Ways to cut your fuel bill
Driving habits
- Hold a steady 60–80 km/h on open roads
- Ease off the throttle instead of hard braking
- Use cruise control on highways where possible
- Shift up early in manual cars
Vehicle upkeep
- Check tyre pressure monthly — under-inflated tyres drag mileage down
- Keep up with engine servicing and air filter changes
- Use the manufacturer-recommended engine oil grade
- Clear out extra weight you're not using on the trip

Frequently asked questions
How is fuel cost calculated?
Divide the distance by your vehicle's mileage to get litres needed, then multiply by the price per litre. A 300 km trip at 15 kmpl needs 20 litres, so at ₹100/litre that's ₹2,000.
What if I don't know my vehicle's mileage?
Check your owner's manual for the rated figure, or estimate it yourself: reset your trip meter at a full tank, drive normally, then divide the distance covered by the litres used to refill.
Do driving style and traffic affect fuel cost?
Yes. Stop-and-go city traffic and hard acceleration can cut real-world mileage by 20–30% compared with steady highway driving, so actual cost often runs higher than the rated mileage suggests.
Does running the AC use extra fuel?
It does, typically a modest increase that's more noticeable in city driving at low speeds than on the highway, where open windows can cost more through wind resistance than the AC would.
Are the city fuel prices above accurate right now?
Treat them as illustrative starting points, not live prices. Petrol and diesel rates change daily and vary by state tax, so check your local pump or a fuel price app for today's number.
Figures are estimates for planning purposes and don't account for traffic, terrain or driving style on the day.
