I love Road trips continue to fuel the growing cost of long-distance drive of my mood could be a damper. Gas prices for the last excursion, I wanted to share this article on how to manage the fuel. As a student, I did not have a lot of money and fuel cost to me was always a big issue. Improving gas mileage with the gas I save money for a lot of ways I learned. If you travel outside of the purchase of a car and more fuel efficient, how many things there are to reduce your fuel costs will help you too. Most of the management style requires only minor adjustments. I have a number of well-known techniques, such as a student and I used it, am going to review some of their own. I am always in my car's gas mileage than some have been able to (even if the number of meetings is not very difficult). Gas prices of the previous article, I am here to be this high prices that we really never speculated for a less expensive gas. In this article, you talk a little about what can do to save gas will go.
Hybrid Car Gas Mileage Improvement: Update: This article and learned that he wrote in hybrids, a new technology help me, I got two Hybrid cars
Changing Your Habits Road
Brake the right way
1. This accelerates the gas used as a car. In this case, (the power is equal to mass times acceleration), the law's just a physical. A motor gasoline, a move (for the inherent inertia) does not need to act to save. This means in real life, to improve your mileage, you'll need to keep a smooth ride. Me some examples býrakayým.
Approximately 30% of drivers of heavy traffic from a single high-speed accelerator with the control pad can probably see. Instead, all I have to speed up and when the kids slam the brakes were. It is clear that a very very close to the nerve behind the need to constantly braking and acceleration of the man he is. indeed, (but still moving) in the heavy traffic of motor vehicles on the 90% of this. This is a car without stepping on the brake to easy to speed in a long line. A little more practice and try to keep the distance. If you scroll down all the way down, you seldom need to brake. If you (only one right in front of your nose, but ahead of other cars), and attention to the next car if you slow things down when off-gas may reduce the estimate. In this case, (the brakes) that all the friction, without the power to accelerate the speed and lose the means you can save. The most effective way to save gas and the heavy traffic it can get easily 10% - 20% better gas kilometers.
Hybrid drive
2. If you own a hybrid powered car, the report of the above applies to you. Avoid high-speed braking. Hybrid cars in braking power into electric power, and the ability to store batteries, they have. However, this (induction) will only be no more braking power. If you need to slow down more quickly, and the brakes will be engaged in the energy will be lost.
So after you last minute slam on the brakes and the brake is a very fast, approaching a traffic light is better. This will increase the efficiency of your hybrid car.
Traffic light in front of me started rolling and green started to slow down quickly before the car keys, often a complete stop (regular car), can prevent the next. This way I can save some, such as inertia, and (- more gas saved <) do not have to accelerate more.
Turn off your air-condition
3. It may be possible in some places such as this. Summer weather in Arizona to turn off my car I will never dare to be. But I also know that my air conditioner will reduce the burden of fuel economy than my car's engine for compression. I do not need to try not to use the air conditioner.
Park your car can be a shadow, if such a place to go when you are working as hard not to AC.
If you (a high degree of theft areas may be a good idea) is only a small Windows Roll parked in the lower, the road to the air time you can.
Continue to work until the last second before the goal, and you do not turn off the AC for 5 minutes.
Manual variable
4. A gear shift is really fantastic. I can only recommend everyone to try it out. Your effective (at a low RPM) is a variable changing sports (at higher RPM) or to the fuel, rather than some can. How "intelligent" automatic transmission, they are as smart as you are not, is. in connection with an auto transmission depends on the way, where the losses are more related to the automatic transmission. The transmission of fuel may be more effective than a general one.
If you have a gear shift, and some want to save gas, first of all, you'll need to shift up and down of late.
Most of the people, a complete BS I'm sorry, that should shift at certain RPM, to get education. You need to shift out of cars and trucks for a number felt the situation required. that is a mountain of cars and many more need to take a higher RPM (or any other of these jumps) should be at the management. On the other hand, you are gliding along an empty road, a very low RPM (high gear) you can drive it. Then if you want to speed up, shift down quickly go higher and faster shift (a bit more power required). I always feel the car shift and I rarely see any RPM (or the boredom that is my entertainment, I, or, indeed, race, and I want to shift before the red line, except if required).
Automatic variable
5. If you have a Cruise Control traffic is all the more, in order (and, therefore, will continue to accelerate the speed of continuous there is no need) to use.
6. This is usually low and your wallet happy, as you will continue to RPM, use overdrive gears.
7. Shift into neutral when standing still to reduce transmission strain and cool transfer.
This article is less than the following comments, more information has been added to a number of floating.
