How to save on gasoline

Only God knows how much fuel is burned how much in vain, while Moscow and is chugging along in traffic jams ostochertevshih. Everyone suffers: passengers and pedestrians from what has to breathe carbon monoxide, and drivers that in addition to time spent in passing consider a penny spent on precious fuel. Meanwhile, there are some fairly simple measures, which, when integrated use will reduce the cost of petrol almost doubled! So, the first step is to check the air filter. To use a dirty air filter on your car is like wiping the baby's nose last year with a handkerchief. Unusable filter restricts the flow of air flowing into the engine. And in the cylinders are best burned fuel-air mixture, with a lack of air for the same impact on the engine to burn more fuel to the order. Check and replace the air filter it a couple of minutes: remove it and lift up to the light - if light does not pass, the filter must be replaced. Also, in order to save should be used for engine "light" motor oils with low viscosity, based on synthetic or semi-synthetics. These oils reduce fuel consumption compared to conventional mineral oils with higher viscosity of up to 6%. Secondly, you need to check tire pressure. "Soft" tires - most common factor after a dirty filter, which directly affects fuel consumption. Should check the pressure in the cold tires, since the motion heats the air inside the tires and wheels. The heated gas expands and the pressure inside the wheel increases. In some cases, you can try to increase pressure on the 0,3 bar from the norm. This will reduce rolling resistance, and although the suspension parts and body will be transferred to high shock loads, the passengers of the little noticed. To spend less fuel - need to go slowly, plugs right this moment is not concerned. In traffic it is important to maintain a constant speed, and hence to monitor the conservation distatsnii. Indeed, in the rush hour cars have dramatically touch and jam on the brakes, which increases not only fuel but also the load on the nodes of the car. If we are talking about more or less free movement, try to ride a couple of days, not exceeding a speed of 90 mph - you will see that the refills will be called at least twice! Another tip - use the accelerator pedal gently. Sharp start - a sure way to use up the fuel wasted, because of sharp clicks on the gas pedal to the cylinders are fed large portions of the fuel. At low speeds you should not use overdrive, as the fuel consumption increases. It should also be avoided and abrupt braking, particularly in gasoline engines, where jets idling sucked out the excess fuel. Therefore, you should carefully monitor the situation on the road to slow down at the right time. If you want to be thrifty, get closer to nature: Turn off the air conditioner, he devours from 5 to 20% of the consumed fuel, open the windows and enjoy the fresh air. Maybe that's hotter and dirtier, but it will endure to the gas station in an emergency. And if you're afraid to sweat, but going to a place where you should be in full dress, just vozite a spare shirt or jacket. It should also get rid of everything that makes the car heavier and increases the resistance of the air: tuning, roof rack, junk in the trunk, etc. The more ornate and complex construction kit metal roof rack, the greater the aerodynamic drag they create, and it negatively affects on fuel consumption. Try not to change the serial-wheel drive, especially if it is a long trip - a long journey the effect of using narrow wheels quite noticeable. Paradoxically, but would save and riding on an old machine, which in modern Russian conditions, tend to be lower class and a smaller motor. Many people continue to make active use of the old car, even if you have already bought a new one. And although the new machine is larger and prettier, she probably eats more fuel than the old grit. Though the old machine and it looks worse, but will pass it any longer. So do not throw away your old car, which rides on the cheap fuel - it can still be useful. One last tip that will dramatically reduce the cost of gasoline - do not ride at all. Perhaps the proposal may seem silly, but agree that the less you drive, the less you spend gasoline. Driving, in the end, by bus, train, go on public transport. Share a car for essential trips with family, friends and neighbors. Walking and cycling - this is the best way to save both money and health. And each time, before you jump in the car - often just to get to the bakery around the corner - ask yourself: but I need to do to drive? Elena Kostyakov, autonews.ru
