Things You Can Do To Use Your Fuel Efficiently And Effectively

Now that fuel prices have gone up, we must find ways to help us get out of the most of the fuel we use. Here are some of the things that we can do:

1. Plan your journey. Before you open the car door and drive away, you need to determine where do you want to go and how do you get there. Don't go around in circles or travel over the same route twice. Do use the shortest route between two points.

2. Lighten your car load. Look in your car boots or under the seats. Are they things that you can leave at home? That extra kilogram of stuff you drive around with will cost some fuel. Maybe it's also time to lose some kilograms on you as well.

3. Carpool to and from work. If two office mates carpool, it means they can halve their fuel bill. Think if four people do it.

4. Use public transportation. While it doesn't provide freedom of travel, public transportation may give a cheaper option to us if considered properly.

5. Use alternative means of transportation. Ride a motorbike instead of driving a car. Ride a bicycle to work. Drive a smaller car or a car with a smaller engine size.

6. Lastly, if possible, explore the possibility to work at home. These days most of us have access to the Internet and own a mobile phone. We can communicate much better.
