Saving fuel in your Volkswagen vehicle is easier than you think

Saving fuel in your Volkswagen vehicle is easier than you think

With the rising cost of fuel, everybody is looking to improve the fuel efficiency of their vehicle. Luckily, with a Volkswagen vehicle, this is easier than you think. Your Volkswagen vehicle comes with a range of technologies that make it easier to save fuel, and by simply adjusting the way you drive you can achieve significant fuel economy gains. Here are a few tips that will help you save fuel in your Volkswagen vehicle.

 

Use the features offered in your Volkswagen

 

Your Volkswagen vehicle comes with a range of features including an ECO mode which makes it a lot easier to save on fuel. When you select ECO drive mode, the most important and critical functions related to fuel economy are adjusted in order to make it easier drive in a more fuel-efficient manner. The gearbox and engine output are modified as are the different climate functions in order to achieve greater efficiency without making significant changes to how you are driving your vehicle.

 

Keep an eye on your tires

 

Your tires play a critical role in the fuel economy of your vehicle. You want to make sure that they are inflated properly and that they are in good condition. If your tires are not in good condition, rolling resistance increases which leads to higher fuel consumption. If you need to replace your summer tires, give our tire centre a call as we have many tires that are designed specifically for improved fuel economy. It is also a good time to have your vehicle serviced to make sure that it is in good condition, and that all of your filters and engine components are clean.

 

Decrease your speed

 

The speed at which you are driving has a major impact on fuel consumption. Studies have shown that the difference in fuel consumption between driving at 120 km/h and 100 km/h on the highway is about 20%. On a 100 km journey, the time difference is only about 10 minutes but the fuel economy gains are significant. You can save a lot of fuel simply by decreasing your speed.
