Description
The car is not an efficient mode of transportation. However, if the vehicle is well maintained, driven smoothly and situations that increase wind resistance when driving are avoided, a reduction in fuel consumption of between 10 and 25% can be achieved.
What can I do?
Start the engine without accelerating.- Drive at a steady and proper speed, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration and unnecessary gear changes.
- When speeding should be reduced and possible, use the engine brake instead of using the brake pedal.
- Drive longer gears so that the engine runs less revs and consumes less.
- Avoid driving with the windows open because of fuel consumption
it will be higher due to greater resistance to movement. - Use the car’s air conditioning system responsibly. The temperature of the air conditioning should be above 23-24 ° C.
- Turn off the engine if you have to stand still for more than a minute.
- Perform proper maintenance of the car and make regular inspections, especially of tire pressure.
