As the price of fuel is going up day by day and petrol/diesel being limited natural resource, it is imperative that necessary means to save fuel are taken up by each individual. I have jotted down some points that might be useful for saving fuel in day to day activities and contribute our part of greenery
Carry a Map – Always refer to either online map like GoogleMaps/MapQuest or refer to offline version before starting your travel
Air Pressure in Tires – Ensure you have proper air pressure in your vehicle tyres as per vehicle specifications
Timing for Fuel Filling – Fill the fuel either early moring or late in the evening when it will have maximum density. Avoid filling fuel during day time.
Driving Speed - Drive at a moderate speed of 50-60. Driving at higher speed will result in excess fuel consumption
Tyre Width - Use thinner tyres compared to thick tyres
Regular service - Send your vehicle for regular service. Ensure Air filters etc are cleaned regularly
Avoid high accelration – Avoid sudden high accelration as it will increase your fuel consumption. Keep the vehicle in higher gear so that RPMs are low
Avoid Abrupt Start – Avoid abrupt starts and it will take double the amount of fuel then it is required normally
Air Conditioner – Dont use Air conditioner for full journey. Switch it off when it is not required.
Follow a Truck/Bus – In heavy traffic, Bus/Truck mostly move at constant speed while individual cars accelrate and deaccelrate. Follow a bus/truck in heavy traffic.
Small vehicle is a better vehicle – If you have multiple vehicles, try to use smaller vehicle with less fuel consumption rather than taking big daddy out all the time
Use break correctly – Vehicles fuel consumption goes up at the time of accelration, drivers who accelrate and brake frequently consume more fuel. Drive at constant speed.
And most importantly keep your weigth low
. Burn some calories as it will definately help your vehicle go that extra mile. Usually you can achieve upto 20% of fuel savings by following some of above mentioned points.
