Here are 16 fuel-saving tips for driving a manual transmission car: 1. Warm up the car before driving. 2. Plan your travel route in advance. 3. Using air conditioning at economical speeds is more fuel-efficient than opening windows. 4. Reduce unnecessary items in the car. 5. Maintain a steady speed; for cars, 60-90 km/h is optimal. Every 1 km/h increase in speed consumes 0.5% more fuel. 6. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. 7. Check tire pressure. Low pressure increases tire contact area, resistance, and fuel consumption. 8. Use appropriate engine oil. Lower viscosity oil reduces engine effort and fuel consumption. 9. Minimize the use of electronic devices. 10. Reduce engine idling time. 11. Maintain good driving habits. 12. Accelerate gently; sudden acceleration increases fuel consumption. 13. Avoid coasting in neutral for fuel-injected cars. 14. Monitor coolant temperature. Temperatures too high or too low increase fuel consumption. Above 95°C, fuel consumption rises by over 30% and engine wear increases. 15. Reduce unnecessary braking, as frequent braking wears out brakes and tires. 16. Master the timing of gear shifts.
