Planning & Route
Plan Your Routes
Use Google Maps to avoid traffic. Combine multiple errands into one trip. In Lagos, avoid peak hours (7-9 AM and 5-8 PM) when possible to reduce time in traffic.
Drive During Cooler Hours
Fuel is denser in cooler temperatures. Fill up early morning or late evening. You'll get slightly more fuel for your money, and you'll use less AC during your trip.
Avoid Rush Hour Traffic
Stop-and-go traffic is the worst for fuel economy. If possible, adjust your schedule to avoid peak traffic hours in major cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.
