- Make your vehicle more aerodynamic – if you have broken windows in your truck or windows that cannot be fully rolled up you have to fix them. Driving with defective windows allows the air to flow over your body and the inside of the cabin and this will cause slower speed and pressure on your truck
- Eliminate unnecessary weight – every unnecessary weight affects on the fuel consumption

Keep your truck in perfect condition not just to save fuel and money also for your safety and safety of others around you.
Tip #4: Make sure tire pressure is according to the instructions. Low tire pressure can increase fuel consumption up to 5%
Under-inflated tires burn more fuel because of the rolling resistance, even one underinflated tire can cut 5% of your fuel economy if pressure is below the proper inflation level, keep the truck tires inflated to the correct pressure.
Tip #5: Idling time can increase your fuel consumption. Have GPS installed that can monitor and alarm you if idling times are too long
When you have to pull off the road don’t let the vehicle idle more than a 30 second, pumping of CO2 into the atmosphere compared with restarting the engine is much higher idling also consumes half a gallon to one gallon of fuel per hour.
