I've found that Budget petroleum stations often have slightly lower prices, especially on weekends. Plus they sometimes have promotions that can save you a few cents per liter.

Don't forget to check if you have fuel coupons.

I've been driving diesel for 5 years now. The fuel savings on long trips to Victoria Falls and Bulawayo definitely add up. My Toyota Hilux gets about 12km/L compared to my friend's petrol version getting 8km/L.

Petrol is better if you mostly drive in town. Diesel engines need to warm up properly and don't like short trips. Plus petrol cars are generally cheaper to service.

I reduced my fuel consumption by 15% just by checking tire pressure monthly and driving more smoothly. Small changes make a big difference over time!

For hybrid owners: Learn your car's systems! Use eco mode, watch the energy flow display, and try to keep the engine off as much as possible in traffic.
