There's three ways to reduce the fuel consumption in an airplane, starting with the easiest; reduce the total weight, reduce drag, and increase the engine's efficiency. In a more practical vein... The foregoing is a great answer in a theoretical sense. However, in a practical sense, there are any number of ways to reduce fuel consumption through the careful planning and execution of the flight. For instance, selecting the most appropriate altitude considering winds and engine performance, and selecting the best route considering winds and distance, both will make a huge difference in total fuel consumption. Flying the aircraft in the most efficient manner, at the proper speeds, and using the best climb and descent profiles will also save fuel. The airlines devote massive amounts of time and energy in discovering the most efficient flight profiles, as even a small savings in fuel can, over a year's time, and with a large fleet of aircraft, result in significant savings.

What is the importance of sea routes?
The importance of sea routes is to keep product and passengers safe while traveling on the sea. A sea route that follows the Tradewinds, makes it possible for ships to travel with the wind at their backs to reduce fuel consumption or maximize the use of sails. Sea routes also make it possible to reach destinations sooner.

Can GPS trackers reduce fuel consumption?
A GPS tracker has very little o do with fuel consumption. Using a GPS will, however, allow you to plan the shortest route to your destination thereby reducing the fuel consumption.
Why are the tips of the wing turned up on an airplane?
They are called winglets, the main function of the winglets is to reduce drag. Reducing drag increases speed and decreases fuel consumption, thereby extending range and saving money.
