Check your tyres:

Are you regularly checking tyre pressure? Under-inflated tyre needs more energy to roll smoothly. This can cause the engine to use more fuel. Keep your tyre well inflated and maintain it.

Shut the car:

Maybe your college or office is at a location that has long traffic lines. When your car is turned on and is at one place it’s called idling. Idling causes the car to consume fuel and deliver no results.

In such situation instead of keeping your car on and stay in one place, switch off the car. Most of the new cars allow you to turn on and off the car hassle-free. Shut down your car if the idling exceed 30 seconds to 1 minute.
