To help the bag, distribute the load, use the engine brake, maintain a steady speed, or check the tires
The cabinet has already announced that it will not maintain the discount of 20 cents per liter for the purchase of fuel from 31 December. The only ones who will continue to benefit from the reduction are those sectors whose activity is related to fuel consumption, such as freight and passenger carriers, from taxis to truck drivers, as well as workers in the agricultural and fishing industries.
For this reason, and so that the increase in fuel
don’t think it’s a blow to your walletas this can mean an additional cost of up to 10 euros per deposit (depending on the type of vehicle), a series of tips should be followed.
First,
never fill the tank. The more fuel the vehicle has, the greater its weight will be and therefore it will take more ‘energy’ to move. Many manufacturers recommend filling the tank to 50, 60 or 70 percent of its capacity to avoid overloading the car and thus spending more fuel than necessary, Oscaro said. Therefore, when refueling, it is best not to fill the tank to 100%.
Use the correct fuel. Certain vehicles must use better quality fuels, as is the case with high-end vehicles. It should be borne in mind that most vehicles can function perfectly with medium fuel, as it meets European quality standards. This way you don’t spend more money than is necessary on fuel for the vehicle. If you do not know which gasoline to use, at least use the gasoline specified by the manufacturer in the vehicle manual.
Don’t forget either
clean internal components. There are products on the market that can reduce fuel consumption by up to 30% when used correctly. Such is the case of fuel additives, the main function of which is to clean the injectors responsible for supplying fuel to the engine. These products improve the flow of gasoline or diesel and increase the performance of the vehicle, as well as reduce the noise and wear of the engine itself.
Similarly, vehicle speed is a key factor when talking about fuel usage and economy. One of the best ways to use fuel efficiently is to keep the speed of our vehicle constant. For this we can use the cruising speed, a function that a large part of the cars on the road have today. Even with changes in grade, the cruising speed ensures that the vehicle maintains a constant speed, intelligently saving fuel.
Y
use the correct gears. If we drive the car at high revs we will burn more petrol than necessary and the same will happen if we drive at low revs as the injector is open more than necessary allowing more petrol to enter the engine . Most vehicles produced in recent years usually have an indication of the gear to use based on the speed at which we are driving. If, on the other hand, your vehicle does not have this recommendation, you should listen and pay attention to the noise of the engine revs, keeping the revs neither too low nor too low.
Also
use neutral As we approach a traffic light and gradually slow down, that’s something that, contrary to popular belief, uses more gasoline than we think. However, when we use the engine brake and take our foot off the accelerator, we prevent more fuel from entering and the vehicle gradually stops on its own. In this way we not only increase fuel consumption, but also extend the life of the clutch and brakes.
In addition to monitoring the condition of the tires as the wheels directly affect fuel consumption. They are the only elements of the car that are in contact with the ground, so good tire condition and the correct pressure will reduce the vehicle’s fuel consumption. If the wheels do not have the ideal pressure indicated by the manufacturer or if the tread is very worn, we increase the friction of the tire on the asphalt and therefore the vehicle needs more force to move.
Finally,
reduce load. Overloading the vehicle is counterproductive to achieving our goal of saving fuel. Reducing the amount of luggage or things we carry in our car every day is a good way to start. For this we can use a trunk organizer, where we store everything necessary for our daily life and for the vehicle. Remember that the more the vehicle is loaded, the more fuel it needs to move.
