MasterDrive CEO Eugene Herbert said basic driving adjustments could help with petrol and diesel consumption:
- Anticipate changes to traffic conditions and minimise unnecessary braking and acceleration.
- Reducing speed by 20km/h can reduce fuel consumption by 20%.
- Plan your route and use traffic apps and alerts to avoid traffic jams and congestion.
- Keep your RPMs around 3 000 as it can also reduce your consumption by 20%.
- Regular maintenance improves fuel efficiency.
