Saving fuel on long journeys does not have to be complicated. With small changes in the way you drive and good planning before setting off, it is possible to reduce consumption, take better care of your vehicle and travel with greater peace of mind. In addition, choosing the right place to refuel also influences the overall experience of the journey.
Check your car before setting off
Before starting a long journey, it is advisable to check basic aspects such as tyre pressure, vehicle fluid levels and the general condition of the car. Driving with incorrect tyre pressure can increase fuel consumption and affect safety. You can find more recommendations on efficient driving on the DGT website.
It is also important to avoid carrying unnecessary weight. The more loaded the vehicle is, the harder the engine has to work and the higher the fuel consumption will be.
Drive smoothly and steadily
Efficient driving is based on avoiding sudden acceleration, harsh braking and unnecessary changes in speed. Maintaining a steady speed, anticipating traffic and using the right gears helps reduce fuel consumption during the journey. IDAE also offers useful recommendations on efficient driving.
Plan your stops and refuel with confidence
Another key aspect is organising your route properly. Knowing where to stop, rest and refuel allows you to travel with less stress and avoid last-minute problems.
