TIPS FOR REDUCING FUEL CONSUMPTION IN CARS



     Maintaining the car is the very important to have a better performance. The consumption of fuel is also must be watched to maintain an engine in good condition and also to save money. The basic tips that were collected in the net to reduce the fuel consumption are as follows.


Turn off the car
        It is advised to turn off the car when it is idle, because when it is idle for more than 10 seconds it will consume more fuel than re starting the engine

Check out the tires
       Tires also must be checked regularly, because under-inflated tires increase the level of fuel consumption of the vehicle. Please do checking the tire pressure once in a month.

Avoid dragging the engine
It is advised to have a slow driving while climbing on long hills and also applying light throttle while climbing hills can also save fuel protects the engine from overheating.

Gradually increase speed
Always have a gradual start and also stop it in a steady manner.

Avoid any jerks
Many people end up constantly pumping the throttle, which leads to unwanted loss of fuel.

Stay in low gears
Shifting gears at the lowest revolutions per minute assists in improving your gas mileage.

Keep windows shut
Even windows also help in reducing the fuel consumption. Driving with windows open will reduce the fuel efficiency. So it is better to keep windows shut and the air conditioning on instead.

Use duel saver tires
While looking for replacement tires, it is advised to look for the duel saver types. They will have labels on them such as economizer, low rolling resistance or even labels like energy.

Stabilize the speed of the vehicle
Make more use of the advanced technologies like cruise control on highways, as this will help to promote consistent speed and increase the fuel efficiency.

Get regular tune-ups
It is advised to have a regular tune up when ever starting for a trip, because it will reduce the future problems with engines while driving rather than reducing the fuel consumption

Drive straight
Avoid turning wherever possible, because more fuel is consumed in turnings and also waiting for turnings. So avoid unwanted turnings. 


     Avoid traffic congestion
 Frequent stopping consumes a huge amount of fuel. So drive accordingly to save fuel.
