Fuel-Saving Tips for Mazda Owners

Mazda vehicles, especially those featuring Skyactiv Technology, are engineered for top efficiency. Here's how you can maximise it:

• Maintain Tyre Pressure
  Check your tyre pressures regularly to match the manufacturer's recommended levels. Under-inflated tyres can lower mileage significantly.
• Use Cruise Control on Motorways
  Engage cruise control during long drives to maintain a steady speed and reduce unnecessary fuel use.
• Remove Unnecessary Weight
  Clear out heavy items from your boot and remove roof racks when not needed — lighter vehicles use less fuel.
• Drive Smoothly
  Take full advantage of Mazda’s responsive handling by avoiding harsh acceleration or braking.
• Stay on Top of Maintenance
  Regular servicing keeps your engine running efficiently and prolongs your Mazda’s life.
  
• Use the Correct Fuel
  Use the recommended fuel grade for your model to achieve maximum performance and efficiency.

General Fuel-Saving Tips for All Drivers

No matter what brand you drive, these fuel-saving basics always apply:

• Drive Smoothly
  Gentle acceleration and braking saves fuel and reduces wear on your car.
• Plan Your Trips
  Combine errands to avoid multiple short journeys — engines are least efficient when cold.
• Keep Your Vehicle Maintained
  Regular servicing helps prevent small issues from becoming big fuel-wasting problems.
  
• Check and Change Your Air Filter
  A dirty air filter can cut fuel economy by up to 10%.
• Be Smart with Air Conditioning
  At low speeds, open windows instead of using AC. At higher speeds, use AC wisely to stay aerodynamic.
• Always Use the Right Fuel
  Check your owner's manual for the correct fuel type and stick to it.
