The usage of fuel additives results in economy, better combustion, cleaner system, improved performance and extension of the life of the installation. For more information see Dieselor OK.
Close the curtains at dusk. This will reduce heat losses through the windows.
By placing shutters to block heat loss through the window and air leakages, you will reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.
During the day keep the windows with a southern exposure without curtains.
To avoid affecting the circulation of heat, do not put objects, curtains or furniture in front of the radiators and other heat sources. Clean them from dust regularly.
In winter open the windows regularly but for a short time and with wide open windows. That way you will keep the heat of the walls.
Put a thermostat to program and regulate the tempretature. This will save you about 10% per year.
Program the thermostat at a lower temperature when you are out of the house to save up to 20% of the energy.
When you sleep, reduce the temperature by 1-2 degrees.
Observe the 30-minute rule: reduce temperature 30 minutes before bedtime and increase it 30 minutes before wake up time.
Reduce the overall temperature by just 1 degree during the day and you will save 2% of the costs, by 2 degrees for 4% and at the same time you will achieve 6% less emissions.
If you lower the temperature with 5 degrees at night and with 10 degrees during the day while you are away, you will save 20%.
Feel the gap between the door and the threshold to stop heat losses.
If there are gaps between your windows and walls, fill them with silicone.
Consider replacement of the heating system, if it is over 20 years old. Modern systems can reduce fuel consumption by 15-25%.

Fuel saving tips for your car

Remove the unnecessary luggage. Each 45 kg less will lead to a 2% lower consumption.
Avoid bringing luggage on the roof. Even if the trunk on the roof is empty, better remove it.
Drive at a constant speed.
Drive at a higher gear that complies to your speed.

Frequent gear changes, abrupt braking and acceleration spend between 20% and 33% more fuel.
Did you know that 50% of vehicles on the road are driving with lower tire pressure than recommended? Check tire pressure regularly. It can affect up to 3% of fuel consumption. Lower pressure and worn tires increase fuel it.
Did you know that clogged air filters can increase consumption by up to 10 percent, while one in four cars needs filter replacement?
Close the windows when you're on the highway. Violation of the aerodynamics can raise fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Use only the recommended grade of oil.
Charge only in petrol stations that you trust. Fuel with poor quality increases fuel consumption.
