Break up
with your partner if he or she is fat. If you have fat friends, make sure
you are going out in their car not the other way around.
With the
increase in price of PMS, people have been wondering how to save fuel.
Nigerians always see opportunity in every situation which means some people
started importing stuff they say will reduce the rate at which you petrol burn by
25%. Petrol cannot be diesel.
So here I
am giving you tips on how to reduce your fuel consumption. If you are driving a
Corolla, you really don't have to worry except you are not ready to use a car.
If you drive cars like Infinity FX45, Benz S550 etc this post is not for you.
You are meant to spend alot on fuel.
So many
Tips but I will shortlist a little that you can follow.
1. Drive
at the speed limit. This is the single most effective solution to increasing
efficiency. The most fuel-efficient speed may be the point at which your
vehicle shifts to high gear. For most vehicles, this is somewhere around 80mph.
2. Try to
avoid traffic on busy days or times when it is raining, windy or barometric
pressure is high. Rain, headwind and high barometric pressure create extra air
drag that uses more fuel to create and maintain forward motion (a tailwind
helps).
3. Get
rid of any unnecessary weight in your car or truck like golf clubs or
unnecessary tools, materials and YOUR FAT GF. Lowering the tailgate on a pickup
truck actually reduces your gas mileage by reducing drag.
4. Avoid
wasting fuel from pressing the gas to regain the speed lost from braking when
following closely (tailgating) which forces you to correct your following
distance by applying your brakes, slowing forward motion.
5. Every
time you punch the gas to quickly accelerate after stopping you are burning
extra fuel and increasing tire wear.
6. It
increases fuel consumption when you allow the vehicle speed to drift lower and
then accelerate back up than it does to maintain a steady position on the
accelerator.
7. Change
your air filter. A dirty air filter will rob the engine of power and
efficiency.
It will use more gas than a clean filter.
It will use more gas than a clean filter.
8. Keep
the tires inflated to the proper pressure to increase your travelling
distance on a tank of gas. Keep a tire gauge handy and check the pressure.
Tires naturally lose air over a period of time.
9.
Service your car at manufacturers recommended intervals. Tokunbo or New.
Changing spark plugs and co when their performance begins to drop.
10. Avoid
excessive idling. If you idle your car for more than a minute, it will save gas
to turn off the engine.
11.
Ignite the engine. Wait for the rev cursor to return to 1. Then move slowly.
Your car will warm up b4 you get to the main road or highway. NB: New cars don't
need to be warmed up.
12. The Air
conditioner consumes fuel. Use it only when its necessary. In the
afternoon, in traffic or when it pours.
13. Keep
track of your fuel economy so you can quickly identify when your vehicle is in
need of a tune-up or other service.
14.
Pretend that there is a raw egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal in
your vehicle. You don’t want to break the egg and get the mess on your floor
boards so you’ll be less inclined to mash down the throttle pedal. The idea is
to encourage gentle accelerations and avoid flooring or lead footing your
vehicle.
15. When
you see a red light in the distance, start to slow down moderately well before,
and wait for it to turn green so you can stroll on through, hopefully
maintaining quite a bit of speed
16. One
great way to save fuel is to do minimal braking for turns. When coming up to a
turn or bend, threshold brake at the limit of adhesion and slowly release the
brakes as your turn the wheel. Once your come out of the turn you will still be
near the speed limit.
17. Don’t
top off!
Never fill past the auto-stop on the pump – anything above that can spill and can be negated by emissions systems! Either way, topped-off fuel is wasted!
18. When
you arrive home, take the time to reverse park into your garage/parking
lot. Do this while the engine is already up to temperature instead of
spending time in the morning reversing and manoeuvring the car out while the
engine is cold and consuming more fuel.
19. Know
Your Route
I use a simple GPS that I bought for only $99. Whenever I am unfamiliar with the route, I plug in the address to avoid getting lost and wasting miles. It also works great for finding food and fuel stops along the route of your trip.
20. Most
effective way is to sell your car. We will help you do that at Minkail Autos
