Fuel Consumption

My Car has a function in the onboard computer that tells you your average fuel consumption as well as your current fuel consumption. I find this very handy as I try compete with myself (sad aren't I?) to see how low I can maintain it.

This helps me in that I now plan my routes around Durban to use as little fuel as posisble. I use motorways so that I don't stop continuously and I try avoid long, slow hills.

I've also started driving with upward pressure on my right foot. What that means is that instead of pressing down on the gas continuously, I get to my speed, then I lift my foot slowly until just before it starts to slow down then thats where I keep the pressure. It really helps keep your fuel economy right down and saves quite a bit of money.

Try it and see...
