After refueling, tilt the fuel pump nozzle vertically; this will reveal any remaining fuel in the line.

Saving fuel largely depends on the driver's driving style, habits of pressing the accelerator, brake, and steering pedals, but there are also small tips that have a significant impact on a car's fuel consumption.

Refueling properly also helps save fuel.

According to Howcast, those 8 tips cover how to use the air conditioner, refuel, and park efficiently. Specifically, they are as follows:

1. Turn on the air conditioner when it's hot.

Air conditioning doesn't consume as much fuel as people think; at high speeds, opening windows or the sunroof increases wind resistance, resulting in higher fuel consumption than when the air conditioner is on.

2. Do not fill the gas tank completely.

Fill up with just the right amount of fuel for your journey; the less fuel you use and the lighter the car, the more fuel-efficient it will be.

3. Tips for refueling

After refueling, tilt the fuel nozzle straight down into the tank; you will get an additional half cup of fuel remaining in the pipe.

4. Avoid evaporation.

Prevent gasoline from evaporating by tightening the fuel cap and parking in a shady spot.

5. Drive through gear.

Driving in a higher gear helps lower the engine RPM, and lower RPM means the car uses less fuel.

6. Stay in the correct lane.

Stay in your lane and minimize lane changes, because the more you swerve and change lanes, the more fuel your car will consume.

7. Cruise control

Using this technology when driving on highways helps stabilize speed and increase driving range by 7%. However, it is not effective on mixed roads or city streets.

8. Turn off electronic systems and air conditioning.

Before turning off the engine, turn off these systems first. This action helps reduce the load on the engine when restarting, resulting in fuel savings.
