Rising fuel prices and growing interest in eco driving are making efficiency a top priority for drivers in Saudi Arabia. Whether it is about saving money at the pump or reducing wear and tear, increasing your car’s efficiency means smarter performance, fewer emissions, and better long-term value. In this article, we look at two key ways to instantly boost your vehicle’s performance without spending a fortune.
Regular service is still the number one way to make sure your car performs at its best. Clean engine oil cuts down on friction and keeps combustion efficient. Changing filters for air and fuel helps the engine breathe better and improves mileage by up to 10 percent.
Drivers in Saudi Arabia should also inspect spark plugs. If these get worn out, they lead to poor combustion and wasted fuel. Another easy habit is checking tire pressure. Even a small drop in pressure can raise fuel use by 0.3 percent for every PSI lost.
Following these simple steps every few months keeps your car running smoother and lowers fuel costs, especially on long desert drives.
How you drive has a massive effect on how much fuel your car burns. In Saudi Arabia’s highways and cities, smooth acceleration and gentle braking can lower your fuel use by up to 20 percent. Driving between 90 and 110 kilometers per hour is often the sweet spot for the best fuel economy.
It is also smart to turn off the engine at long red lights or while waiting. On highways, use cruise control to avoid speed swings that eat up gas.
These habits not only help save money, they also reduce wear on tires and brakes, giving your car a longer, healthier life.
