What are some tips for improving fuel efficiency in my Ford Transit Custom?

I recently purchased a Ford Transit Custom and I've noticed that it seems to use more fuel than I expected. Are there any specific driving techniques or maintenance tips that can improve the fuel efficiency of my vehicle?

Hi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford Transit Custom! In order to improve fuel efficiency, there are a few things you can do. First, make sure you regularly check and maintain your tire pressure. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency. Additionally, try to avoid unnecessary idling and aggressive driving. Both of these habits can use up more fuel than necessary. Also, make sure to keep up with regular maintenance such as oil changes and air filter replacements.

Hi Samantha, in addition to the tips mentioned by Michelle, another way to improve fuel efficiency is to reduce excess weight in your vehicle. This can include removing unnecessary items from the trunk or cargo area. Every extra pound can contribute to decreased fuel efficiency. Also, try to plan out your routes beforehand to avoid unnecessary driving and traffic.

Hi Samantha, one more thing to keep in mind is your driving speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. Try to maintain a steady speed and avoid sudden accelerations. Keeping steady speeds and avoiding sudden changes can greatly improve your fuel efficiency.
