Petrol is becoming expensive these days. Price of the petrol is being increased very often in India which makes travel costlier. It is the right time to think about the fuel economy of cars. Here are some tips helpful in saving you car fuel.
1.Ensure that tire pressures are maintained as per manufacturer specifications. Under or over inflated tires have more rolling resistance, which leads to higher consumption of petrol.
2.Try to fill fuel in the morning, as specific gravity of fuel is high at this time.
3.Avoid complete filling up of your fuel tank. Keep it half so that a proper pressure is maintained. Also this will ensure that the fuel pipes are always dirt free and are not blocked by the residues of slow flowing fuel. The Fuel tank also will not hold rust.
4.Get your car serviced at intervals specified by the owner’s manual from authorized service centers to ensure that your car is in proper tune all the time.
5. Change the air filter regularly. A dirty air filter restricts the air flow into the engine, which affects performance and economy. Similarly, change the oil in your car occasionally.
6.Be a smooth driver and avoid sudden braking or acceleration, this may not only saves you fuel but also extend tire life.
7.Turn off your car if you need to stop for more than 3 minutes.
8.Avoid clutch riding as it hampers car’s engine life which in turn raises your fuel consumption.
9.Try not to overload your vehicle with unnecessary things. Many people carry unnecessary things in the boot of their cars – extra weight means the engine works harder and drinks more fuel to get up to speed.
10.Use air-conditioner selectively as it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used. Use your car’s flow through ventilation, open a window or turn off air conditioner once the car has cooled.
