How can I improve the fuel efficiency in my Kia Stonic?

I recently purchased a Kia Stonic and have noticed that I am spending more on fuel than I expected. What can I do to improve the fuel efficiency in my car?

Regularly check and replace your air filter, dirty or clogged filters can decrease fuel efficiency. You can easily do this yourself or have it done during your routine oil change.

Maintain proper tire pressure, as under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 25%. Check your tire pressure monthly and fill them to the recommended psi.

Drive smoothly and avoid rapid acceleration and braking. This can increase fuel consumption by up to 40%. Try to anticipate traffic and try not to speed.

Avoid idling for long periods of time. If you are waiting for someone or stuck in traffic for more than a few minutes, turn off your engine.

Consider using cruise control on highways to maintain a consistent speed and reduce fuel consumption. Just remember to turn it off when approaching traffic or stopping.
