How to increase fuel efficiency on my Volkswagen Golf?

I recently bought a Volkswagen Golf and I've noticed that the fuel consumption is higher than expected. Can anyone give me some tips on how to improve its fuel efficiency? I am open to suggestions, from small adjustments to bigger changes.

Hi Caroline, congratulations on your new Volkswagen Golf! Here are some tips to increase its fuel efficiency:

Hello Caroline, first of all, it's important to keep your car well-maintained. Make sure to check your tire pressure regularly and change the oil on time. This can improve your fuel efficiency by up to 2-3%.

Hi Caroline, have you considered adjusting your driving habits? Aggressive acceleration and sudden braking can use up a lot of fuel. Try to drive at a consistent speed and avoid idling for long periods of time.

Hi Caroline, one thing you can do is to lighten the load in your car. Every extra 100 pounds can decrease your fuel efficiency by 1%. So, try to avoid carrying unnecessary items in your car.
