Some things that change how much petrol a car uses are

Driving Habits: Aggressive driving habits like speeding, accelerating quickly, and stopping and starting often can use a lot more petrol.

Maintenance on Your Vehicle: Regular oil changes, tyre rotations and engine tune-ups are all parts of good maintenance that keep your car running at its best. If you don't do upkeep, your car may use more petrol and be less efficient with it.

Tyre Pressure: Tyres that aren't properly filled can make them harder to roll and use more petrol. Keeping the right tyre pressure helps the car use less petrol.

Use of the Air Conditioning: Using the air conditioning can make the engine work harder and use more petrol, especially when going in stop-and-go traffic or in the city. Lessening the time you use the AC can help you use less fuel.
