Fuel-efficient driving is more important than ever in Sri Lanka, as the country is currently facing a foreign currency crisis. The cost of importing fuel and other petroleum products is a significant contributor to the country’s economic struggles.
By driving efficiently, you can save money on fuel and help reduce the demand for imported fuel. This can help ease the strain on the country’s foreign currency reserves and potentially lower fuel prices for everyone.
Driving efficiently can save you money on fuel and help reduce your carbon footprint and improve your vehicle’s overall performance and longevity.
Here are some tips for fuel-efficient driving in Sri Lanka:
Keep your tires properly inflated: Underinflated tires can increase fuel consumption by up to 3%. Check your tire pressure regularly and inflate to the recommended level.
There are several types of fuel-efficient vehicles available, including:
These vehicles are powered entirely by electricity, which makes them a zero-emission option. They are generally more fuel-efficient than gas-powered vehicles, especially when charged with renewable energy. Eg Nissan Leaf
These vehicles combine a gas engine with an electric motor, which allows them to switch between the two power sources depending on the driving conditions. This can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Fuel efficiency describes the vehicle’s fuel consumption performance. Anything that is listed as less than 6 litres/100km or more than 16.5km/1 litre is considered to be pretty good.
By following these fuel-efficient driving tips, you can save money on fuel and do your part to reduce your carbon footprint. Happy driving!
