The current oil price really makes many fuel owners secretly bitter, if the fuel consumption of the car is higher, it will be more headache? So what should be done? Learn these little tricks and you'll be a fuel-efficient master too!
Proper control of the throttle/gear
The key to affecting fuel consumption is to control the engine speed, so that the engine can reduce the burden on the engine when driving at a low speed, so when accelerating, try not to make the engine pull up the speed in an instant, you can use a gentler way to lightly step on the throttle, you can bring more ideal effects to fuel consumption. In addition, if the car is a hand-row car or has a manual shift function, it can also be used to use the characteristics of high-speed gear and low speed to reduce the consumption of gasoline.
Maintain proper distance to reduce the number of brakes
To become a fuel-saving expert, it is important to develop good driving habits! The first thing to do is to maintain an appropriate distance when driving, so that when there is enough reaction time, you can not do too much refueling or braking, and when you see a distant red light or the brake light in front of you, you can also put away the throttle early. Since stepping on the brake means that the previous power is lost, the brake can not be stepped on without stepping, thereby reducing the consumption of kinetic energy.
Air conditioning is key
The compressor of the car air conditioner is also the culprit of eating oil! Therefore, if the climate is cool, when driving at a low speed in the suburbs, you may wish to turn off the air conditioner and open the window, so that you can reduce the fuel consumption when the compressor is running, if in the summer, you have to open the air conditioner, you can also try not to drive the temperature too low, if you are some of the Japanese car owners who are known as "buying air conditioners to send cars", in fact, adjust the air conditioning temperature to about 25, 26 degrees, you can enjoy a good cold room effect!
Reduce wind resistance
Although the previous paragraph mentioned the method of turning off the air conditioner, you can open the window when driving at a slow speed, but if you are driving at high speed, it is best to close the window tightly! In addition to the wind pressure will cause discomfort when driving, the incoming crosswind will also increase the wind resistance and produce unnecessary fuel consumption! In addition, the additional items added to the car will also affect the aerodynamics, such as roof luggage or large rear wings, etc., in order to save fuel, you can consider removing these additional items!
Regular maintenance, select the right oil to help
If you want to maintain a good fuel consumption of your car, then regular maintenance is quite important! In addition to the well-known five oils and three waters, regular replacement of spark plugs, cleaning and replacement of oil filters and other methods can also keep the engine in the best condition, thereby improving fuel efficiency. In addition, in the choice of oil, you can also try oil with lower viscosity, such as 0W30 and 0W40 compared with the two oils, the fuel saving efficiency of 0W30 will be better, the reason is to choose a higher viscosity of the oil, the burden on the engine and friction resistance will increase, relatively will make the fuel consumption performance worse. Therefore, if fuel saving is a prerequisite, the oil can be tried to change to a smaller number.
The choice of tires, the tire pressure should be sufficient
Many car friends should have heard of "economic and energy-saving tires", so what is the main reason why tire styles affect fuel consumption? First of all, each tire will be marked with a wear index (Treadwear), the higher this value means the more wear-resistant, and the more wear-resistant tires also represent a relatively low grip, but poor grip also means that the contact area with the ground is small, which can reduce fuel consumption relatively. Another factor is the tire pressure, the higher the tire pressure will make the tire grip worse, but also can make the fuel consumption better, but the above are related to driving safety, it is recommended that riders can refer to the original recommended tire pressure value marked on the car (the position is usually in the driver's seat door open or inside the fuel tank cover), taking into account energy saving and safety!
Subtract unnecessary weight
Some car owners will be accustomed to putting things in the back compartment, and it is likely to increase a lot of burden over time! Therefore, the items on the car can be placed less and less, and unnecessary items should not be put on the car.
The above several fuel-saving tips are provided for riders to refer to!
