CDATA[Your speedometer could be off a few miles per hour if your car can be bought new with different size wheels. Check your speed against a GPS to see if they match, and if not, you can tell just how fast you are really going with the GPS. ]]></description>

		<title>Minimise your input!</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1097/Minimise-your-input</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[Plan a long way ahead. Easing the throttle gently and early &ndash; or braking early if necessary &ndash; requires less gas to get back to optimum cruising speed. Steering should also be minimal. Centrifugal force saps forward momentum. Of course, bends must be negotiated; however, by looking far ahead, steering inputs can be made in one smooth &#039;ease in, ease out&#039; motion. Aim to reduce the radius of turns whilst maintaining the longest view*. *Straightening bends should only be considered if the whole road can be seen to be clear right through the exit (and you know you are not about to be overtaken); and road signs and markings do not prohibit it!]]></description>

		<title>Staying Alive - Have An Exit Plan</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1096/Staying-Alive---Have-An-Exit-Plan</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[While driving or stopped always maintain a path of escape.  The main element here is to keep distance between you and other vehicles.  The more distance you place between yourself and other moving vehicles gives you valuable time to react effectively.  In addition when coming to a stop try and maintain a vehicle and a half of distance between you and the other car. This will seem odd at first but trust me it&#039;s important. If you get into this habit and remain aware of your surroundings this can give you the ability of always being able to move forward or out of the way from an out of control or distract vehicle coming up behind you.]]></description>

		<description>
		<![CDATA[Warming cars via idling is not recommended by any manufacturer; wastes fuel; unnecessarily pollutes; can cause excessive engine wear, especially diesels. Just start; wait  ten seconds; and then go easy until normal coolant operating temperature. This method  lets all the vehicle systems warm up together. In extreme cold, one may need to warm the engine in order to keep the windshield clear, but most times, its best just to bundle up; scrape off the windshield; start; and go.]]></description>

		<title>Avoid Cruise Control </title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1090/Avoid-Cruise-Control-</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[Cruise control its a great tool for confort, but I&acute;ve noticed it consume more fuel engaged since its not flexible with speed you set. If you are looking for fuel economy, drive with feather feet, alowing small increases or decreases in speed depending on the higway inclination. Being flexible in order of 5 to 10 kmh will allow you to play with inercia instead of the non-flexible cruise control mantaining strictly the speed you set.]]></description>

		<description>
		<![CDATA[Plan ahead and don&#039;t brake or accelerate hard or unnecessarily. when you&#039;re coming to a junction or set of lights lift off and let your momentum carry you there using minimal braking. When you&#039;re driving on hilly roads try to use the landscape to your advantage by slowing down uphill and gaining speed downhill, especially if you&#039;ve got another uphill climb afterwards. Don&#039;t accelerate downhill if you need to slow down near the end, if you need to slow down allot downshift (rev matching if you can) and lift your foot completely off the throttle.]]></description>

		<title>Try using the free WAZE smartphone app</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1087/Try-using-the-free-WAZE-smartphone-app</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[The Waze smartphone app reports a user&rsquo;s real-time speed and location[1] to a central system. That system then reports real-time traffic conditions to all Waze users. You can use this info just by glancing at your phone to see how traffic is flowing along a known route, and then planning accordingly. You can also use Waze to automatically route you to your destination. Waze will automatically revise the route as traffic conditions change for better or worse.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s worth a try.<br />
___<br />
[1] No personally identifiable data transmitted. Waze stops transmitting when you put it to Sleep. Very little data is consumed from your data plan.]]></description>

		<title>Use &ldquo;Recirculate&rdquo; setting for A/C in hot weather</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1085/Use-Recirculate-setting-for-AC-in-hot-weather</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[In hot weather, your car&rsquo;s air conditioner works less hard (and saves fuel) if you recirculate the already cooled cabin air, rather than continuously cooling hot outside air before it enters your cabin. Less A/C compressor load equals less fuel consumed. Additionally, this might save fuel by needing/using a lower cabin fan speed. Your car&rsquo;s engine drives the alternator, which recharges the battery and feeds the car&rsquo;s electrical load. A lower electrical load equals less fuel consumption.]]></description>

		<title>Don&#039;t keep pouring gas in after the pump has auto clicked</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1084/Dont-keep-pouring-gas-in-after-the-pump-has-auto-c</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[Modern cars - for the last 25 years or so have had a charcoal filled evaporation canister attached to the refueling system to capture fuel vapors and prevent them from escaping to the atmosphere.  Yes - you can slowly keep pouring gas in after the pump has automatically clicked off as several people on here have said to do...but guess where that gas goes?  It&#039;s not in the tank.  It&#039;s overflowing into the evap cannister and will eventually damage your emissions system.  Simply put - don&#039;t do this.  Stop when the pump shuts off. ]]></description>

		<title>test your odometer accuracy</title>

		<description>
		<![CDATA[Compare your odometer to interstate mile markers. Your speedometer may read 2-3 mph low, but your odometer may be different. Do at least 25 miles, 50 is better. Also odometer error changes over time as tires wear and diameter decreases. Check every 10,000 miles.]]></description>

		<title>white spirit</title>

		<description>
		<![CDATA[In a diesel car pour 0,75L bottle of white spirit (uk) into the tank 20-30 miles before filling up (cheapest in Home Bargains). White spirit is virtually the same as Liqui Molly Diesel Purge but for the fraction of the cost. Helps with a rough idle and improves spray pattern of the injectors if they are gummed up. ]]></description>

		<title>Coast to Red</title>
		<link>https://www.fuelly.com/tips/1081/Coast-to-Red</link>
		<description>
		<![CDATA[If the light is red the distance ahead, coast instead..............<br />
Drivers (most of us) have the tendency to accelerate to a stop lights. Logically, it doesn&#039;t make sense.. but we do it habitually. <br />
<br />
Rather than waste extra gas to get to the stop light only to waste all of the Kinetic Energy in braking, just relax and coast. The stop light will come soon enough. If you make this a habit, you will discover that often you coast gently into the light turning green and you don&#039;t even have to brake! It may bug the person behind you a bit, but you also saved them some gas too :)]]></description>
