How to Save Fuel

Fuel efficiency is one of the most frequently researched topics among vehicle owners and those planning to purchase a new car. Fuel efficiency, which enables drivers to minimize fuel consumption and cover much longer distances, is a process influenced by various factors. By learning what to do to save fuel while driving, you too can reduce your fuel costs. So, how can you save fuel? Here are the key points you need to know to improve fuel efficiency!

Different types of fuel require attention to different criteria to achieve fuel efficiency. Therefore, what needs to be done to save fuel in a gasoline vehicle may differ from what must be done in a diesel vehicle. There are also several important steps that can help you save fuel whether your vehicle runs on gasoline, diesel, or

In Türkiye, gasoline is among the most expensive fuels. Therefore, owners of gasoline-powered vehicles are often in search of ways to save fuel. The following are some key answers to the question “How can I save fuel in a gasoline vehicle?”

• Petrol Ofisi’s Active-3 technology is used in all our fuels: V/Max Diesel, V/Max Unleaded 95 Gasoline, and V/Pro Diesel.
• The first thing to pay attention to when it comes to fuel efficiency in gasoline vehicles is using the vehicle properly. In addition, ensuring regular vehicle maintenance gives you a clear advantage when it comes to saving fuel. This is because periodic maintenance procedures such as replacing spark plugs, checking air and fuel filters, maintaining the carburetor and battery, performing wheel alignment, and checking tire pressure play a critical role in reducing fuel consumption in gasoline vehicles.
• Did you know that it is better to refuel during cooler weather or in the early hours of the morning? On cooler days, gasoline is denser due to the lower temperature, allowing you to purchase fuel with less vapor. This way, you can get more liters of gasoline for the same price.
• It is also important to consistently buy your gasoline from the same brand. This allows you to better monitor how your vehicle performs with that specific fuel over time. By refueling exclusively at Petrol Ofisi, Türkiye’s leading fuel and autogas distributor, you can ensure both reliability and greater fuel efficiency.
• With Petrol Ofisi Group’s new fuels powered by Active-3 technology, you can achieve savings in both gasoline and diesel vehicles. This advanced fuel technology, developed by Petrol Ofisi, not only cleans and protects your engine but also helps you save fuel. How does it work? By cleaning the engine and its components, your vehicle can deliver the maximum performance you expect. With the engine running at full efficiency, fuel savings naturally follow.
• One of the answers to the question “Why does a gasoline vehicle consume more fuel?” is A/C usage. Many studies have shown that using the air conditioner increases fuel consumption. As completely avoiding air conditioning use is unrealistic, it is recommended to be mindful of how and when you use it. For instance, you can use the air conditioner intermittently and at lower settings.
• It is also important to adjust tire pressure according to the season. Underinflated tires in seasonal conditions increase road contact, which leads to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, to save fuel in gasoline vehicles, do not forget to regularly check tire pressure levels.

Although diesel vehicles are generally known for lower fuel consumption compared to gasoline vehicles, there are still several useful tips to save even more fuel.

• As with gasoline vehicles, make sure your tire pressure is within the range suitable for the season. Insufficient tire pressure increases friction, causing diesel vehicles to consume more fuel.
• When you start your diesel engine, waiting briefly for the engine to warm up also helps improve fuel efficiency. Once the engine reaches optimal temperature, the vehicle consumes less fuel while driving.
• Avoiding sudden braking and rapid acceleration is also crucial for fuel efficiency in diesel vehicles. Improper use of the accelerator pedal can increase fuel consumption significantly.
• If you have installed a bike rack or other load carriers on your vehicle, remember that this increases weight and air resistance, which in turn raises fuel consumption.
• If 98% of those who tried it recommend Petrol Ofisi Group’s V/Max with Active-3 technology, have you tried it yet? V/Max cleans the engine up to 100% in a single tank, eliminates irregular combustion caused by deposits, ensures complete and efficient combustion, and prevents new residue formation from the very first use—protecting the engine and enhancing its power. In addition, thanks to its fully efficient engine operation, V/Max provides up to 5% fuel savings. Experience higher fuel efficiency now with Active-3 technology V/Max Diesel!

Since LPG is more affordable than gasoline, it is a preferred fuel type for many vehicle owners. To achieve greater fuel efficiency in vehicles with LPG systems, it is important to know the following:

• Just as in gasoline and diesel vehicles, regular maintenance is the most important factor for fuel efficiency in LPG-powered vehicles. Make sure to have your vehicle serviced every 10,000 km or every six months, whichever comes first. This is a crucial step toward achieving better fuel economy.
• Always drive within the optimal RPM range of your vehicle.
• For reliable, high-quality fuel, choose Petrol Ofisi, Türkiye’s leading fuel and autogas distributor.
• As mentioned earlier, use the A/C moderately and proportionally.
• Avoid overloading your vehicle with excess weight.
• Refrain from sudden acceleration.
• Check your tire pressure regularly to ensure proper inflation levels.

There are many factors that affect vehicle fuel consumption. These can be categorized as engine-related, driver-related, and vehicle-related factors.

• Clogged air filters over time
• Improper idle adjustment
• Engine oil losing its effectiveness
• Ignition problems in spark plugs

• Carrying excessive load or installing additional accessories such as load racks or bicycle carriers
• Driving at high speeds with the windows open
• Using the A/C disproportionately
• Making sudden starts or stops
• Driving at excessively high or very low speeds
• Driving at inappropriate gear or RPM levels
• Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance

• Improper brake adjustment
• Problems with the clutch disc
• Inadequate tire pressure levels
• Worn-out spark plugs
• Neglecting air filter maintenance
• Low battery voltage or a malfunctioning alternator
• Faulty thermostat
• Malfunctioning fuel injectors

These are the fundamental factors to consider regarding fuel efficiency and fuel consumption.
