Tips on reducing the fuel costs
Use public transport to go somewhere. Walk and cycle is the best thing for environment and health. Keep vehicle well maintained and tiers well inflated. Accelerate gently and steadily and do not change gears too often, use A/C sparingly. Avoid cold-starts and do not warm-up for more than 30 seconds. Make maximum use of a trip by combine shopping with visiting a friend or picking kids from school. Initiate a car or even a two-wheeler-pool. Switch the vehicle off at red light stops and drive in gear corresponding to the speed. A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50%. Driving at 90 kilometers an hour rather than 100 can reduce fuel consumption by 10%. A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption in highway driving.
Maintenance of car to save fuel
Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle then it is better to remove it when not in use. Avoid Jack Rabbit starts as it not only increase fuel consumption, but are hard on the tires as well. Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of the brakes and tires. Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag. Maintain a steady speed and accelerate slowly on gravel or slippery roads. Avoid unnecessary braking the car. Reviving the engine just before turning off the ignition costs extra fuel and may cause engine damage too. Take advantage of rolling resistance rather than heavy braking to help slow down. This deceleration technique is one of the best for fuel saving. Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds and changing spark plugs regularly can save a good amount of fuel in the car.
