4 tips on how to reduce your car's fuel consumption for sure. With current fuel prices, fuel consumption has become one of the main technical indicators of a car.
However, consumption depends not only on the car, but also on the driver, who, with certain knowledge, can significantly reduce fuel costs.
✅Normal car - normal consumption In order for a car to serve faithfully and not suffer from an increased "appetite", it is necessary to regularly carry out its maintenance. Typically, the maintenance interval for modern cars is 15,000 km.
✅Air conditioning and open windows The air conditioning and open windows significantly increase fuel consumption. We recommend that at speeds up to 80 km/h it is better to open the window, at higher speeds, it is better to close the windows and turn on the air conditioner. The reason is that at high speeds, the resistance to movement created by open windows has a much greater impact on fuel consumption than the air conditioner.
Driving style To get the lowest fuel consumption, you should shift into a higher gear as early as possible, keep the engine speed between 2000 and 2500 rpm, and avoid busy roads and traffic jams. Drive smoothly, slowing down in advance before an obstacle or turn. This can reduce fuel consumption by 15%.
✅Excess weight is an unnecessary expense In order to avoid wasting, you should take all unnecessary things out of the car, clean the luggage compartment, remove the additional roof rack, if any, as it also negatively affects aerodynamics.
