1. Yiba nomfanekiso-ngqondweni wamaqanda phantsi kweePedals
Eyona ndlela ilula nesebenzayo yokuqhuba 'iluhlaza' kukutshintsha ngokulula isimbo sokuqhuba. Esikhundleni sokuqalisa ngokukhawuleza kunye nokuyeka ngokukhawuleza, hamba lula kwigesi kunye neepedali zokuqhawula. Ukuba kukho isibane esibomvu ngaphambili, yehlisa igesi kwaye unyuke ukuya kuyo kunokulinda kude kube yisekhondi yokugqibela ukuze ibhuleki. Nje ukuba ukukhanya kujike kube luhlaza, khawulezisa ngobunono kunokwenza 'umvundla' uqale.
“Khawufane ucinge ukuba kukho amaqanda ngaphantsi kwegesi yakho kunye neepedali zokuqhobosha. Ufuna ukufaka uxinizelelo ngobunono kwiipedali ukuze uphephe ukophula iqanda,” ucacise watsho uNielsen. Ukutshintsha indlela oqhuba ngayo kunokuba nefuthe elimandla kwisixa segesi esetyenziswa yinqwelo-mafutha yakho, kuyenze ingabi yinto nje 'eluhlaza', kodwa oko kunokukongela imali ngenene ngamaxabiso aphezulu epetroli namhlanje."
ISebe Lezamandla laseUnited States linikela ingxelo yokuba ukuqhuba kakubi kunokunciphisa amafutha emoto aye kutsho kuma-33 ekhulwini.

Nangona kunjalo, ukuqhuba nje isantya esimiselweyo okanye iimayile ezimbalwa ngeyure ngaphantsi kunokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwepetroli ukuya kutsho kuma-23 ekhulwini,” utshilo uNielsen.
Nganye i-5 mph eqhutywe phezu kwe-60 mph ifana nokuhlawula i-$ 0.24 eyongezelelweyo ngegesi yegesi, ngokutsho kweSebe lezaMandla lase-US.