Reduce weight 8. is equal to mass times the acceleration force returned. We need to speed up a little more certain. In addition, the main drain, and you do not need to (keep your spare tire and the cab, but to get rid of gardening equipment) to reduce the mass of the car by removing heavy items that you can try.
Back off for a car
9. turn on the car, he uses bits of gas. car idling, it is a period of time (especially on AC) in the amount of gas is determined.
If you turn off the car for 20 seconds and then, if the scenarios (depending on the car), you will have a positive energy balance.
A long traffic light sequences, railroad crossings or while waiting for the better half of the ATMs out of cash you can turn off the car means you can save gas. For you at any time after 30 years of move that is not, or feel you need to turn off the engine to support the budget holiday 1minute.
Drive slowly
10. Yeah right. It is clear that I am off thats all I leadfoot drive the stock is nothing. Yes, this high-speed driving, and drag (turbulence) and thus will increase the legal speed limit myself, but I just can not bring the following drive, the fuel consumption is increasing evidence that you said. This's your choice. 60mph and 65mph in terms of fuel consumption is not much difference between the. However, I am from Germany (no speed limit) was increased. A car / (depending on the vehicle), these two times on the 160km h / would have more control at the maximum speed of 200km of gas, such as that consumed during the race h. At the end of the energy spectrum of the top engines are very inefficient.
Preparation
11. I commute a long distance in preparation for a long time ago was using some good mileage. It is clear that this requires a little skill, and it is not exactly recommended, since you are the way of attention, and we do not read all of it's just most people. However, I am probably saving tips you can give a good "secret" is one of the fuel.
This technique is often faster and truck convoys to save fuel and save the race car drivers are used by the.
Each vehicle drag (or wind resistance) has a particular. This drag, rolling resistance tires you (see below under the care) and low-friction engine with the efficiency of the three main reasons. motor vehicle and the vehicle moving through the air turbulence around the air behind the causes for air. If you drive a car enter the slipstream other cars, both cars (less turbulence) and save fuel. The following car saves the most gasoline.
Now I am not tailgate for the defense, I remember. However, a large truck (or slipstream turbulence, and a long tail), where you can try to find a landslide. And still now (NASCAR driver than this) is still a distance can save your gas.
However, many people (see above) without braking and can not regulate their speed. In this case, when, and maybe the distance is not a holding brake is better off.
Close Windows
12. He believed, or, in Windows, but you will eventually increase in fuel costs of opening and turbulences. If you can, use a car only the ventilation system. I really can not measure it against the use of air-conditioning. I have a low speed and high-speed Windows boot using the air conditioner is better fuel economy, I believe.
Fill up with the Arco
13. squeezing the most money to the poor each year after the new year, a record earnings, Chevron and Shell are accepted. They Techron, V-Power and some other BS words such as buzzwords to advertise their expensive gasoline. According to that, they better make a profit is it to sell gas in some expensive stuff. In fact, all the petrol and gas stations in the same pipeline, the only difference with the flow of gas into the magic stuff they have is a clean burning fuel or better fuel efficiency claim is weak. At the same time, the average gas price is about 10c - Cheap gas stations in the neighborhood and other above-30C. Souped-up high tech additive gas spritz Techron I have a tank full off Arco vs. a tank of gas mileage the whole time, I can see no difference. And then, of course, all squeaky clean after filling up my wallet, if it cleans anything.
Yes, I am tired of financing these mega-billions of empires. Arco I get my gas and I never have any problems with the quality. Indeed, the hard-earned dollars to take free of charge to the Chevron (pay 10% more than the 3% saving on their rebate cards - another high-priced gas to tie the customer scam), and their magic bullet fuel additives or Shell in what you hope for a something.
Now let me up the second. Sometimes, I actually go to Chevron to fill. I have a car wash discounts apply to the full 8 gallons into my tank left.
14. When I am on the road, try to keep an eye open for the price of gas along the road. I see the price jumping down, I usually fill up. Some gas stations to offer free coffee and a free hot dog to fill their gas across the gas and the cost of gas if I go for coffee.
Select the best route
15. Try to avoid heavy traffic and transport more electricity. If you have a lot to stop shortcut is not always the most fuel efficient.
Cheap Car care
Cheap car care why? I do, I really, you will help increase the bottom line of fuel additives or special tires for any other offers or spend a lot of money and do not believe that's what this post. For example, your oil every 5,000 miles instead of 3000 miles (oil change, but often do not have to save money) than if you change the fuel economy that is suffering from, do not believe.
