The oil should be frequently changed. I was lucky enough that I don’t have to worry about the schedules of my car’s oil change because the company I’m working for takes care of it. Avoid the temptation of car racing on the road. When you’re racing on the road, you’re wasting too much gas. And when you’re driving on a downhill road, DO NOT put the transmission on neutral instead leave the transmission on gear. It is a common misconception that an accelerating vehicle on neutral gear saves more gas. The engine still uses gas on neutral transmission just like when your car is in idle mode. So, lift your foot off of the accelerator while your transmission is on gear then let gravity and the remaining acceleration do the job. Most fuel-injected cars stop the supply of gas the moment you lift your foot off of the accelerator. Poorly maintained cars use more gas compared to a highly maintained car or a newly bought one.

There are cars out there that are more fuel-efficient, and some do not even use the conventional oil for fuel, instead they use water, electricity or solar power to run. Although they are more costly than most conventional cars, rest assured that in buying one, you not only save yourself some money in the long run, you are also helping promote the cars and clean living. You can also try using bicycle instead, just like in China wherein most people use Bicycles as a means of transportation.
