These 5 driving habits really waste fuel! Many experienced drivers don’t know...

Friends who love cars

You often hear conversations like this:

How much fuel does your car consume per 100 kilometers?

Is your car consuming too much fuel?

While driving the vehicle

Different driving habits and driving skills

It is also a factor that has a greater impact on fuel consumption.

Vehicles should be regularly maintained and serviced

Driving requires skills

Bad driving habits

Not only will it damage the car, it will also increase the cost of using the car

Leading to increased fuel consumption

Today, I will tell you about

What are the driving habits that consume more fuel?

▼▼▼

I didn't control the speed well, the car was driving fast and slow at times.

For novice drivers, if they cannot control the accelerator and brake force, the speed of the car will change frequently, which is very fuel-consuming. When the car is driving at a constant speed, the fuel consumption is lower than when it is driving fast or slow. In addition, different cars have an economic speed of about 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed is higher or lower than this, the fuel consumption will increase.

Of course, it also depends on the displacement of the car. The smaller the displacement, the lower the economic speed. The economic speed of an ordinary family car is between 60-80 kilometers per hour. If you know the economic speed of the car, driving at this speed will be very fuel-efficient.

Violent driving behaviors such as slamming on the accelerator or brakes

For young people, these operations are very exciting for driving, but on congested roads, it is difficult for the car to move forward. Frequent heavy acceleration or braking will have an impact on the car, which is undoubtedly a harmful behavior.

Therefore, car owners should try to be gentle when driving, especially when stepping on the brakes, and learn to brake continuously. This will not only reduce the speed of the car, but also reduce fuel consumption, and people sitting in the car will have a better riding experience.

In manual transmission cars, the driving habit of "high gear and low speed"

"High gear and low speed" not only wastes fuel, but also damages the gearbox. If the vehicle speed is only 20 km/h, and the gear is still in 4th gear, it may be forgotten, but manual gear and automatic gear are different, and gear switching requires manual operation.

Some car owners fail to change gears in time, for example, they need to change gears when the engine speed is 2000 rpm, but they don't have time to change gears, and wait until the engine speed rises to 2400 rpm before changing gears. During this period, fuel consumption will increase. Some car owners may think that this time does not cost much fuel, but for most people, especially when oil prices are high, fuel consumption will affect the cost of using the car.

Does not use the vehicle's inertia to reduce fuel consumption

To give a simple example, if there is an intersection ahead and the traffic light shows red, many novice car owners will accelerate to the intersection.

Even if you rush to the intersection, you can only wait there, while some experienced drivers will release the accelerator in advance and use inertia to stop the car steadily in front of the stop line.

Let the car idle for a long time

For example, in the summer, if your car is parked on the side of the road with the air conditioner and music on and idling for a long time, it will not only damage the car but also increase fuel consumption sharply.

In winter, especially in the north, the car needs to be warmed up the next day after being parked overnight. Some car owners need to warm it up for 5 minutes. In fact, warming up the car in situ for one or two minutes is enough. As long as the car is not driven violently after starting, and it can be driven normally after driving slowly for a distance, the fuel consumption will be avoided.

Obviously, to protect your car

Steady driving is the key

Good driving habits are very important

So, how can you make your car more fuel efficient?

Good vehicle condition is the basis for saving fuel

Maintaining a vehicle in good condition is a basic condition for saving fuel, which requires careful daily maintenance, timely routine maintenance of the engine, and inspection and maintenance of the vehicle's driving system.

Developing good driving habits is the key to saving fuel

■ When the road conditions allow, try to keep the vehicle at an economic speed. The economic speed of the car can be found in the vehicle manual. The economic speed of a general family car is between 75-90km/h.

■ Avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration while driving, and master the correct gear shifting timing. When stuck in a crowded traffic flow, control the throttle and speed properly, and use coasting to save fuel.

■ When starting a cold engine, try to avoid extending the engine warm-up time and unnecessary idling. Allow 1-2 minutes for the engine oil to reach all lubrication parts after starting the vehicle, then control the vehicle speed appropriately within 5 minutes after starting.

Driving to save fuel

Good driving habits are important

Remember

↓↓↓

Maintain economical speed

Avoid stepping on the accelerator when starting

Idle speed no more than 10 minutes

Avoid driving long distances at low speeds

Don't slam on the brakes often

To achieve fuel saving
