A system and a method for saving fuel includes a pressure sensor(101) installed to a seat to decide whether a driver is on the seat or not, a control device(102) connected to the sensor to receive signals from the sensor and to perform monitoring and controlling components including a fuel pump, a timer(103) with a warning device such as a speaker(104) to give a warning when the sensor detects the absence of a driver for a first period of time and to stop the fuel pump when a second period of time elapsed, and a fuel pump(105).
