Daily petrol prices impact budgets in Kohima as follows:

To reduce fuel expenses in Kohima:

• Plan Your Trips Efficiently: Combine errands into a single trip to avoid several short journeys. A warm engine uses less fuel than cold starts. This reduces overall fuel consumption by maximizing the engine’s efficiency on longer trips.

• Maintain Your Vehicle Regularly: Keep your vehicle in good condition by checking air filters, oil levels, and tyre pressure. Properly inflated tyres reduce rolling resistance, improving fuel economy. Regular servicing ensures the engine runs smoothly and consumes less fuel.

• Drive Smoothly and Avoid Aggression: Accelerate gently and maintain steady speeds within speed limits. Avoid sudden starts, stops, and rapid lane changes. Smooth driving improves fuel efficiency by reducing unnecessary fuel burn caused by aggressive driving.

• Use Air Conditioning Wisely: Run the air conditioning only when necessary, as it increases fuel consumption. Roll down windows for ventilation during slow city drives or cooler weather to save fuel. Air conditioning use can increase fuel costs by 5-20%.

• Minimise Vehicle Load and Aerodynamic Drag: Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle like heavy luggage or roof racks. Extra weight and open windows at high speeds increase air resistance, reducing fuel efficiency. Keeping the vehicle light improves mileage.

• Avoid Extended Idling: Switch off your engine when waiting for more than 30 seconds, such as at traffic lights or in queues. Idling wastes fuel without moving the vehicle and adds to overall fuel costs.

• Choose Off-Peak Fueling Times: Fill petrol early in the morning or late evening when fuel is denser due to lower temperatures. This small practice can help you get more fuel per Litre, providing slightly better mileage.

• Use Public Transport or Carpool: Where possible, share rides with colleagues or use public transport to reduce individual fuel expenses. Less use of personal vehicles means lower overall fuel consumption and cost.
