Nowadays, CNG car has become the first choice of the common man, because it is cheaper and eco-friendly as compared to petrol and diesel. But due to increasing inflation and traffic, many owners complain about low mileage of CNG cars. The good thing is that with some smart habits and maintenance, you can increase the mileage of your CNG vehicle to a great extent.<\/p>\n
This will not only reduce your monthly expenses, but will also increase the life of the engine and reduce pollution. By adopting correct driving style, regular servicing and small precautions, you can improve mileage by 15-25%. In this article we are telling you the 5 most effective tips, which are practical and easily adopted.<\/p>\n
1. Get regular servicing and tuning done<\/h2>\n
Regular checking of CNG kit is very important. Get the spark plug, air filter, fuel filter and injector cleaned every 10,000 kilometers. Old air filter reduces the air flow in the engine which reduces the mileage. With good servicing, the engine runs smoothly and the CNG burns completely.<\/p>\n
2. Always keep the tire pressure correct<\/h3>\n
Low tire pressure is the biggest mileage thief. Check tire pressure every week and keep it at the correct pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Correct pressure reduces rolling resistance and takes less energy to propel the car. This can increase mileage by 8-10%.<\/p>\n
3. Adopt smooth and disciplined driving<\/h3>\n
Pressing the accelerator suddenly, sharp braking and driving at high speed make CNG cost more. Stable driving at a speed of 50-80 km\/hr is considered best. Change gears at the right time and reduce unnecessary AC use.<\/p>\n
4. Don’t overload the car<\/h3>\n
Do not load more luggage or passengers than necessary in a CNG car. Every extra 50 kg of weight can reduce the mileage by 2-3%. Keep unnecessary items away from the boot. Lighter cars consume less fuel.<\/p>\n
5. Fill good quality CNG<\/h3>\n
Fill CNG only from certified fuel stations. Poor quality gas damages the engine. Also, do not leave the car in open sunlight for a long time. Start driving in the morning with a cold engine. By adopting these tips, you will not only save money, but will also be able to keep your car healthy for a long time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
