Yes, adjusting driving habits can improve fuel economy by 10-20%:

Smooth Acceleration & Braking – Sudden acceleration wastes fuel. Try gradual speed increases.
Maintain a Steady Speed – Use cruise control on highways to avoid unnecessary fuel consumption.
Avoid Idling – Idling for long periods wastes fuel. Turn off the engine if stopping for more than a minute.
Shift Gears Efficiently Manual Transmission – Shift at the right RPMs to maximize fuel efficiency.

Drivers who adopt these habits often gain 1-2 km/l in real-world mileage.
