How can I improve fuel efficiency in my Kia Stonic?

I've recently purchased a Kia Stonic and I'm looking to make it more fuel efficient. Are there any specific maintenance or driving practices I should be following? My friend suggested changing my driving habits, but I'm not sure where to start.

First and foremost, make sure you are keeping up with regular maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations. Properly inflated tires can also improve fuel efficiency.

In terms of driving habits, try to avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. This can significantly decrease your fuel efficiency. Gradual acceleration and coasting to a stop can help save fuel.

Consider using cruise control on the highway. This can help maintain a steady speed and improve fuel efficiency.

Don't forget to remove any unnecessary items from your car. Extra weight can decrease fuel efficiency.

Lastly, try to avoid idling for extended periods of time. Turn off your engine if you anticipate being stopped for more than 30 seconds.
