Driving Habits That Save Most
- Smooth acceleration — hard acceleration from traffic lights wastes up to 30% more fuel than gradual throttle use
- Anticipate traffic — coasting to a natural stop instead of hard braking saves fuel and brakes
- Reduce highway speed — driving at 100–110 km/h instead of 120+ saves 10–15% fuel
- Avoid unnecessary idling — engine off if waiting more than 90 seconds
AC and Fuel Economy
AC increases fuel use by 10–20% in Qatar’s summer. Pre-cool by opening windows briefly before switching to recirculate. Set temperature to 22–24°C rather than the minimum. Once the cabin is cool, reduce fan speed rather than keeping it at maximum.
Maintenance That Directly Improves Economy
- Fresh air filter — replace every 10,000–15,000 km in Qatar
- Correct tyre pressure — every 5 PSI low adds 1–2% to fuel use
- Fresh engine oil — on schedule with correct viscosity
- New spark plugs — misfires waste significant fuel
Remove Excess Weight
Every 50 kg of extra weight increases fuel use by approximately 1%. Remove roof racks when not in use — they add 5–10% aerodynamic drag at motorway speeds.
