4 . Remain calm—
consistency and steadiness are the winners in the race of fuel economy. Hard acceleration agitates the engine more, drawing out more oil. Try not to put as much weight on your foot when accelerating; this will make the car safer, more efficient, and less harsh on its depreciation. Aggressive braking can also reduce fuel economy since sudden speed decreases encourage sudden rises in speed, which accelerates brake deterioration. Following these guidelines can increase gas mileage (Average KM/l) by 10% to 40% in stop-and-go traffic and 15% to 30% at highway speeds.
5 . Maintaining well-
maintained cars may increase gas mileage (Average KM/l) by 1% to 2%. This can be achieved by using the proper motor oil. Use 10W-30 instead of 5W-30 if the driver’s handbook recommends it! Maintain the engine’s correct tuning, check the oxygen sensor’s condition, and address any failed emissions test as soon as possible. Additionally, inspect air filters every few months to determine whether they are blocked; frequently, outside debris is sucked into them, preventing the engine from receiving enough airflow.
6 . Remove unneeded weight:
This stems from a fundamental tenet of physics: the more energy (or fuel, in this example) needed to move a thing, the heavier it is. Driving a smaller, lighter automobile can be a good place to start when trying to maximize fuel efficiency, but anybody can gain by lightening the weight of their existing car; and attempt to eliminate any heavy things that are not in use. For instance, adding a trailer to the rear of a vehicle when it’s not in use on your daily commute causes the car to weigh more than it needs to, which reduces fuel efficiency.
7 . Roll up the windows:
Moving cars encounter more resistance when their windows are open. Because highway driving entails such high speeds, a moving car’s forward motion is pushed against by a large weight in the form of drag, which makes the engine work harder to maintain the same speed. Even with the air conditioning on instead, rolling up the windows to reduce drag typically results in more fuel-efficient highway travel. Drag isn’t limited to working with open windows, though. In addition to adding weight, a bike rack or roof rack creates drag on the car, which reduces fuel economy.
8 . Air conditioning:
The amount of oil needed to run the air conditioner is a major source of fuel economy loss in very hot areas. Because of the AC, a car’s fuel efficiency might decrease by 25% in warm conditions. Since AC systems operate more efficiently when the vehicle is moving, it might be beneficial to keep the AC from being turned on too high, especially when it is idling.
9 . Steer clear of needless idling—
an idle car loses fuel.
These suggestions not only help drivers save money on gas and car maintenance, but they also have a lot of good environmental effects.
