Saving fuel doesn’t always depend on the vehicle you drive. In fact, the way you drive and where you refuel can make a big difference. At Alas Estaciones, we want to help you get the most out of every litre with these efficient driving tips.
Maintain correct tyre pressure
Tyres with low pressure can increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %. Check the pressure at least once a month and before long trips. At Alas Stations, free gauges are available to make this easy.
Use gear shifts efficiently
Drive smoothly and shift gears between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm in petrol engines, or between 1,500 and 2,000 rpm in diesel engines. Avoiding sudden acceleration reduces fuel consumption and engine wear.
Mind your car’s aerodynamics
Carrying a roof rack, bike rack, or driving with windows open at high speed increases air resistance, and therefore fuel consumption. Remove accessories when not needed and keep your car clean: dirt also affects airflow.
Avoid idling and unnecessary braking
Turn off the engine if you’re stopping for more than a minute. Plan your routes in advance and drive proactively, maintaining a steady speed.
Choose high-quality fuels
At Alas Estaciones, our fuels meet the highest quality standards. They provide cleaner combustion, improve engine efficiency, and extend its lifespan, helping you save fuel without changing your car.