Pump it
16. inflate tires to determine the level (I usually go to the above about 0.2 PSI). This is the way to reduce tire friction and therefore reduce the contact area. This will help you to get a little advanced gas mileage.
17. If you do not need Snow Tires or Chains, and remove them. Snow Tyres Do not drive around all summer. They are soft and the friction will have a deeper profile.
A small car rental
18. that the equations of mass and acceleration Save? Well, a small car has always been a good fuel economy for its small mass. Smart budget travelers therefore rent a car in the small car is the status of the brightest do not care much about. On the contrary, they save all their gas money (they do not have to drive over time) at the end of the day to face with a good drink. View as a honorary pictures of their vacation, they still have a great pressure for change in services.
To reduce drag
19. Why drive around with that ski, bike rack, cargo, or you do not need it is your roof? You refuse, it increases the wind resistance your vehicle? Well I do now. Serious, to remove, it is very fuel will save you a little bit.
Eco Tuning
20. Chip tuning for the gas engine when the amount of water at the back is a great way to use. Today buzzword is eco tuning. Increase your energy-saving gas at the same time a lot of players to replace the engine computer chips offer. How this is possible? This reduction in the long article short, they improve the curve the two ends. At the end you are at the top (with a low efficiency) at the end of better efficiency and lower to a higher power. What used to select the mode with the feet of gas. ensure you do not want to lose you, make sure to use approved manufacturer player.
Use the correct grade motor oil
21. tells us about the solution rather than the oil level. If you use the wrong grade, you may be friction in the engine. This will be hotter and uses more gas.
Air filters
23. Change the air, or you need the right mix can not be filtered. But (with the money to do it) Do not replace it every time the mechanic to tell you. The new filter is a need to try to find out how often.
Turn off lights
24. Yes, it can be a security concern. Many Rental Car companies more efficient and effective Daylights have their age. However, an electric motor manufacturing equipment more energy will increase its load is powered from the alternator. that you can safely, turn off the lights.
Drive less
Shall not discuss here, such as reading.
Carpool
25. Well, two people riding a car, if it is cut in half the per capita use of gas immediately. If you have 4 people sharing a ride, only a third of them is an individual Bill of gas. since they now can use the carpool lanes, they (more than an empty gas engines used), such as traffic and more time consuming to get better gas mileage is not, plus they get home quickly. It is not always possible.
Combine trips
26. Try to combine trips. If you live outside the city, the city only once, and done everything required to get passes to enter.
Fuel efficient Cars
27. If a new vehicle market, the fuel efficiency is considered to be the absolute. New car market, but I have to get better fuel economy is not just a hybrid. How to save money and more than one year can easily calculate the weight of the car that cost (plus the potentially higher maintenance costs) against.
28. Its overall, long-distance drives, but is not known diesel engines and gas mileage may be better than hybrids. This's one of the reasons, hybrids are popular in Europe, but diesel is not.
Bonus:
29. all these years and we have already found that the weight of a gas such as, Do not fill in the blank (equal to the force .... - you know). But I usually only when gas prices falling, or constant (so I have to wait longer and get cheaper gas) do not. When I fill out the quick rising gas prices. According to the psychological impact on the increasing gas prices, people over more often reflect the full amount, no.
30. The list is growing. One of them offered an excellent forum for the trucks. Download the tailgate and the truck, Ronald, and to improve the aerodynamics of gas mileage can get better. Sounds plausible.
31. After a long dry stretch, I also encountered the first gas station, almost never mentioned that the cheap. A national park did not have a chance to leave the gas for a long time and then everyone pulls over to fill as soon as they are, as often the first station will be a little high prices. I usually drive a little more to find the cheapest station.
32. I am driving to gas stations in the first or major Interstate freeways do not have to appear on the filling. A visit to the city center and head for the way I usually am a medium-sized city on the act. I am really there before, I usually can find a better deal. Place in the local competition and other factors have determined the price fluctations. This is a very competitive (the mid-sized city) to seek and places (to be away from the main roads) is necessary to prevent general locations. Gas prices in big cities more often and are difficult to navigate. My last visit, I am, then the price is much lower than the station, I was in a tank is only a half-empty, but I had seen previously when pulled over. slightly different from the rules of the road trips. Fill out the cheapest place and time and to wait for yout tank is not empty.
