7 Effective Ways To Consume Less Fuel

12/19/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The fuel prices keep getting more costly for many of us because of the crisis, inflation, and market prices. They are also expected to increase as the demand keeps increasing and the supply is limited. 

The continuous price increase will be an added expense to routine car maintenance, recurring repairs, or part replacement. It is bad news for drivers who are more conscious of their vehicle-related expenses. 
7 Effective Ways to Consume Less Fuel
People can find ways to save even minimal amounts while using their vehicles.
It is why we listed down some tips you can do to help you use less fuel below:
  1. Avoid hard braking
    Braking hard or suddenly stopping, like when coming to a red light or emergency stopping for a vehicle or animal, can cause higher fuel consumption. These can consume as much as 10% of your fuel and may cause more damage to your car or motor parts.

  2. Check tire pressure
    There is a correct tire pressure that you can find in your owner's manual. You can also do regular tire checking and invest in buying a tire pressure gauge. Note that uneven tire pressure can cause more fuel consumption as your car's rolling resistance increases. 

  3. Watch out for aircon usage
    Short trips in hot weather may also require more air conditioning power. You can roll down windows at low speed or park in shaded areas to avoid getting too hot and turn them on after cooling down the inside of the car.

  4. Have regular car maintenance checks
    Knowing the issues and problems ahead of time may help reduce the cost of repairs for parts that may cause your fuel consumption to increase. Some car part issues like fuel injection systems, bad oxygen sensors, old spark plugs, and air filters may use more of your fuel.

  5. Turn off the ignition when idle
    Idling or running your engine at the stop. Waiting for more than 10 minutes while the ignition is on may cost you almost a cup of fuel wastage. So, if you think the traffic will be more than 10-15 minutes, it's better to turn off the engine.

  6. Remove unnecessary weight
    Remember, less weight, less fuel consumption. If not needed, remove unnecessary stuff like sports equipment. Consider detaching the roof box, bicycle rack, and cargo carrier to reduce weight. 

  7. Have proper driving habits
    Be cautious and attentive when on the road. Looking ahead to check on cars and pedestrians who may pass by can help you be more alert and avoid hard braking. You can also accelerate according to the speed limit on the road. Avoid changing speed; dips and sudden bursts cost more fuel than steady speed.

Conclusion
People are more concerned about their finances now than ever. It will help if you can avoid driving habits that consume more fuel. There are tools to know the weight capacity of your car and tools used to track and monitor fuel. Being strategic and responsible on the road will help you save more fuel and money in the long run.
