The highest figures were recorded in the Netherlands, Norway and Germany. In these countries, E5 (Super Unleaded) is currently 25-30% more expensive than the European average.

When fuel costs are high, fuel efficiency becomes your customers’ #1 priority.

That’s why we are bringing you the top tips in fuel-saving techniques and therefore help your customers avoid overconsumption of fuel:

Expert Tips on Fuel Efficiency

  • Help your customers maintain regular servicing

    Regular maintenance helps your customers to avoid costly engine repairs. Preventative maintenance also prolongs the life of the vehicle.

  • Change air and fuel filters in line with vehicle recommendations

    If the filters are not replaced on time, contaminants in the air, fuel, and engine oil causes issues in the vehicle and can affect a vehicle’s performance.

  • Reset tyre pressures

    Ignoring tyre pressures for a month causes the car to lose between 1 to 2 PSi. This can result in a pressure drop which can reduce fuel economy.

  • Reduce fuel system and injector contamination

    Cleaning the fuel system and injectors removes deposits and opens the engines’ pathways that carry fuel and oxygen.

  • Clean the oil system at every oil change

    Cleaning the oil system allows the new oil to do the job it is designed to do: protect the engine components and reduce wear, restore compressions and reduce friction.

  • Improve lubrication in the oil system

    Reducing the friction between the engine surfaces prevents the loss of power generated within the engine cylinders.

  • If the vehicle is fitted with DPF, use a regenerator

    Using a DPF regenerator regularly helps soot build-up to burn away more easily.
