Develop a good driving mentality
Walking on the street, you often meet some drivers with a hot temper. They snatched forward anxiously for a long time, and finally they had to be ranked first and wait for the red light. In fact, the vehicle is the most fuel-intensive when it starts and accelerates, and frequent overtaking and connecting the throttle is even more expensive. So no matter how urgent your temper is, as long as there is no urgent matter, you should change your driving method.
Every time you press the brake pedal, it means that the energy consumption you used to refuel just now cannot be converted into kinetic energy, but will be resolved in the form of brake thermal energy. Therefore, in order to make every drop of oil be used on the road ahead, it is very important to learn to drive foresight. In addition, reasonable gearing is very important, and low-speed high gearing will definitely not save fuel. Another very important point is the speed. When the car's driving speed exceeds 120km/h, a large part of the engine's power must be used to overcome the car's wind resistance, especially when the car's driving speed exceeds 150km/h, the fuel consumption will surge by 2 to 3 times compared to normal driving conditions.
Put down everything you can put down
Before talking about fuel saving, let's talk about several important factors that affect car fuel consumption. The first is weight, speed, and of course, driving method, body design, mechanical performance, maintenance status, etc. But what we can do in this is to reduce the burden. Automotive engineers often say: It is better to let the car lose 10 kilograms of weight than to increase the engine's power by 5kW. It can be seen how much the weight of a car will affect the driving performance and fuel consumption of a car.
Many car owners like to decorate their cars like their homes, with all kinds of toys and daily necessities, and the trunk is even more full. In fact, excessive burden will not only reduce the acceleration capability of the car, but will also consume a lot of energy in vain. So starting today, put all the uncommon things home.
Automatic transmission can also save fuel
Don't think that fuel saving is just for manual transmission cars. As long as you learn to cooperate with your own automatic transmission, automatic transmission cars can also achieve fewer faults and lower fuel consumption.
Many drivers driving automatic transmission cars believe that as long as they hang on the D gear and step on the accelerator, everything will be fine. However, they do not know that automatic transmission cars also pay attention to driving skills. Generally speaking, the gear set in the first gear is relatively large at the start, so it will quickly enter the second gear, but the driving process after the second gear is more knowledgeable, because at this time, as long as you step on the accelerator a little harder, the driving computer will default to the driver need more power, and then delay the time for shifting. At this time, if the driver lifts the accelerator a little, the computer will default to be sufficient and raise one gear by speed.
In addition, although cars with automatic transmissions save the trouble of frequent gear shifts, the several gears next to the gear lever are still useful. For example, when waiting for the red light for a long time, the gear should be switched to the N (neutral) position; and when walking on a mountain road with many slopes, 3 or OD gear should be selected, because this can avoid frequent gear shifts of the gearbox, which not only saves fuel, but also protects the gearbox.
Maintain good car condition
I often hear some car owners complain that after driving for two or three years, it is not as fuel-efficient as a new car, and the noise begins to increase. Putting aside normal wear and tear, in many cases, it is caused by improper maintenance of the car by the car owner. Even in the same car, the fuel consumption and performance of different quality motor oil and tires of different brands will vary.
