By installing a free flow air filter it will allow your car to breathe easier and take in more air and thus more Oxygen. This will in turn make your car’s engine more efficient and more responsive; it will also help to save fuel.

Manufacturers will advise changing the oil in your car’s engine between 10,000 to 20,000 miles. At Perfect Touch we believe that changing your oil every 5,000 to 8,000 miles will benefit your car’s performance, reliability and very importantly your driving experience. Also regular and frequent oil changes with premium semi & fully synthetic oils will mean even less visits to the petrol station.

How often do we carry unessential items in the boot of our cars? Just think of it this way… weight in the car means less money in your pocket, every item in your car is costing you fuel. So basically, clear out anything that is not essential to your every day motoring.

Your car draws electricity from its engine, the more electrical items you have on at any one time the harder your engine will have to work to provide that energy. The harder your engine works the more fuel it will use, by being selective about what you have on while driving will save you fuel.

Keep your climate control usage to a minimum where possible; at low speeds open windows with the air con off, above 45mph close the windows and circulate the internally cooled air, this avoids cooling warm air from outside the car. On hot days park your car in shaded areas where ever possible, this will reduce the amount of cooling you need to make the inside of the car comfortable. Regular servicing of your air conditioning system will keep it working at its best, thus it will not have to work as hard keep your car cool.

Keep your tyres filled at the correct pressure, low tyre pressure will cause your car to use your fuel and wear your tyres; this is both costly and will impact the environment. Nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules, this will mean less tyre filling, and it will maintain your cars tyre pressures, and this in turn will save you fuel and money.

Going easy on the accelerator pedal will probably do more for your fuel consumption than anything else you can do. By changing your driving style you will not only save fuel but your servicing and maintenance costs will be reduced as well. Think of your accelerator pedal as an egg, be gentle and smooth and take your foot off the pedal well before you have to use the brakes, rolling and stopping gently will save on your fuel costs.
