Gasoline becomes more expensive every year, so more and more often you have to think about how you can drive your car with maximum fuel economy. Every reason for wasting fuel may seem petty, but there are many such reasons, and they add up to a very impressive amount of wasted gasoline.
Instructions
Step 1
The general condition of the vehicle must be carefully monitored. Fuel consumption is often increased due to malfunctions in the chassis, engine or transmission.
Step 2
Filling with synthetic oil has a positive effect on engine operation in economy mode. Synthetics not only improve engine performance and increase its resource, but also reduce fuel consumption.
Step 3
You should turn off the engine even during short stops (more than 1 minute), be it standing in a traffic jam, going to the store, etc.
Step 4
You should not develop high speed unnecessarily, because this brutally increases gas mileage.
Step 5
Do not turn on the air conditioner unnecessarily. Up to 10 percent of gasoline is spent on its work.
Step 6
Do not overload the vehicle with unnecessary cargo. For every 50 kg, the overconsumption of fuel increases by approximately 2 percent.
Step 7
Always monitor the tire pressure. It is known that lowering the pressure from the prescribed 2 kg / cm2 to 1.5 kg / cm2 increases the consumption of gasoline by about 3 percent.
Step 8
If you are descending a slope, then it is undesirable to brake with the engine to save gasoline. It is best to drive in neutral.
Step 9
You should drive without jerking or jerking, since unstable engine operation also increases fuel consumption.
Step 10
Fuel with an octane rating higher than the manufacturer's recommendation should not be used. Since this will add little power, but it will definitely not be possible to save on the cost of such gasoline.
