Why Fuel Efficiency Matters More Than Ever

Let’s say you drive 1,000 km per month and fuel costs Ksh 200/litre:

1. A car doing 10 km/l will cost you: Ksh 20,000/month
2. A car doing 22 km/l will cost you: Ksh 9,000/month

That’s an annual savings of over Ksh 130,000. Fuel-efficient cars literally pay for themselves over time.

Tips to Maximize Fuel Efficiency

Even the best cars can waste fuel if not driven properly. Here’s how to get the most out of every litre:

1. Maintain proper tire pressure
2. Avoid aggressive acceleration
3. Use higher gears when possible
4. Remove unnecessary weight
