Price of the crude oil has risen unprecedentedly worldwide and affected pretty much the whole world badly. That’s bad news for people who don’t even have cars or use petroleum fuels as the price of infrastructure, services, and products is all linked directly to crude oil prices. Bear in mind that petrol and diesel are manufactured from crude oil, hence any increase in crude oil prices is bad news for the motorist, which is why the fuel price increase is hitting directly the motorist. Especially for people who are still driving conventional fuel cars, fuel economy now has all new meanings with the price of gas so high, it would matter how much mileage you can extract out of your car.
With current uncertainty and unstable conditions, this price rise may continue for a while hence it sounds like a good idea to pay a bit more attention to driving styles and fuel economy tips and plan your journey ahead.
With rising fuel costs, one thing which is on everyone’s mind is fuel efficiency and price. As we have suggested in our previous blogs fuel efficiency depends heavily on driving style and traffic conditions so it is very difficult to predict the actual cost of a particular journey however we can always estimate the costs for a particular journey.

FAQ – Journey Cost Calculator
What factors affect the efficiency and MPG of a car?
There are several factors that can affect the efficiency and miles per gallon (MPG) of a car. For example, The heavier the car, the more energy it takes to move it. A lighter car will generally be more efficient and get better MPG. A smaller engine will generally be more efficient and get better MPG. Engines that use alternative fuels or hybrid technology can also improve efficiency. The shape of the car can affect how easily it moves through the air. Cars with a more streamlined design will generally be more efficient and get better MPG. Aggressive driving, speeding, and rapid acceleration can all decrease efficiency and reduce MPG. Maintaining a steady speed and avoiding sudden stops and starts can help improve efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations, can help ensure that the car is running at peak efficiency. A poorly maintained car may have reduced efficiency and lower MPG. Different types of fuel have different energy densities and combustion characteristics, which can affect efficiency and MPG. For example, diesel engines are generally more efficient than gasoline engines.
Is driving style affects the MPG of a car?
Yes, driving style can have a significant impact on the MPG of a car. Aggressive driving, such as rapid acceleration and braking, speeding, and frequent lane changes, can all decrease efficiency and reduce MPG. In contrast, adopting a more fuel-efficient driving style, such as maintaining a steady speed, avoiding sudden stops and starts, and using cruise control on the highway, can help improve efficiency and increase MPG.
What are the best methods to increase the MPG of a car?
There are several methods that can help increase the MPG of a car. Remove any unnecessary items from the car, such as heavy bags or equipment, which can weigh down the car and reduce efficiency. Properly inflated tires can help reduce rolling resistance and improve efficiency. Check the tire pressure regularly, and make sure to inflate them to the recommended level. Using the recommended grade of motor oil can help reduce friction and improve engine efficiency. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and tune-ups, can help ensure that the car is running at peak efficiency. Avoid aggressive driving, maintain a steady speed, and avoid sudden stops and starts. Use cruise control on the highway to maintain a consistent speed and reduce fuel consumption. Combine multiple errands into one trip, and plan your route to avoid heavy traffic and stop-and-go driving. Using the air conditioning can increase fuel consumption. When possible, use the fan and open windows instead, and park in the shade to reduce the need for cooling.
