Currently, high gas prices are causing many consumers worried. Not everyone is eligible to give up old cars and switch to a new fuel saving hybrid or they themselves doesn’t feel convinced with "green" cars. Therefore, fuel economy performance is always something that many car users much concerned. Here are some "secret tips" simply to help consumers save gas without spending too much money or complex operations.


1. Regularly check engine

Regularly inspect the engine is one way to save the most fuel efficient

The engine equipped for  modern vehicles often depends largely on various electronic components which are easily damaged. Ability to ensure maximum fuel efficiency for the engine, the user should always take the car to the shop to check. Of course you will have to spend but in the long run you will save a decent amount.


2. Keeping an eye on tires

check tires to save gas for vehicle

You should make sure your tires are always at appropriate pressure. When running with a bit flat tire, the vehicle will consume more fuel than normal. Remember to check your tires at least once a month. Before checking tires, get in the car and run a few “booting” rounds. This way, the tire will heat up, thus allowing you to test more accurately.


3. Remove unnecessary stuffs

The presence of these unnecessary objects will lead to weight increase and consume more fuel. Therefore, when not needed, you should put down the stuffs such as folding chairs, tool box ... at home. Even the roof racks and glove box may also need to be remove if you don’t use them during the trip. These things will reduce aerodynamics of the vehicle, which consumes fuel.


4. Avoid stopping in the middle for too long

The engine when’s hot is always more fuel efficient than cool. So you should be constantly moving instead of stopping halfway repeatedly for so long that the engine may revert to cold.


5. Route laid out

Take some time to plan ahead for trips to avoid traffic jams or getting lost. You should choose the best route to go and identify the destination. If you get lost, not only time consuming but also "burn" a fairly large amount of wasted fuel.


6. Reduce speed

Just slow down a bit, you can also save a considerable amount of fuel. According to studies, when running at a speed of 112 km / h (70 mph), the car will "consume" 9% fuel more compared to 96 km / h (60 mph). Meanwhile, the difference between 128 km / h ( 80mph) and 112 km / h (60 mph) is up to 25%.


7. Observe carefully the road

Most drivers can save fuel efficiently by observing the road ahead. You ought to stop slowly when the traffic signal lights are about to turn red instead of trying to hit the gas pedal to pass. Doing so not only ensures safety for yourself and people around, but you also avoid unnecessary immediate acceleration or braking.


Driving slowly helps you avoid acceleration and shift too sharply, thus saving fuel efficiency. If you need to stop for more than two minutes, you should disconnect the engine to save fuel. The modern cars don’t need much fuel to restart.


8. Disconnect the air conditioning when not needed
Use air conditioning reasonably can significantly reduce fuel consumption

Most newer vehicles are equipped with air conditioning. If you and your passengers feels too much of uncomfortable, turn off air conditioners to reduce the pressure for the engine. However, do not turn off air conditioners in a long time because the harmful bacteria will appear. Every two weeks, you should turn on the air conditioning on for at least several minutes to just save fuel without causing harm.

 
In addition, open the car windows when running at high speed to replace the air conditioning is a wise decision. The simple reason is because opened windows would result in increased drag coefficient, pulling a lot of fuel. Thus, you should close the windows and sunroof when running at high speed to save more fuel.


9. Rational usage of cars

If you don’t need to move over long distances, you can choose the means of transport other than cars. For example, you can walk or bicycle to enhance health and save gas cost.

The current line of small cars fuel economy is quite effective

Currently, the market has a lot of fuel-efficient vehicles to choose from. If you are looking to change cars, you should choose the smaller product lines to save fuel. The study said newer vehicles are more fuel efficient. Moreover, all modern cars have included specific details on fuel consumption so you can easily compare and choose for yourselfs the most suitable product.
