Saving on Fuel Consumption

No one would disagree that all of us these days should to do some measures to cut down our fuel consumption. With the prices of petroleum hitting US$150 per barrel, who wouldn’t want to save cash on gas? Here are a few tips to help you reduce your gas expenditures:

1. Check the condition of your tires at all times. Make sure that your tires are properly inflated. They should not be under or over inflated.

2. Don’t drive large vehicles such as SUVs or trucks. Did you know that the heavier the car, the more fuel it consumes? Opt for fuel efficient cars. Before purchasing a new vehicle, look into the details of its engine and know the fuel efficiency of it.

3. Avoid using the aircon if not necessary. Car airconditioning consumes high energy so switch it off when not in use.

4. Whenever you drive, plan your route and use your driving itinerary well. You can utilize every drop of fuel if you do this. For example, if you will fetch your kids from school, it is a wise idea to drop by to supermarkets or make an appoinment with the salon. As much as possible, travel during non-peak hours. Prevent entering streets with heavy traffic during rush time.

5. Be consistent with your driving speed. Too much acceleration also means too much fuel consumption. Never exceed within the legal speed limit. Traveling at fast rates can consume up to 45% more gasoline. Avoid being aggressive when you hit the road. You’re wasting gasoline whenever you make sudden breaks and speed changes. It will not only consume a lot of gas but can also damage your engine.

6. Car detailing and maintainance is also important to save on fuel consumption. Make sure that your car, particularly its engine, is well maintained. To improve the fuel efficiency if your auto, change the oil, check the tyres, and tune the car engine on a regular basis.
