Tips for saving fuel

The price of oil and oil went hand in hand and ran high, leaving behind friends who wanted to buy a car, and the riders who had already started to feel uneasy to raise the car. In fact, the cultivation of good driving habits can reduce fuel consumption. Here are a few tips that let us work together to save fuel.

Fast

The hand is actually a shift action. The shift must be done quickly, accurately, and agilely, shortening the operating time for shifting as much as possible, reducing the kinetic energy loss of the car, and saving fuel. On flat roads, use direct-drive as much as possible. If the vehicle's driving resistance is greater than the traction, it should be promptly swapped into a lower gear, otherwise it will force the engine to slow down and work instability, resulting in reduced power and increased fuel consumption. Second, when shifting from a high gear to a low gear, it is necessary to shift gears before the inertial force of the motor vehicle disappears too much. If the gears disappear too much, then shifting gears is equivalent to restarting the vehicle and accelerating. This would be very costly. Summarized into a sentence: timely shift, do not delay.

Lightweight

Step on the gas pedal lighter. The first step is to control the position of the accelerator pedal when starting. When starting, the accelerator pedal should be slightly higher than the idle speed. Do not press the throttle in the end. Otherwise, too much fuel will enter the cylinder and it will “drown” the spark plug. It is not easy to start. Even if it is started, there is a black smoke behind it. This virtually consumed more fuel.

Second, slowly accelerate. Experiments have shown that the car accelerates from the start up to 30 km/h, and the fuel consumption using rapid acceleration (below 25 seconds) is approximately 2 times slower (about 40 seconds). Every day, the car starts and accelerates numerous times, accumulating less, and the fuel-saving effect of slow acceleration is considerable.

Third, driving at a moderate speed. The speed is too high or too low to consume oil. The most fuel-efficient speed is economic speed. The reason is very simple. When the speed is too fast, the engine speed is also high, and the intake and exhaust gas flow speeds up, leading to lower intake pressure and increased exhaust resistance. At the same time as the speed increases, the inertial force of the moving parts increases, the friction loss increases, and the fuel consumption increases.

Fourth, don't press the throttle in the end when going uphill. When you step up the slope, it will not only consume fuel, but will often not help flush slopes. When using the low speed uphill, the throttle to step down 1/2 ~ 2/3 stroke is appropriate; when using high speed block slope, if the throttle step 3/4 stroke and the engine failed to increase the speed, it should be Timely into a lower gear.

Fifth, do not smash the empty oil before the flameout. According to the test, every time an automobile empties an empty oil, it will consume 10 to 40 milliliters more. The chaos of empty oil will not only lead to insufficient fuel combustion, increase fuel consumption, but also increase the amount of carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and aggravate part wear.

Smart belt

Skillfully stepping on the brake pedal. The old driver always handles various situations in advance, uses the brakes as little as possible, and uses the brakes appropriately when necessary according to the needs of roads and traffic conditions. The essence of braking is the friction between the automobile tire and the road surface, between the brake shoe and the brake drum, and the kinetic energy of the car is converted into heat energy. These kinetic energy are obtained by the combustion of fuel, and frequent use will inevitably increase the consumption of fuel. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce emergency braking as much as possible, to prevent the wheels from being thrown to a halt and to slip sideways. For this reason, it is necessary to adopt predictive braking. When it is predicted that the vehicle must decelerate or stop, it is necessary to loosen the accelerator pedal in advance and bring the shift lever into neutral gear to coast and decelerate. After the situation is processed, the acceleration is advanced. This is safe and time-saving. oil.

More slippery

Use more cars to coast. When the car is on the road, the power transmission of the engine is released, and the vehicle continues to travel depending on the kinetic energy (inertial force) of the car or the position of the vehicle on the downhill slope. It must be noted that the engine must not be extinguished during taxiing and the speed of taxiing must not exceed 40 km/h to ensure traffic safety.

The above four points are good driving habits summarized by some old drivers. They can also be said to be the most basic driving habits. They are very suitable for newcomers who have not developed good driving habits. As long as you can surely lower your fuel consumption by the above four points, it is still the way to save fuel.

It is not impossible to save fuel. It is important for you to discover and practice. Of course, the fuel-saving skills are far more than just these. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I believe there are many fuel-saving pioneers in the vast number of riders. Let’s share it so that the majority of car owners can learn.
