Factors Influencing Diesel Prices in the UAE

Tips for Efficient Diesel Usage
- Avoid speeding: Do not give your car unnecessary accelerator and do not brake when not needed, as this consumes more fuel.
- Maintain Tyre Pressure: When taking the car out on the road, take a look at all four tires of your car. If any tire is low on air, fill it up immediately. Due to low air pressure, the car has to exert a lot of force, which wastes fuel.
- Extra Weight: Extra items add weight to the car, which consumes more petrol. Remove extra items from the car.
- Engine Checkup: Get your car checked by a mechanic every 10-15 days, so that if there is any problem, the mechanic can fix it
- Trips Smartly: If you are going on a long trip, try to take a shortcut and avoid driving.
