The question of whether the neutral taxi can save fuel can be said to be a cliché. So can the automatic car taxi in neutral gear save fuel? Will frequent neutral skids cause damage to the car's gearbox? Today Xiaobian will give you a science popularization.
Many old drivers will tell novice drivers that taxiing in neutral gear can save fuel when teaching novice driver driving experience, but this statement is not entirely true. If you are driving a short distance, such as when you encounter a red light. When the car is running in neutral gear, the speed drops faster, and when the speed falls below 1300 rpm, the neutral taxiing is not only not fuel-efficient but also more fuel-intensive. If it is a long distance, the car has been in neutral space taxiing can indeed save fuel. Therefore, on the question of whether the neutral sliding can save fuel, we still have to judge according to the specific situation.
After talking about whether the neutral taxi can save fuel, let's talk about whether the neutral taxi will cause damage to the car gearbox. Many car owners are worried that the neutral taxi will damage the gearbox, in fact, everyone's worries are superfluous. When the automatic car is taxiing in neutral gear, if the gearbox is too hot, it will rotate itself to dissipate heat, so everyone does not have to worry about the damage caused to the gearbox by taxiing in neutral gear.
Although long-distance time-lapse coasting is fuel-efficient, it does not cause damage to the transmission. But when you usually drive an automatic car, it is best not to glide in neutral gear. Especially in the downhill space-time block taxi is very dangerous, downhill space-time block sliding is likely to lead to sudden brake failure, if you encounter an emergency is easy to crash.
Since sliding in neutral gears is not completely fuel-efficient, what are some of the real fuel-saving techniques when we usually drive an automatic car? First of all, we do not hang up the D gear when waiting for the red light, many car owners will directly hang the D gear when waiting for the red light in order to save trouble, although this is convenient for us to start directly, but this will increase the fuel consumption of the car. Therefore, when we are waiting for the red light, we have to switch the gear from D to N, which can save a lot of fuel consumption.
Secondly, we usually do not slam on the brakes when driving, many car owners will slam on the brakes when they encounter an emergency or see a green light suddenly turn into a red light. Not only is this very dangerous, but it also increases the fuel consumption of the car. Therefore, we usually must always observe the surrounding car condition when driving to avoid sudden sharp braking.
We usually do not suddenly slam on the accelerator except for not slamming on the brakes when driving. Slamming on the accelerator and slamming on the brakes will also increase the fuel consumption of the car, so we should usually press the accelerator smoothly when driving, and then drive at a uniform speed. In addition, we usually reduce the idle time when driving, if the car idles for a long time, it will not only increase the fuel consumption of the car, but also increase the carbon deposit of the car. Therefore, if the car needs to be parked in one place for a long time, it is best to stop and turn off the fire and wait.
Well today's explanation of whether the automatic car is fuel-efficient and how to save fuel in the automatic car is here, do you remember?
