Efficient driving
In addition to the price of gasoline itself, it is important to follow a series of guidelines to save on the consumption of our vehicle. One of the most efficient ways to consume less is to drive as constantly as possible. That is, without jerking or braking, as they say at full throttle, pressing the accelerator pedal very little but without losing speed and taking advantage of the inertia in all possible sections of the trip.
1
Execute efficient driving:
The way you drive can make a big difference in gasoline consumption. By avoiding sudden acceleration, unnecessary braking, and maintaining a constant speed with cruise control on long-distance roads, more efficient use of fuel is achieved.
2
Check tire pressure and vehicle condition:
Maintaining proper tire pressure not only improves vehicle safety, but also helps reduce fuel consumption. Before starting the trip, it is essential to check the tire pressure level, as well as the air and oil filters.
3
Turn off the engine during prolonged stops:
Keeping the engine running when it is not necessary increases fuel consumption, so turning it off in situations of prolonged stoppage can result in significant fuel savings. Systems such as Start Stop in short stops such as those produced at traffic lights can help save fuel,
4
Maintain vehicle cleanliness:
Maintaining vehicle cleanliness is crucial to optimizing fuel efficiency, given the impact of dirt and dust on the engine.
5
Disconnect unnecessary electronic devices:
Car electronic devices such as the mobile phone charger or the entertainment system consume energy even when they are not in use.
Disconnecting these devices from the power source can help reduce alternator loading and improve vehicle efficiency.
