This is the best idea I have seen given here. So, many friends have give so many good good ideas, but one thing is in the root of every problem. If proper care has not been taken of the car, fuel efficiency will reduce anyway. The owner should do a regular check up of the vehicle...

Change air filter

idea posted by Parag Patni Product Development Manager, Maruti

Change your cars air filter at least every 6 months. Air filters get dirty from road dirt and bugs and deprive your engine of air that can led to poor combustion in your cylinders. This has really helped my car in saving fuel.

Mild Hybrids

idea posted by Arun Murali Senior Software Engineer, Mind Tree Limited

Choose to buy mild hybrids next time. They can easily save you 8% on fuel bills, easily.

The making of mild hybrid is as simple as getting rid of the starter motor and using the alternator(redesigned) as a starter. Only need some work with the component makers.
