How to save fuel this winter

How to save fuel this winter

Winter can be hard on our vehicle. It is not only tough on the mechanics of our car, but it also has the unfortunate tendency to increase the fuel consumption of our vehicle. However, it is possible to reduce the impact of winter and especially cold on the fuel consumption using a few simple tricks.

Avoid letting the engine idle

Nobody likes getting into a cold vehicle, we know that. But the reality is that it is while driving that we warm up the cabin of our vehicle as quickly as possible. In addition, we save fuel this way. Once you have warmed up the engine, another tip is to make as many trips as possible in order to take full advantage of the fuel economy benefits of an engine that’s warm.

Make sure your vehicle is serviced

A vehicle in good shape mechanically will always be more economical. Especially in winter. Doing maintenance on our vehicle before the arrival of winter protects it, but it also helps us improve fuel efficiency.

Reduce weight

Avoid carrying your hockey gear for the entire week or leaving your ski rack on the roof. Weight is the enemy of efficiency.
