#10 Weight – Carry What You Need

Weight is critical for fuel economy. Manufacturers consistently work towards reducing the base weight of their vehicles to improve efficiency or performance. You should remove all unnecessary weight from your car. Your car’s performance will be reduced with every extra kilogram above the base weight.

It may seem like it will take some effort, however you will be rewarded in your hip pocket. Some examples of reducing extra weight are, remove any removable seats that you never use from your car or van and keep them in the garage.

Remove unnecessary items around in the car or in the boot. Already covered earlier, remove roof rack, bike racks, ski racks and roof boxes off your car unless needed and being used.
