Seven Ways To Beat Kenya’s High Fuel Prices

On Tuesday, September 14, there was an uproar among Kenyans after the government raised fuel prices by up to ksh.8.

The increase in fuel prices has left many to wonder how they would fuel their cars now that the country’s economy is also at its lowest. Well, there is a way these motorists can use to make sure they spend less on fueling their cars.

A motorist can spend less on fuel by minimizing the rate at which he visits the pump by making sure his vehicle consumes the least amount of fuel.

Below are some ways a motorist can ensure his car consumes the least amount of fuel;

Drive when you need to.

The best way you can reduce your car’s fuel consumption is by driving when necessary. If you are not planning to go for a long-distance, you can consider taking a walk or use your bicycle.

This will enable you to save money at the pump as well as enable you to engage in some physical exercise.

Make Sure your gas cap is properly closed.

You might not be getting your desired mileage because you don’t have enough gas in your tank. A huge amount of gas is lost every day due to evaporation, why? Because most motorists don’t tighten their gas caps. You should, therefore, make sure your gas cap is tight to make sure you don’t lose a lot of fuel through evaporation.

Accelerate and brake steadily.

You should always apply steady and consistent pressure to the car’s accelerator’s pedal while driving. A heavy foot leads to reduced gas mileage and poor fuel consumption.

Make sure you have proper tire inflation.

Always make sure you have a proper air pressure level as per your car’s owner’s manual. Improper tire inflation can reduce your car’s fuel economy by around five percent in some cases. This implies that you will be wasting your car’s fuel.

Drive within the speed limit.

Try driving at or near the stipulated speed limit of your car. When you drive your car faster, exceeding its speed limit, its gas mileage and fuel consumption will worsen.

Coast when you can. 

Constantly accelerating and braking waste your car’s gas as well as reduces its fuel consumption. You should therefore coast when possible to avoid burning excess fuel.

Use cruise control on the highways. 

Cruise control implies that your vehicle will be moving at a constant speed, with no acceleration. Without acceleration, your car’s engine will not have a lot of work to do hence less gas consumption.

You should set your cruise control at 80 km/hr for better fuel efficiency.
