Fuel Prices Going Up? Here’s A Quick Guide to Saving Fuel
Another fuel price increase is hitting South Africans in April 2026. Now more than ever, managing your fuel spend is essential.
Whether you’re commuting daily, running a business fleet or managing family travel, small changes can lead to real savings.
DO’s
Drive like you’ve got somewhere to be, not something to prove
Smooth acceleration and gentle braking means less fuel used.
Check your tyre pressure
It’s a small thing that makes a big difference. Under-inflated tyres burn more fuel.
Plan your trips
One well-planned trip beats three unnecessary ones.
Travel light
If it doesn’t need to be in your car, it doesn’t need to burn your fuel.
DON’Ts
Don’t idle “just for a minute”
Those minutes add up and so does the fuel.
Don’t speed
Faster isn’t always better, especially for your fuel gauge.
Don’t ignore your car
Strange sounds, warning lights or overdue services mean less efficiency.
Don’t drive blindly
If you’re not tracking your trips or habits, you could be spending more than you need to.
Keep It Smart. Keep It Simple.
Saving fuel doesn’t require big changes, just better habits and a little more awareness.
