Every mile counts: transform your driving into pure savings.

Slide and put into practice the secrets to squeezing every drop of fuel.

Tips for efficient driving

Adopting a "smooth" driving style can reduce your fuel consumption by up to 15 % without investing in extra technology. Change gear before 2,500 rpm for gasoline engines (2,000 rpm for diesel) to maintain the optimal speed. When driving, look for a constant speedUse cruise control on the highway to avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. When stopped at traffic lights or in traffic jams, turn off the engine if the stop exceeds 30 seconds, provided your car has a start-stop function or does not pose a traffic hazard. Minimize air conditioning use: at speeds below 80 km/h, ventilate by opening the windows; at high speeds, turn it on at low power. And, very importantly, brake early: Release the accelerator when approaching an obstacle and let the momentum reduce your speed before applying the brakes. This saves fuel injection energy and prolongs the life of the brake pads and discs.

Maintenance that improves performance

A well-maintained vehicle consumes less fuel. Check the alignment of the wheels every 10,000 km: an unbalanced geometry increases rolling resistance. Check the tire pressure weekly; keeping them inflated as indicated by the manufacturer improves efficiency by up to 4 %. Change the air and fuel filters according to the maintenance plan: a clogged filter forces the engine to work harder. Use recommended oil by the manufacturer (correct viscosity and specification), as a suitable lubricant reduces internal friction. Also, regularly clean injectors and valves with maintenance additives to optimize combustion. Finally, remove luggage racks or roof racks when not needed: aerodynamically, they are a hindrance that penalizes your fuel consumption.

Future technologies

The horizon of economical mobility expands every year. microhybrids 48V are now common: they recover energy from braking to power auxiliaries and deactivate the engine more smoothly. pure electrics They reduce their road costs to zero, and improved batteries are boosting their ranges to over 400 km. regenerative charging During descents and braking, it is enhanced with more intelligent systems, storing up to 30 % of the kinetic energy. shared mobility (car-sharing) is gaining ground: sharing an efficient vehicle among several people multiplies overall savings and reduces emissions. We will soon reach connected ecosystems, where your car, the city, and your calendar communicate to optimize routes and avoid traffic jams in real time.

Apps and tools to measure consumption

Controlling your numbers is easier with technology:

• Fuelio (Android/iOS): Records refueling, calculates cost per km, and notifies you of maintenance.
• Waze (Android/iOS): Its “smooth driving” indicator helps you avoid traffic and save gas.
• Eco-driving In car rental services: some providers include real-time consumption metrics.
• On-board meters: Apps that, when connected to the OBD-II port, instantly display your consumption in l/100 km or kWh/100 km.
• Google Maps and Apple MapsThe fastest route isn't always the most efficient; use the "avoid highways" or "avoid tolls" options to find more economical routes.
