Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly payment is due.

Owning a car in Singapore is expensive as it is without adding to the cost unnecessarily. Though I do not have a car of my own and don't plan on getting one any time soon, here are three tips which I found that could help all car owners save on these unnecessary expenses.

Tip 1: Follow the Trucks

In traffic jams, stick with the trucks, which tend to roll along at the same pace. It takes more fuel to get a vehicle moving than it does to keep it moving. 

Tip 2: Check Your Air Filter

Hold your air filter up to the sun. If no light passes through, it's time to change it to a new one. Clogged filters prevents the right amount of air from entering the engine. This results in more petrol being burnt to achieve the same amount of power to propel the vehicle a certain distance.

Tip 3: Get the Right Tyres and Mind the Rims

Big tyres with fancy sports rims may look cool, but create more rolling resistance and weigh more thereby increasing the amount of petrol used.

Happy rolling everyone,
