Low fuel consumption is only due to these habits, five methods teach you how to save 600L of petrol in a year!

Sometimes, the fuel consumption of a car seems like a mystery. With the same model, some people can drive at 6L/100km, while others can drive at 8L/100km. If these two people drive 30,000km a year, the person with higher fuel consumption needs to add an extra 600L of gasoline, and the additional car costs are surely a huge amount.

If you've bought a car, the condition of the car is often something you cannot change. The only thing we can do is to adjust our daily car usage habits to achieve the goal of reducing fuel consumption. By mastering these few habits, you can effectively reduce fuel consumption and save 600L of gasoline a year!


Drive steadily and avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration



For many young people, they like to drive fast after buying a car, always wanting to overtake others on the road, but these behaviors lead to the highest fuel consumption. Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, as these behaviors will greatly increase fuel consumption. Try to keep the vehicle's speed stable and take advantage of the vehicle's inertia when driving. For example, when approaching an intersection, release the brakes a little earlier, instead of waiting until the intersection to brake suddenly.


Travel smart, choose free-flowing routes


As everyone knows, traffic jams are the most costly because the stop-and-go nature wastes a lot of energy. Therefore, choosing a traffic-smooth and shorter-distance route to drive, reducing unnecessary detours and reducing waiting time on congested roads, can effectively reduce fuel consumption. Besides, it is necessary to avoid going out during holiday periods, rush hours, and other congestion periods.


Control the speed to keep it in the optimal range


At low speeds, the efficiency of the car's engine cannot be fully utilized. At high speeds, its energy is wasted on overcoming wind resistance. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable speed is the key to fuel efficiency. Generally speaking, the economic speed of a vehicle is about 70-90 kilometers per hour, at which point the engine speed and vehicle speed are in an optimal range, resulting in relatively low fuel consumption.


Regular maintenance keeps the vehicle in optimal condition


Veteran car owners know that the older the car, the higher the fuel consumption will naturally be. Therefore, it is important to keep the vehicle in good condition, especially the engine's stability, tires, transmission system, and other components to prevent excessive wear. In cold weather, properly preheating the vehicle can improve the engine's working efficiency to reduce fuel consumption.


Use fuel-saving technology to achieve more obvious results


Understanding and applying the vehicle's fuel-saving technologies, such as the intelligent start-stop system, can turn off the engine during traffic jams to save fuel. In addition, many vehicles are now equipped with different driving modes. By frequently using the economy driving mode, the engine can avoid high speeds, which can, to a certain extent, reduce fuel consumption.


Summary


The purpose of saving fuel is to save money. By these fuel-saving good habits, car owners can significantly reduce fuel consumption and improve the fuel economy of the vehicle in daily driving. Especially for consumers who use cars frequently, a large amount of money can be saved in the long run.
