Steps to Be Fuel Efficient

In the coming days, the fossil fuels will get depleted due the more extraction of fossil fuel from the earth's crust. More over the gasoline price goes on increasing in the upcoming days so we need to have car with higher mileage in these upcoming days.

There are different ways to increase the fuel average of a car. Among those some of the ways are as follows:

- Firstly the car should be fuel efficient and this the best way to save money. There are many cars in the market which have higher mileage and replacing it with the non-fuel efficient cars will be the best choice.

- The car should be in a good condition and its engine should be problem free. The air filter should be cleaned if any dirt particles are left in the air filter which reduces the efficiency by 20%. More over the spark plug should be cleaned well as a poor conditioned spark plug will reduce the efficiency by 12%. Aftermarket kits like cold air intake will be best in this scenario.

- Next the most important thing is maintain the tires pressure and this saves the fuel up to 3.3%.

- More over the engine oil should be changed regularly in order to save the fuel.

- Use proper fuel as right gasoline will give efficient combustion and knocking can be avoided.

- Light weight should be carried and over load should be avoided so that fuel efficiency will increase.

- Drive at constant speed on the highways so as to save the fuel. Going too fast leads to more fuel consumption. Generally driving 60 miles per hour instead of 70 mph will save you 2-4 miles per gallon.

- Don't accelerate quickly as this leads to more fuel consumption this decreases the fuel efficiency.

- While waiting for someone or at traffic signals stop the engine in order to save fuel. This increases the efficiency up to 10%.

- Next thing is windows up which saves the fuel and on highway this can decrease the fuel economy by 10%.

- Making a proper plan of your trip will lead to save the fuel.

- Prefer walk for small distances and use of public transport so as to save the fuel.

- Buy the gasoline at a whole sale dealer so that we can get discount on the fuel.

- Over filling of gasoline should be avoided in order to save the fuel.

- Make sure the gas caps are closed tightly in order to avoid the leakage of gasoline.

- Using of premium gasoline fuel i.e., right octane level will increase the fuel efficiency and also increases the life of the engine.

- The car shape should be aerodynamically perfect so as to give good fuel efficiency.

- More over using of performance chip will increase the engine power and torque which in turn will increase the fuel efficiency of the car.

- Upgrading the car parts with latest one will also increase the fuel efficiency of the car.

- The car body should be of light weight so that more fuel will not be required while running and this increases the fuel efficiency.

- Braking will waste the energy produce by combustion and give acceleration will consume more power. So to avoid this constant speed should be maintained.

- Idling will lead to wastage of fuel so idling should be avoided by driving slow until the operating temperature is reached.
