3 Weird Things Drivers Do to Save Money on Fuel You've all heard of these weird fuel-saving tips, so it's time we tell you if they're legit. The only question we have: why don't these drivers just use Caltex with Techron, which offers better fuel economy? Method Fuelling up before sunrise Some drivers think they get more fuel per unit volume when it’s cooler. The truth is, the fuel inside station tanks does not expand significantly in the day. Method Pimping the car with a spoiler Besides calling your aesthetic sense into question, spoilers actually create more air drag, thus burning more fuel. WORTH A TRY: As temperatures rise, liquids expand — simple science, right? At Caltex, your car’s juice might be stored underground to counteract this expansion. Yup, we’re smart drivers too. Method Refuelling when it's half empty Strangely enough, some drivers believe that petrol pumped into an empty tank evaporates quicker. WORTH A TRY: There’s no concrete evidence for this. But if it’s any consolation, Caltex is always happy to see you when you drop by! WORTH A TRY: We prefer to clear out junk from our car boot — every 50kg reduction in weight can increase fuel economy by one to two percent.
