Car overload

Stop putting too much stuff in your vehicle's luggage compartment.

Heavy loads significantly increase fuel consumption. In addition, the load on the suspension increases.

Driving on an almost empty tank

Many drivers are used to visiting the gas station only at the very last moment.

Don't wait until your fuel tank is almost empty. Arrive at the gas station early.

Otherwise, there will be problems with the fuel pump and filters.

Lean on the gear stick

Try not to lean too heavily on this device.

Otherwise, the gearshift lever will experience serious pressure and may begin to work worse.

It is too early to bring the internal combustion engine to high speeds

Don't rush or accelerate too quickly.

The vehicle's power unit should not reach high revs too early.

The start of each ride should be calm and not too fast. Otherwise, problems with the engine will arise.
