As the fuel pricing are rising every third day, it will mostly affects the pocket of common man. So I’m going to share some of the methods that you can use to increase your car’s mileage or fuel economy of your car.

KEEP THE RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURE

Driving with the optimal tyre pressure can increase your fuel economy. Low pressure in the tyres mean that the surface area of the tyre is increased with the road. So due to this there will be more friction between tyres and road and the car will have to put some extra power to overcome this extra friction resulting in extra fuel consumption.

So make sure that the air pressure in the tyres is the recommended one by the manufacturer and check them once every week.

GOOD DRIVING STYLE

Do not accelerate very quickly as it consumes good quantity of fuel.Try to accelerate gradually. Avoid sudden braking when not needed.

Every car comes with its own economy range. So try to put the needle in between the fuel those economy range. The engine consumes least fuel in that range because lean fuel mixture is used instead of rich fuel mixture in economy range.

Avoid engine idling. For example at the rail crossing or at the signals if you have time more than 45 seconds then keep your car’s engine shut. It can surely make a difference in the fuel economy, specially if you are driving in the city.

CORRECT USE OF GEARS

For a manual transmission car, use of correct gears at correct speeds also helps you to save fuel. The limit of every gear is written on manual provided with the car.

OPTIMUM USE OF AIR-CONDITIONER

When you switch on the AC, the compressor of the AC uses some amount of power from the engine. So always try to use the air-conditioner when your car achieve a good speed.

On highways, keep the windows closed and use AC. If you put your windows down, the air resistance will increase and consumes more fuel than use of AC, resulting in decreased fuel economy.

WARMING UP THE ENGINE

According to a study, it is found that most of the people keeps there car’s engine ON for five to ten minutes to warm it up. This is a great wastage of the fuel. Now a days, most of the modern cars just need 30 seconds to warm.

DO SERVICE ON-TIME

A serviced engine will consumes less fuel, so don’t ignore the schedule. Don’t drive you car with dirty filters try to replace them from time-to-time when needed.

Always try to pick that road which is free more free from the traffic because less braking means more fuel economy.

Always put that things in the car that are needed Because the extra weight means more load on engine. So engine has to increase its power which in return decrease the fuel economy.
