<p>Avoid these 10 Bad Driving Habits if you wish to prolong your car's overall life and reduce spending on your wallet. Let's not waste your time and just go for the 10 Bad Driving Habits which would empty your pockets in the future.</p>
<h2><strong>1. Low Fuel Level</strong></h2>
<p>When your car is unused for long time <strong>debris&nbsp;accumulates</strong> in your fuel tank and the pipeline to the engine. As you start your engine the fuel is not passed initially damaging the oil filter. During the cold season, make sure to keep your fuel tank at least half-filled. In case of low fuel, the formation of large amounts of condensate may occur. If the fuel is totally empty, the problem could lead to even engine failure.&nbsp;</p>
