How to improve the fuel efficiency of your Nissan Qashqai?

On average, the Nissan Qashqai gets around 32 miles per gallon. However, I have friends who claim to get much better mileage. How can I improve the fuel efficiency of my own Qashqai?

One way to improve the fuel efficiency of your Qashqai is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease gas mileage by up to 5%.

Another tip is to avoid idling for long periods of time. If you know you're going to be sitting in your Qashqai for more than a minute, it's more fuel efficient to turn off the engine.
