Driving Fuel Efficiency During Breakdowns — Minimizing Strain on SG-MY Assistance Timeline MyMechanic

  • Air‑conditioning needs: In hot, humid conditions, continuous AC can drain fuel quickly when idling.
  • Extended waiting time: Arrival times vary by corridor—city, highway, or rural stretches.
  • Avoiding secondary issues: Running out of fuel can further delay recovery and add stress.

  • Switch off the engine if safe: Keep ignition off when cooling and device charging aren’t immediately needed.
  • Use AC wisely: Alternate short AC intervals with fresh‑air ventilation to reduce consumption.
  • Limit electrical usage: Charge phones sparingly and minimize accessory use to reduce alternator load.
  • Position safely: If possible, roll to a shoulder or R&R bay without unnecessary idling.
