Give Up These 4 Things - And You'll Save a Lot of Fuel: Useful Tips for Motorists

09.10.2024 08:58

Many drivers complain about increased fuel consumption.

It is indeed unpleasant when petrol or diesel “disappears” too quickly.

This situation forces the motorist to visit gas stations too often and spend a lot of money.

Luckily, there are several ways to save fuel.

Just ignore risky approaches (for example, buying cheap fuel of dubious quality)!

Instead, consider the strategies below. They are safe and effective.

So, what should a driver give up in order to reduce fuel costs?

Sharp maneuvers

A motorist who wants to save fuel must stop being a reckless driver.

Rapid acceleration, sharp turns and braking - all this contributes to the accelerated "burning" of gasoline.

It is better to switch to a cautious driving style: accelerate more smoothly, reduce speed in advance. And then fuel consumption will decrease. And at the same time the safety level will increase.

Roof rack

It is better to remove this part (unless, of course, you are not using it).

The presence of a roof rack increases aerodynamic drag. This means that fuel consumption also increases.

Excess weight

Now about the main trunk... There shouldn't be anything extra there.

For example, heavy tools that you probably won't need during your trip should be left in the garage.

And also remove all junk from the luggage compartment.

Remember this simple rule: the lighter the load, the “easier” it is for the machine.

Tuning

The presence of any extra detail on the body makes the shape of the vehicle less streamlined.

The result is problems with aerodynamics and the need to frequently visit gas stations.

Decide what is more important to you - the unique appearance of the car or fuel economy.
