How to Save Petrol When Driving in Malaysia: 10 Easy Tips! 🚗💨
Fuel prices in Malaysia may fluctuate, but one thing stays the same—every driver wants to save petrol! Whether you’re driving a compact Perodua Myvi or a fuel-guzzling SUV, adopting fuel-efficient driving habits can help you save money at the pump.
Here are 10 simple and effective ways to reduce petrol consumption and make the most of every litre!
1. Drive Smoothly & Avoid Sudden Acceleration
Pressing hard on the accelerator might feel fun, but it burns more fuel than necessary. Instead, accelerate gradually and maintain a steady speed whenever possible.
✔ Tip: Use gentle pressure on the pedal and avoid sudden stops!
2. Maintain a Consistent Speed
Driving at a constant speed improves fuel efficiency. If your car has cruise control, use it on highways to avoid unnecessary acceleration and deceleration.
✔ Tip: The ideal fuel-saving speed is between 70-90km/h on highways.
3. Keep Your Tyres Properly Inflated
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance, forcing your engine to work harder and consume more petrol.
✔ Tip: Check your tyre pressure at least once a month (refer to your car manual for recommended PSI).
4. Reduce Unnecessary Weight in Your Car
Carrying heavy loads in the boot increases fuel consumption. Remove unnecessary items like tools, sports gear, or extra bags that add weight.
✔ Tip: Travel light—every 50kg extra weight increases fuel usage by 2%!
5. Avoid Excessive Idling
Leaving your engine running while waiting burns fuel unnecessarily. If you’re stopped for more than 1 minute, turn off the engine!
✔ Tip: In a traffic jam, avoid excessive air-conditioning to reduce fuel consumption.
6. Use the Right Motor Oil
Low-quality or incorrect engine oil creates more friction, making your car work harder and burn more fuel.
✔ Tip: Use fuel-efficient motor oil with the right viscosity recommended for your car.
7. Plan Your Routes & Avoid Traffic Jams
Wasting petrol in a jam is frustrating! Use apps like Waze or Google Maps to check for real-time traffic updates and take alternative routes.
✔ Tip: Plan trips wisely to avoid rush hours (7-9 AM & 5-8 PM in KL).
8. Turn Off the Air-Cond When Not Needed
In Malaysia’s hot weather, we love our air-cond! But did you know that running the AC increases fuel consumption?
✔ Tip: Set your air-cond to low or medium instead of max cooling.
9. Use High-Quality Fuel
Using RON97 instead of RON95 won’t necessarily save you fuel unless your car requires it. Stick to the recommended fuel type for your engine.
✔ Tip: Some petrol stations offer fuel additives that claim to improve mileage—check reviews before using them!
10. Service Your Car Regularly
A well-maintained car is more fuel-efficient! Dirty air filters, old spark plugs, and clogged fuel injectors can increase petrol consumption.
✔ Tip: Follow your car’s service schedule and use quality engine parts.
Final Thoughts: Small Changes, Big Savings! 💰
Fuel efficiency isn’t just about saving money—it also reduces your carbon footprint and helps the environment. By adopting these fuel-saving habits, you can cut down on petrol costs while enjoying a smoother driving experience.
