(Newswire.net — June 14, 2019) — Due to the rise in the price of fuels, it is increasingly important to follow advice that can be applied carried out to save fuel and, therefore, money. There are several tips that any driver can put into practice, both before and while driving:
Before driving
It is necessary to have the car in good condition. This involves checking filters, liquids, lubricants and other components. Also, the tires must have the correct pressure, otherwise the fuel consumption will double.
Moreover, it is necessary to plan the trip. This not only implies knowing which route is the shortest, but also the type of road, the speed at which you can go, etc.
It is advisable to disassemble the roof rack if it is not going to be used because the aerodynamic drag causes higher fuel consumption.
In addition, remove everything that is not necessary from the trunk, because as weight increases, so does fuel consumption.
Finally, choose a suitable footwear. This means avoiding shoes that prevent you from feeling the accelerator pedal.
While driving
Once the car is started, there are many situations when it is possible to save fuel.
It is highly recommended not to accelerate, especially when the car has just started and is cold.
Also, it is necessary to keep in mind how the gear change is carried out, because if we want to save money, it is essential to make the change in time. In a diesel engine this must be done at around 1,500 revolutions. However, in a petrol engine, around 2,000.
Another very important aspect is to maintain a safe distance to avoid braking and then recovering speed.
After a hill stop, it is advisable to release the brake and put the second gear directly. Thus, a gear change is avoided and fuel is saved.
Also, avoid excessive use of the air conditioning or heating to reduce fuel consumption of our vehicle. It is advisable to cool or heat the car but not to extreme temperatures.
Finally, often it is better to park in the first slot you see, even if it is necessary to walk to reach the destination.
