At present, the domestic oil price has reached an unprecedented new height, and many people have called the car the biggest burden of life, and it costs a lot of money to refuel every month. To this end, many people have switched to subways and buses. While not driving can indeed save a fortune, efficiency is always the most expensive in the face of time. So, is there some good way to save fuel and keep your refueling expenses in a range that you can afford?
1. Try to reduce the weight of your car
I believe that many car owners will give their cars a layout after buying a new car, and all kinds of car wash supplies, daily necessities and travel supplies in life are all stuffed into the trunk. Over time, the trunk was full. In this environment, the car is equivalent to long-term load driving, the increase in weight will make the car's acceleration ability decrease, so in the process of starting and accelerating, it is necessary to step on the accelerator deeply to make the vehicle achieve better acceleration efficiency, and so repeated operation, the average fuel consumption of the car will naturally become higher. Therefore, if you want to save fuel on the car, the first step is to reduce the weight of the car, reduce some of the items that are not commonly used on the car as much as possible, the car becomes lighter, and the fuel consumption will naturally decrease.
2. Develop a good driving mentality
In fact, whether it is doing things or driving, we often hear a word in daily life is "mentality". For a person with a good attitude, not only does the whole person appear more mature and stable, but these details are reflected in all aspects of life, such as driving is a good example. Nowadays, there are more and more cars, and many times it is inevitable that some crowded or rushing behavior will occur, and if you have a bad mentality, it is easy to be implicated in this trivial matter, and it is easy to drive a bucket car in anger. Violent driving will inevitably lead to an increase in vehicle fuel consumption, especially for some models with large self-weight, fuel consumption is even more creepy upwards. So, if you want to save fuel, start by driving calmly.
3. Start softly
The amount of fuel consumed by cars in the initial stage is the largest, which explains why the instantaneous fuel consumption of many vehicles can exceed 50L/100km, but this process lasts for a short time and does not have much impact on the overall average fuel consumption. But if your driving style is more aggressive, the vehicle just started to want it to reach the speed of cruising, then the process of engine fuel injection will increase exponentially, especially in the traffic light more sections, continuous stop-and-go, the average fuel consumption of the car will definitely increase. Therefore, if you want to save fuel in the starting stage of the vehicle, you must control your own throttle opening, so that the car can slowly complete the start, which will greatly help the overall average fuel consumption of the vehicle.
4. Regular use of fuel additives
Nowadays, most of the models on the market are equipped with turbocharged engines, compared to naturally aspirated engines, turbocharged engines are more likely to produce carbon deposits during operation, and too much carbon deposition will cause engine intake and exhaust obstruction, and engine running resistance will increase, resulting in increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is very necessary to regularly use fuel additives for the car, and many car instructions indicate that fuel additives should be used regularly to clean up carbon deposits. In general, most vehicles recommend adding a bottle of fuel additive to the fuel tank of the car every 10,000 kilometers, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of carbon deposits.
5. Clean the oil circuit
If you have never used fuel additives before and suddenly find that the fuel consumption has increased a lot, you must wonder whether it is because of too much carbon deposit, resulting in higher fuel consumption caused by the blockage of the oil circuit. In this case, the use of fuel additives is often already half the work, and it may also lead to more serious oil circuit blockages. Therefore, in view of this situation, it is necessary to clean the oil circuit of the car, in general, the price of car oil cleaning needs to range from hundreds to thousands of yuan, but the different price cleaning effects and methods may not be the same.
6, China VI B model must use low ash oil
Since the official implementation of the emission standards, the emission standards of fuel vehicles have put forward better requirements, and in order to meet the emission environmental protection regulations, almost all new cars have been equipped with GPF particle traps on the exhaust, which is currently to better purify the exhaust gas. However, many car owners began to find that models equipped with GPF particle traps are prone to clogging behavior after driving a certain distance, and once the particle trap is blocked, fuel consumption will increase significantly. Therefore, how to avoid GPF particle trap blockage in our car. Among them, the particle trap is a large reason for the lack of use of low ash oil oil, because a small amount of additives in the oil will burn to generate ash, and some of these ash parts form a hard deposit (commonly known as: carbon deposit) in the engine, and then will be discharged with the exhaust pipe, and over time it will cause the particle trap to block. Therefore, in order to avoid particle trap clogging, these vehicles must use low ash oil, which please pay attention to.
7. Maintain good vehicle condition
Many car owners complain that after two or three years of buying and using the car, the condition of the car is not as good as before, not only the noise has become louder, but the fuel consumption has also become higher. In fact, a large part of the reason for these problems in the car has something to do with our daily maintenance. Even if the same car uses different tires and different oils, after a few years of use, the condition of the car will be more or less different. Therefore, if you want to keep the car in good condition, then the daily maintenance must be timely, and at the same time, in the maintenance process must not be too frugal, after all, you give it a good meal, it can better serve you.
summary
In addition to the above-mentioned ones, there are many reasons for the increase in fuel consumption of the car. In short, if you want to make the fuel consumption level of the car reach an optimal state, you must cooperate from many aspects, and the effect of improving from one or two links alone is often not very obvious, only by paying enough attention to the vehicle, coupled with a good driving mentality, can the best fuel saving effect be achieved.
