The rising prices of fuel have increased the worries of every vehicle owner. Due to continuous increase in the prices of both petrol and diesel, monthly expenses are increasing by hundreds of rupees. In such a situation, improving the mileage of the car is not only a way to save money, but is also beneficial for the environment.<\/p>\n
By adopting small habits and maintenance you can save 10-25% fuel. Correct driving style, regular servicing and maintaining good condition of the vehicle is equally effective for both petrol and diesel engine cars. By adopting these tips you can cover more distance at less expense. Let us know the five tips one by one.<\/p>\n
1. Maintain correct tire pressure<\/h2>\n
Maintain correct air pressure in tyres. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, which can reduce mileage by 5-10%. Check every week or before a long drive. This is the easiest and most effective method for both petrol and diesel cars.<\/p>\n
2. Adopt smooth driving<\/h3>\n
Avoid sudden acceleration, hard braking and high speed. Use cruise control at speeds of 80-100 km\/hr. Change gears slowly and run the engine at the correct RPM. Aggressive driving consumes 15-30% more fuel.<\/p>\n
3. Lose unnecessary weight<\/h3>\n
Do not keep heavy items, roof carriers or unnecessary items in the boot or inside the car. Every 50 kg extra weight affects mileage by 1-2%. The weight reduction is immediately visible in both engine variants.<\/p>\n
4. Get regular maintenance done<\/h3>\n
Keep the air filter, fuel filter, spark plug (petrol) and fuel injector clean. Use correct grade engine oil. Old filters force the engine to work harder, causing mileage to drop. Servicing is necessary from time to time.<\/p>\n
5. Use AC carefully<\/h3>\n
On long drives, run with open windows instead of AC. You can do this in the evening or morning and also at low speed. Stop the engine if it stops for more than 1 minute. Unnecessary idling wastes fuel.<\/p>\n
By adopting these tips, you can not only save fuel but also keep your car healthy for a long time. Give priority to safe driving. With this, you and the people sitting in the car will remain safe and the car will also give more mileage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
