Reducing the percentage of car use in daily life may not be easy for many, so some simple methods may be the best solution to save fuel while driving.
accelerator pedal to warm up the car
Sometimes we mistake the idea that if we step on the accelerator pedal too many times, the engine will warm up faster and give a better response when we start the car in cold weather.
The engine needs a few minutes to reach the desired temperature in winter, and this is not achieved by stepping on the accelerator pedal, all we are doing with this movement is wasting fuel.
Turn off the engine from time to time
The “engine shutdown” system is a feature of most cars on the market today. Thanks to it, the car turns off the engine while idle, thus avoiding fuel consumption during this period, and then restarts when the car is back in motion.
Even if your car does not have this feature, you can apply it in your own way, which is to turn off the start button and the engine, when you stop at a red light, or when someone is waiting, and then start the car, if you want to move.
good maintenance
To save fuel, a car’s engine needs to stay at its “peak level”, the lower the engine efficiency, the higher the consumption, simply because the performance will not be at the highest level.
The car needs to be fully operational, in terms of the fluids inside, filters, lubricants and components, and you can only achieve this if you comply with the maintenance intervals recommended by the manufacturer. Postponing going to the car workshop will only increase fuel consumption.
wheel condition
All the work that the engine does is transferred to the wheels so the car can move forward, so the wheels must be in perfect condition.
In the event of any defect in the tire structure, or an increase or imbalance in the pressure level, it generates additional work for the fuel.
If the tires are of poor quality, it will also be difficult to save fuel.
Relax
Relaxing driving is necessary to save fuel, sometimes drivers try to speed up to reach a stopped target, such as a red light, which a quiet person also reaches, at a longer time, but keeps his fuel.
Sometimes accelerating driving may not be of much benefit, other than fuel consumption, due to the process of stepping on the accelerator pedal, and then stepping on the “breaking” pedal, repeatedly.
Also, going “tensely” through traffic jams, speeding up to get close to the car in front, and then stopping, in a quick process, doesn’t do much good, but it drains the fuel tank.
