Many motorists face the problem of having to visit gas stations frequently and spend a lot of money on fuel.
Some drivers are sure that the problem is simply that the car is too “gluttonous”.
However, the problem may not be related to the vehicle itself, but to the mistakes made by the driver.
So, what driving mistakes lead to increased fuel consumption?
Incorrect driving style
Are you a daredevil? Then don't be surprised that your car has become "gluttonous"!
Be aware: abrupt maneuvers and too rapid acceleration lead to rapid fuel consumption.
Want to save fuel? Then switch to a more careful driving style: accelerate and brake smoothly, do not make turns at high speed.
Cold engine
Don't forget to warm up the engine before starting each journey.
Low tire pressure
This phenomenon leads to increased traction with the road surface. The result is rapid fuel consumption.
In addition, the condition of the tires deteriorates and there is a risk of getting into an accident.
Therefore, check your tire pressure periodically.
Driving with the windows open
Some drivers are sure that in hot summer fuel can be saved if you do not turn on the air conditioner, but open the window.
In fact, fuel consumption remains high anyway. The fact is that at high speed, open windows increase aerodynamic resistance. In addition, dust and dirt get into the car.
