Drive to save fuel
Whether you drive occasionally or everyday, you can decrease the amount of fuel you use by taking the steps described below:
Driving Skills
The driving technique of the person behind the wheel is the single most important factor in determining the fuel economy of a particular car. A economy-conscious driver can achieve 30 to 50% better economy than most other drivers. You, too, can better your car’s efficiency simply by following the following instructions:
The Attitude
1. Always think about fuel economy while you drive.
2. Always drive for better fuel economy.
3. Avoid driving when you are angry or upset.
4. Use public transportation whenever possible.
The 30-second Warm Up
• Do not let your engine idle for more than 30 seconds after its initial start. Engines warm up faster when they are in motion.
• Idling for more than 30 seconds not only wastes fuel but also harms your engine, since the amount of lubricating oil being pumped to the engine’s various parts is the minimum when the engine is in neutral and idling.
• Depress the accelerator just once when needed, as unnecessary pumping wastes fuel.
• Do not rev the engine immediately before turning it off. This dumps raw fuel on the cylinder walls; washing away the protective lubricating oil film and increasing engine wear during the subsequent start. This also wastes fuel.
