With the rise in oil prices and the arrival of the peak fuel consumption period in summer, how to save fuel while driving is a topic of concern to car owners. If you pay more attention to your driving and car-using habits, it is not a difficult task to reduce fuel consumption to the most reasonable range. There is a saying that goes, "If you can't change the environment, then try your best to change yourself." Faced with rising oil prices, we can only find solutions from ourselves. Today, the editor has a few feasible suggestions for car lovers, hoping to give you some "fuel".

　　Regular vehicle maintenance

　　Experts say that unclean air filters, gasoline filters, and oil lines can also lead to increased fuel consumption. It is necessary to regularly maintain and inspect your car. In addition, when the weather is hot, people tend to get impatient and often accelerate and brake suddenly, which can also increase fuel consumption.

　　Tires should be filled with nitrogen

　　Experts say that high temperatures in summer make tires softer, increasing the friction coefficient with the ground, increasing the vehicle's driving resistance, and thus increasing the vehicle's fuel consumption. At this time, the tires should be filled with nitrogen to reduce the temperature inside the tires and keep the expansion coefficient inside the tires unchanged. This will not only save fuel, but also prevent vehicle tire blowouts.

　　Control the timing of starting, accelerating and braking

　　When a vehicle is started, it will cause a certain amount of empty fuel consumption. The more times it is started, the greater the empty fuel consumption. Therefore, the quality of the start is related to the empty fuel consumption of the car . It can also be said that this is a common sense that all car owners should know: smooth starting and uniform acceleration can effectively reduce the amount of empty fuel consumption. In addition, reasonable accelerator pedaling and correct use of the clutch can also reduce the empty fuel consumption. The economic speed is often not achieved in the city, and the speed is much higher than the economic speed when the road conditions are good. These are all factors that consume more fuel. The economic speed of the car is usually designed to be within the range of 70-90 kilometers. At this speed, the car is most fuel-efficient when driving in high gear. Driving at or below this speed will bring different degrees of increased fuel consumption.

　　The timing of braking is also a way to save fuel. Under the premise of safety, try not to brake. The owner can observe the road conditions and reduce the throttle in advance if there is a situation where braking is needed. Although the fuel saving is not much each time, developing good driving habits can still have a considerable effect in the long run.

Temperature control equals fuel saving

　　Oil is the main food of the engine. Controlling the engine well can save oil to a certain extent. The temperature of the engine affects the fuel consumption. Practical experience tells us that if the engine temperature is too high or too low, the fuel consumption will increase. Therefore, the editor recommends that the engine must be preheated before starting, especially in winter. Save some oil every time you start, and you will save a lot of oil in the long run.

　　Open the windows before turning on the air conditioner when getting in the car

　　Turning on the air conditioner for a long time will increase the load on the engine and also increase fuel consumption. Industry insiders suggest that after getting in the car, the owner can first open the window to dissipate the hot air inside the car, so that the temperature inside the car can be lowered a little, and then turn on the air conditioner. Change the gear of the air conditioner every once in a while, and do not let the air conditioner always work at a high gear.

　　The less stuff you put in the trunk, the more fuel efficient it is.

　　"Many car owners habitually use the trunk as a storage cabinet and place a lot of things in it. This will increase the weight of the car body and increase fuel consumption." Experts say that the trunk should be cleaned regularly and unused items taken out. The fewer things you put in the trunk, the more fuel-efficient it will be.

　　In short, when the oil price is "flying" all over the sky, car owners should not rush to complain. Oil prices will not fall with our complaints. We can try to save oil as much as possible through our own efforts. Be a careful car owner and be an expert in saving oil!
