How to reduce fuel consumption of cars

1. Full tire pressure

Make sure the tire pressure is normal. Too high or too low tire pressure will increase fuel consumption. The tire pressure of the car should be strictly in accordance with the requirements of the manual of each car.

2. Half a tank of gas

Reducing the weight of the car body means reducing fuel consumption. Don't drive around the city with a full tank of gas. It's best to keep three-quarters of the tank full. At the same time, the items in the car must be streamlined. The less weight, the more fuel saved.

3. Try not to install car decorations that increase wind resistance

Many car owners like to install various car decorations on their cars, such as roof racks, ceiling lights, and large body kits. Although they look very unique, these small items exposed outside the car body will greatly increase the car's wind resistance coefficient, which is more obvious at higher speeds. The greater the wind resistance of the car, the more fuel it will consume.

What are some tips for driving with less fuel?

1. The most practical and effective way to save fuel is to maintain steady driving while driving. For small-displacement cars, it is best to maintain a speed between 60 and 80 km, while for large-displacement cars, it is best to maintain a speed between 80 and 100 km.

2. Try to control the driving gear as much as possible. When starting, it is best to shift to a low gear, accelerate slowly, and try to avoid braking.

3. Before driving, you can observe the route first. If there is a congested road, it is best to drive around it. Because in a traffic jam, the car not only cannot move, but also has to be in a running state all the time, which is a waste of fuel.

4. The weight of the car body will also increase fuel consumption. Therefore, if some items in the car are of no use at the moment while driving, try to take them down to reduce the weight of the car.

When driving, keep these fuel-saving tips in mind to ensure that fuel consumption is reduced to a minimum and achieve the goal of saving fuel.
