Fuel Fund Office Advises on How to Drive to Save Up to 40% on Fuel

"Fuel Fund Office" Recommends how to drive to save money by adjusting just four behaviors to help conserve fuel by up to 40%


On 26 March 2026, the Facebook pageFuel Fund Officeposted a message titled "How to Drive to Save Money" stating that the Middle East conflict continues to have ongoing effects, causing fuel prices to rise accordingly. Every time we see the pump, it makes us anxious. However, we can fight back with four driving tips to save money, as follows.

  • Drive at 90 km/h: During the fuel price crisis, maintaining a steady speed of 90 km/h reduces air resistance most efficiently, saving 15-25% fuel compared to driving at 110 km/h or higher (the faster you drive, the more money you waste).
  • Check your tire pressure precisely to prevent money leakage. Did you know just 1 PSI underinflation causes increased fuel consumption? Simply keeping your tires inflated to the vehicle’s recommended pressure saves you 2-3% fuel per month without extra effort.
  • Accelerate smoothly without sudden bursts or wasting fuel. Pressing the accelerator fully at once causes unnecessary fuel injection. Try starting off gradually and keeping a steady speed. This technique can save 10-30% fuel (clearly more money saved).
  • Slow down by coasting to stop, using inertia instead of fuel. When approaching a red light or your destination, ease off the accelerator early and let the car roll. Reducing sudden braking can save about 5% more fuel consumption.

By simply adjusting these four behaviors, you can save up to 40% fuel in total. Let’s reduce fuel use together to promote sustainable energy.
