Want to know how to reduce the cost of gasoline?

When you turn and start

1 .- Do not warm your car for several minutes when not in motion, unless they are periods of low temperatures and less than a minute, because all you are doing is consuming gasoline and money.

2 .- When you advance to start your tour, do it moderately then gradually accelerates. Just wait until the engine temperature to stabilize and then get the full power of it.

3 .- It is wrong to accelerate the car at boot time, causes premature engine wear, damaged spark plugs or injectors and produce excessive carbon deposits.

4.-Use instead a high quality multigrade oil, this will provide extra protection in engine starting, especially at low temperatures.

Speed

1 .- There is good speed to the bottom of your car, as they cause consume up to four times more fuel and increase the likelihood of accidents, do moderadmente.

2 .- If you are on a cruise, the action of braking and acceleration makes your car consume more fuel and you get tired more, now imagine a time with traffic.

Accelerate gradually, gently, on medium speed, constant, according to traffic conditions.

3 .- Driving at very low speeds is just as counterproductive to do so at high speed.

Try driving 60 to 80 km / h, since most of the vehicles that deliver optimum speed economy. On motorways the speed reduces and not exceeding 110 km / h, you will save fuel and safer.

Anticipate

1 .- Take time your lane as you accelerate abruptly because we did not anticipate your change, causes a greater consumption of gasoline and is more likely to collide with the car sitting in front.

2 .- If you go up or down a slope not increase the speed of the car, because not only will force the engine, but which causes them to consume more gasoline. It is best to try to maintain a constant speed, anticipate braking situations and acceleration of traffic.

3 .- When driving, take into account the car to have near you, as the situation further away, this allows you to reduce the use of the brake.

4 .- When approaching an uphill, gradually accelerate before entering the rise and if necessary switch to a lower gear.

5 .- When the slope is down allows gravity to do its job and help you save fuel, let the weight of the vehicle you drive it.

Power

When your car full throttle, cold start, accelerating and braking constantly, in addition to the constant friction between mechanical parts, bearing and air resistance to move forward, causing over-consumption of fuel and pollute.

1 .- Use the power of the car properly. Accelerate smoothly and to achieve the highest yield figure in the power of your car, make the speed changes gradually.

Generally the power offered by the compact cars is enough to drive in both the city and even pasandote road speed limit (which you should not do).

2 .- Make the most of the performance of torque and power can give your car, do not forget to check your manual for more on this topic.

Your attitude behind the wheel

1 .- Respect the rules, driving loosely and carefully, do not rush, kept your distance and speed changes gradually to take the car speed by itself.

Aerodynamics has also

1 .- The open windows when traveling by road or highway, the use of "sunroof" or "sunroof" and the roof rack are some elements that also cause over-consumption of gasoline is better and if possible, close windows and use the internal ventilation.

Type of car

With these actions, considering that you can save up to 10% of normal consumption of gasoline.

1 .- Combine your trips and plan taking into account the time you need to transport, save 20% of your expenses, you will decrease the distance traveled, save time and reduce the number of cold starts to submit your car.

2 .- Look for a road without much traffic congestion.

3 .- Do not take your car, you do not use heavy objects.

4 .- For short journeys if the weather allows it, choose to walk, save money and instead do a little exercise.

5 .- Choose cars that best suit your needs. For the city recommended the use of smaller vehicles because they are cheaper, easy to maneuver and park.

6 .- If you have two vehicles, use the one that gives you more gas mileage by as much as possible.

Motor and tires

To give proper maintenance to your car makes you an efficient performance, secure and allows you to save.

1 .- Taking into account the time recommended by your car manual for maintenance. This can reduce fuel consumption by 10%.

2 .- Use proper viscosity oil for your car, usually multi-grade oil is recommended because it reduces friction and save 1 to 3% of gasoline.

3 .- Check the engine oil level every two weeks.

4 .- At least every year, changing oil and filters in your car.

5 .- Make sure you are well lubricated wheel bearings, spreaders, transmission, differential and motor reminded to be with the correct grade of oil or fat, consult the manual for your car or ask where you take it to service.

With this measure, there is less wear on your car and driving will be smoother.

6 .- Each year, give your car a wash and engrado chassis and engine.

7 .- Every two years or 50 000km routes, change the transmission fluid and filter.

8 .- Make sure you inflate your car tires to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. This will help the car is less resistance and therefore does not wear well,'re safer and saves gas.

If you will check vasa to the air in the tires, do it when the tire is cold or before they had gone just 2 km. Try to do these reviews every week or at least once a month.

9 .- Radial tires help you save between 4 to 5% of gasoline if you put them on your car, before it addresses the recommendations of the manufacturer of your car.

10 .- Having balancedas and aligned well the wheels of your car, is a factor that also helps reduce fuel consumption allows you to drive better and safer. When this point is not addressed, the tires wear out more quickly, unevenly, and what causes the vibrating direction.

11 .- Check the air in the tires every two weeks.

12 .- Try to check the tires every six months, if necessary and have the chance, please change.

13 .- Tune your car, they're saving fuel by 4 to 5%.

14 .- As for the air filter, if clogged, it causes is greater mix of gasoline, which will prevent you from saving. Avoid cleaning the filter every 5 000 km, or according to what the manufacturer recommends, but generally it is recommended every time the car is tuned.

15 .- Check the cooling system, it must operate at a suitable temperature, such that the gas is burning properly. If the engine takes to "warm up" should check the thermostat, as this addition to provoke an over-consumption of fuel can affect the catalytic converter.

16 .- Remember to check every two weeks the coolant level riadiador.

17 .- Every six months, and if your car has carburetor calĂ­bralo, check the air filter and belts.

18 .- Clean the radiator in your car every two years or when ever you run up to 50 000km.

And if it comes to accessories

1 .- Believes that the use of air conditioning in heavy traffic, can increase more than 10% fuel. However if you use a road or highway speed can increase by 3 to 4% fuel consumption.

2 .- A "sunroof" or "sun roof" can reduce the need for air conditioning when traveling in the city and for higher speeds on the road or highway, the car's drag and increase fuel consumption.

3 .- Check annually that the air conditioning refrigerant leaks.

On power

1 .- When the ignition system incedido or work properly, will save gas, you get an easy start with fewer emissions.

2 .- Make sure the spark plug wire cover is clean and secure.

3 .- So also the condition of the battery and clean the terminals have, influence a reliable starter.

4 .- Every three months or after 4000 or 6000km tour, if your car has an engine with a carburetor, the ignition timing check it.

5 .- Each year, check the spark plugs and cables, battery, its cargo and also the alternator terminals.

Carrying out these steps, you will notice the difference will be reflected in lower spending, but also can use other alternatives such as fuel economy, the BENEFITS and savings will be much higher.
