What is the take on nitrogen gas for your tyres? Does it really reduce fuel consumption?
Comment from : @russelljohdannoelehrenreic3480

Less friends saves fuelbrbrOne girlfriend also saves a lot of fuel
Comment from : @sazisomnyandu9546

What really works is pump your tyres 02 bar more than manufactured recommendation Will help reduce fuel consumption not any more than that
Comment from : @grant2149

The best advice you gave the i saw working for me is "Changing the way i drive" taking it easy on the accelerator really taught me good lesson on fuel saving

Here l was thinking putting a car in neutral saves boy was l wrong 😅😂 4:43
Comment from : @theredcanon

The 1st topic of this video speaks about speed maintenance to avoid slowing down or braking, this is when you now find those fast lane hoggers in the morning causing traffic simply because they don’t want to exceed a certain speed and also do not want to reduce or brake
Comment from : @releM15

Your advice works!!!!

Driving 120 my car gives me 95 km on a liter Driving 55km it gives me 20km on a liter I drive 55 thank you very much, and I do get from point a to point b It takes me 4 hours to do 150km It takes 4seconds to crash at 120 and loose your life
Comment from : @Gardencourtlandscaping

Covered 800km per full tank of Golf 7 GTI travelling at 120 km per hour ❤
Comment from : @paulmaunatlala7016

quickly change gears to top gear before you reach 60/70 km/s depending whether its 5 speed or 6 speed forward manual gear!
Comment from : @vuyanimaster2212

My thirsty vehicles are used for towing a caravan Speed makes a massive difference to fuel consumption while towing I found almost 15 improvement in efficiency by decreasing towing speed from 100kph to 90kph on the GPS And on an average day it only cost about 30-40 minutes longer traveling time
Comment from : @LangChrisSmal

To those who love "give me a lift", did you hear more people more fuel
Comment from : @giftpheko4119

Wheel alignment very important too, for smooth rolling of your wheels and engine 😊😊
Comment from : @thandozililo7905

You nailed it Sir I noticed that warming up new cars before driving also saves lot of Petrol Manual says no need to warm up, but i suggest you warm it up if you driving short distances
Comment from : @siyabonganjabuloduma7378

just switch to electric im thinking about the move
Comment from : @MariamZohaib-o9q

For short trips go buy a PICANTO
Comment from : @Neo-RSA007

I have a Fuel Tracker spreadsheet on my phone also tracking maintenance and service costs and over time always good to see how much I spend/save on fuel, service and maintenance costsbrThank you fore sharing info and clarifying some of the myths

Thanks to 🇿🇦 inequality, we've been doing this mate, poverty will make you think outside the boxbrOnce we hustled to get some coins, we bought German, Audi fuel efficiency UI and tips taught me all this on the dashboard
Comment from : @thedarkie1

I used to travel 260km to work and back a day, went from 13,5km per litre to 19,5km per litre, yes changing driving habits helped but what helped even more was improving the engines internals and a vacuum guage 😂
Comment from : @deancrawford2577

What about tuning? Every tuner will tell you that once you do a remap, install a chip, etc you'll get better performance and fuel consumption, the last tuned car I had had a JB4 and honestly speaking I didn't care about fuel consumption and here in Botswana fuel is still relatively cheaper

Nice thank you

Very good video

Buy a suzuki
Comment from : @fido5067

Momentum is very important less braking, tire pressure, windows for less drag Clean spark plugs and airfilter and coasting when going down hill but you must be careful and be ready to go into gears to slow down
Comment from : @JuicyJLee

Thanks for the advice, also pouring fuel in the morning is much better than doing it in the afternoon while it hot
Comment from : @lufunovhengani246

This was very helpful

I use 4liters just to gap someone on the way to the shops 😂

Thank you for this! Not only my Uber/Bolt driver, but I'm going to show this video to my uncles and "small & large" fathers and father in laws
Comment from : @sonic4urmind722

