Staying below 90 kph uses about 20 per cent less fuel than speeding at 110 kph. 2. Accelerate smoothly and steadily. Sudden starts force too much fuel into the engine, fuel that just gets wasted instead of being burned efficiently. 3. Brake slowly and evenly. Antici- pate stops and ease up on the accelerator earlier. 4. Using the recommended octane grade for your car, avoiding un- necessary idling and using an automatically timed block heater in winter are other easy ways to cut down on energy use... and cost.
