Since time immemorial, Volga cars in our country have been the embodiment of comfort and convenience. This car stands out from the stream with its large dimensions. However, in addition to convenience, this car also has a negative feature - Volgov engines are distinguished by their increased appetite. Almost all motors have a consumption of more than 10 liters per 100 kilometers. What are the ways to reduce fuel consumption?
Instructions
Step 1
First, do a complete cleaning of your vehicle. In many cars, over time, a myriad of unnecessary things accumulate. Volga is a very large and spacious car, so the accumulation of unnecessary things may not interfere with everyday movement, but all this junk adds a lot of weight to an already heavy car. Try not to carry bags of vegetables or other cargo in the trunk for a long time. Excess weight not only increases fuel consumption, but also wears out your vehicle's suspension components faster. After a seasonal change of tires, you should not carry old tires in the trunk, as they add extra weight and deform.
Step 2
Low tire pressure can also result in excessive fuel consumption. The fact is that the engine has to overcome a lot of resistance in order to move the car on lowered wheels. Therefore, it generates more power and consumes more fuel. A very small deviation of pressure from the norm can lead to a large monthly overconsumption of fuel and significantly increase spending on gasoline. Install tire pressure sensors to constantly monitor the condition of your car. Installing such a device will allow you not to waste time checking the pressure before each trip.
Step 3
Pay attention to your vehicle's powertrain. Each motor requires careful maintenance and timely maintenance. Quite powerful motors were installed on the Volga, therefore, by definition, they consume a lot of gasoline. However, an improperly tuned carburetor can also cause overspending. A standard carburetor is not very practical, as it uses gasoline very uneconomically. In this case, installing a new carburetor will help. If you have a Volga with an injection engine, then new improved firmware will come to the rescue, which will allow you to find a "golden mean" between fuel consumption and vehicle power.
