CAPE TOWN - Unless you’re able to walk, carpool or use public transport, it will be difficult to avoid the impact that the fuel hike will have on your disposable income.
As of Wednesday 3 April, motorists will pay R1,34 more per litre for 93 unleaded petrol and R1.31 for 95. Diesel vehicles will also experience an increase, paying between 82 and 83 cents per litre. Auto Care & Diagnostics said with rising costs and a recent fuel price hike just a month ago, motorists would feel the pinch at the pumps now more than ever.
ACD’s Hugo Grobler, the national franchise manager, has shared driving tips to help you spend less on fuel.Maintaining the speed limit or just below not only saves you from unnecessary traffic fines but also uses less fuel. A lighter touch on your accelerator also means you only supply what your engine needs at any given time.Try and avoid riding your brakes as this creates unnecessary drag as well as wear and tear on your braking system.
Studies show that your vehicle could consume up to 30% more fuel if proper maintenance is not performed on a regular schedule. So – in addition to driving more efficiently – motorists are urged to use a preventative approach and get the condition of their vehicles assessed to save money in the long term.