I've done the tyre pressure one and it definitely works Also the part about putting your car in gear instead of neutral Hey that works too!
Comment from : @JBongOH

Yes, maintaining your momentum and anticipating stops and starts helps a lot In residential areas they just build more and more speedbumps and put in more and more stop streets etc which don't help especially when you are doing short distances in your residential area Will always try and save fuel, why pay more? Thanks for the great advice and recommendations!
Comment from : @LlewellynBrown-k3s

This is true brI am driving the 2021 haval Jolion auto lux brI recently filled up the tank to one click (874km’s) & reset the tripmeter I drove the car on the highway on normal mode with cruise control set at 90km/h I drove 200km’s to the destination, the remaining fuel in the tank was 842km’s
Comment from : @ntokozosangweni157

My car's recommended oil is 5w30 but it's a naturally aspirated engine Don't understand it Other manufacturers use 5w40 or even 15w40 I see a lot of diesel cars use 5w30

How to save fuel Don't drive
Comment from : @TractorChamp

Keep in mind ambient temperature and altitude influence your tyre pressure immensely I do a lot of long distance driving and always had to check and amend tyre pressure very often I now use nitrogen in my tyres which makes a big difference My tyres runs cooler and less fluctuation in tyre pressure on long journeys which saves me fuel and my tyres last longer This won't help you much if you only drive in and around the city but it works for long distance driving
Comment from : @evertgreeff7892

Good video… the tyre pressure thing is spot on - the hand held one is indeed inaccurate in most cases
Comment from : @svgs7310

this is very impossible when you have a vrrrpa and the crowd whistling
Comment from : @Angeldustza

Ciro, i just bought a Toyota urban cruiser xr manual and i was wondering if fitting a turbo to the car will help with fuel consumption I know it will void the warrenty but coming from a Ford Kuga 16 turbo, i miss the extra power Would you fit a turbo or not at all?
Comment from : @vernervanschalkwyk2280

I drive 4km to work that’s why 😮😮😂

I only have one question Should I fill my car to the brim or until first click or second click

Really good stuff comrade Ciro

When downhill I put it on neutral to save fuel
Comment from : @stilloutside

Can we have another topic about Why do cars idle at a high RPM on cold start, should I ignore and drive or wait for the RPM to be at 800rpm
Comment from : @VuyoZola

I use the driving without brakes method but try doing that with a Ford Ranger glued to your back bumper
Comment from : @brentidas2566

Another one is to make sure your air filter is in good condition and clean so that your engine can breath properly and breath clean air It's also easy to change on most cars and it's relatively cheap

Comment from : @fredericklikoro9413

Been driving a Tazz for 10yrs and most of these tips are like 2nd nature to me, I am shocked however about the driving downhill part, Im almost tempted to call you a lair, As far as I know putting it in neutral is the best way, I only put it in gear if I dont want to over speed, please make another video or send a link that goes into detail about this and engine breakingbrbrExcellent video by the way!!!
Comment from : @sifisokubheka6886

Been doing the driving without breaks for a while now and generally keep speed at 60 😂
Comment from : @lutha1720

Not having a lot of friends also saves fuelbrHaving just 1 girlfriend also saves you petrol

My experience from a driving 1litre Yaris up to a 18 Civic and everything in between- there is not much difference at all between engine sizes Ignore thise manufacturer claims as well

Very informative episode I have learned quite a lot but it is risky to speed when going down hill with South African roads

Did Muzi Sambo have anything to do with this video? What with the two road trip videos he just did
Comment from : @furn2313

Ummm thank you 🫡brBut, the neutral technique 🫣
Comment from : @mlungisimakhanya645

This was a great video but I would add one thing It actually makes sense to invest in your own tyre inflator Alot of them are much cheaper now and they save you the stress of dealing with a outside source which often may be unavailable due to theft of the hoses for instance
Comment from : @mindfreeze0838

Love the animations 🔥
Comment from : @ElMonkeySupaFreek

Do those Race Chips really work for saving fuel and are there any risks involved, especially with older vehicles?
