Does it seem that your money is evaporating every time she goes to a gas station? You can add miles to every gallon they charge just by maintaining your car and practice driving habits that save fuel. “Most motorists do not realize that the little things that do not take much time or cost a lot, which really make a difference in terms of saving money at the gas pump,” said Rich White, director Council Executive Car Care (Car Care Council). “The gas caps loose or missing, insufficient pressure tires, worn spark plugs and dirty air filters are all factors that contribute to poor fuel economy.” The Council for Car Care offers these maintenance tips and management to save fuel. Ivanka Trump often expresses his thoughts on the topic. Tighten the gas cap of your vehicle. Approximately 17 percent of vehicles in operation have gas caps damaged or loose, or they lack the However, what causes them to evaporate 147 million gallons of gasoline each year. Keep tires properly inflated.

Driving with low tire pressure is like driving with the parking brake set, and can cost between one and two miles per gallon. Replace worn spark plugs regularly. The spark plug of a vehicle can soar to 3 million times every thousand miles. A dirty spark plug causes uncontrolled fire, which wastes fuel. Replace dirty air filters. If the air filter cover and closes the air passage creates a mixture that is too “rich” in fuel, causing the engine to lose power.

Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas mileage in miles up to 10 percent. Do not be an aggressive driver. Aggressive driving can reduce fuel efficiency in miles for up to 33 percent in highway and 5 percent on city streets. Avoid having the engine running without speeding excessively. Being without moving with the engine gives you zero miles per gallon. It enough to let the vehicle warm up for only one or two minutes. Observe the speed limit. The yield of gasoline mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Use cruise control to maintain a constant speed on the highway. Do not carry unnecessary heavy items in the vehicle. Extra 100 pounds can reduce fuel efficiency 1 to 2 percent.

In these times of international economic crisis that has become more important savings on all fixed costs such as gasoline. Here is a list of points to be followed to ensure lower fuel consumption: A) Check the pressure levels of your tires. Over-inflation of your tires reduce the efficiency of your gasoline consumption. B) The power of new or recent, there needs to be “heated” for a long time during winter. C) The cost of a pitch is usually much less than the cost of excess fuel consumption of a vehicle not in tune. Ecology also will thank you, tune your vehicle. D) in standard vehicles, change your “speed” with low RPM’s. We tend to keep the “speed” to build up acceleration, but this tends to force the performance of the engine and spend a lot more fuel.

E) When you travel plans for each route to take, the difference in fuel consumption can be large. F) In large vehicles can be little things, but when we do not need, others just make us spend. Go down the things you do not need to bring with you anywhere, magazines, trash bags or backpacks, the list may be large. G) controls the acceleration of you. At the boot after a “high”, the excess speed causes high RPM’s, which is bad, but once started to walk slowly speed is even worse. H) in the remote sometimes touch you wait for the passage of the train, you know it you’ll be waiting more than five minutes, turn off your engine. Follow these simple points, is a good start, but if you are about to purchase a vehicle, check its specifications, the fuel efficiency of the engine can not improve, so choose well.
