9 tips to make your Land Rover fuel efficient

1. Easy on the ignition, the pedal, and the brakes: Quick starts and hard braking can increase fuel consumption. Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Improve your fuel economy by driving slower and with fewer mashing of the gas pedal.

2. Avoid idling: Idling your vehicle wastes fuel. If you're not going to be moving in the next 30 seconds, turn off your car to conserve gas. Unless, of course, you're in the middle of EDSA.

3. Check tire inflation: Under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption. Check tire pressure at least once a month before you leave your house. If under-inflated, take to a gas station or use a portable compressor to add air.

4. Air Conditioner: Using the air conditioner on a hot day increases fuel consumption in city driving. If you're cruising around town at low speed, roll down the window, if possible. On highways on the otherhand, having the aircon on may be more efficient versus the wind resistance from open windows.

5. Use the right fuel: Premium, high-octane fuel aren't necessarily the best choice for your car. Higher prices don't guarantee better performance.

6. Shut off all accessories in your vehicles: Before turning off the car, makes sure all gadgets are turned off as well. Starting your vehicle with these turned on causes the alternator to work harder thereby increasing fuel consumption.

7. Check your gas cap: Did you know that gas evaporates into air if the fuel cap isn't properly closed? There goes your money and fuel economy. If you don't tighten your gas cap to at least the second click, you will lose gas due to evaporation.

8. Optimize your engine: Have your spark plugs and air filter checked and replace if needed. Make sure that you also regularly change your oil as clean oil reduces friction on moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine.

9. Remove unecessary accessories: Land Rovers are heavy enough; don’t add extra weight unless you really need the additional equipment. This means roof racks, winches and other accessories that makes your Rover look tough but weakens your spending power. Additional accessories, especially the heavy ones weighs the vehicle down and reduce fuel economy.
