To reduce gas mileage, you do not need to be an auto mechanic or upgrade your car. There are several guidelines that can help you save on car fuel without undue hassle.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not transport anything in your car that you do not need at this time. Extra weight means extra fuel consumption. First of all, this concerns the external trunk, which can increase the cost of gasoline immediately by 5-10%. Install it right before use, and then remove it again.
Step 2
If you have a lot of trips according to your plans (tourism, shopping, etc.), try to calculate the route in advance. Lay it so that you don't roll back and forth. Find a parking lot that is conveniently located to each of the places you need to visit during the day. Better to walk to some of them "on foot" than to waste time in traffic jams and each time looking for a new parking spot.
Step 3
Check the air filter and tire pressure. Remove the filter and see how it lets light through. An unsuitable filter restricts the air flow going into the engine, which is why an order of magnitude more gasoline is consumed. By increasing the pressure by 0.3 bar above "standard", you will also save fuel.
Step 4
Use the accelerator pedal carefully and try not to brake suddenly. "Quick start" - the consumption of gasoline in vain, because in this case, too large portions of fuel enter the cylinders. Do not use high gears at low speeds - this also greatly increases gas mileage. Always keep a close eye on the road conditions in order to slow down at the right time.
Step 5
Maintain a constant speed in traffic jams. After all, when the road is "congested" you have to start sharply and brake sharply, and this not only increases fuel consumption, but also worsens the "state of health" of your car.
