Most people in Sri Lanka need to improve their knowledge of fuel economy day by day. Whether you travelling for work, love taking road trips, or just care about the expenses, you can always do more regarding the management of your vehicle’s fuel costs. Here are the top Car tips to help improve fuel economy while you are driving your car.
– Reduce extra unnecessary trips and fuel waste.
– When coming out of a complete stop, accelerate slowly.
– Slow down. If you travel at 100 kmph instead of 110 kmph on your 30 km highway commute, you could save an estimated 5 liters of gasoline a week depending on the vehicle and situation.
– On the cold days, don’t spend too long warming up your car. This is a fuel waster. Don’t drive too soon, either. Look at your car’s coolant temperature or ambient temperature gauge. Start driving when your engine is at normal operating temperature.
– On hot days, avoid driving during the hottest time of the day. By driving when it is cooler, you can conserve fuel. Cooler air is denser and can help gasoline mileage.
– While it may seem dragging due to wind force, use air conditioning. Modern car air conditioners are efficient and create less drag on the engine than driving with the windows open at higher speeds.
– When approaching a red light or stop sign, take your foot off the gasoline early. Even that small pause in wasted acceleration can help improve your fuel economy.
