Basic Techniques for Fuel Efficient Driving

There are a four ways that vehicle's fuel consumption can maintained. For more details, the following description:

1. Do not step on the gas pedal (accelerator pedal) stomping.
 
Stamping should be stable and gradual. If the gas pedal abruptly, auto fuel injector also sprayed more than when you step on the gas pedal slowly.

2. Mantain at 2000-3000 RPM.
 
The transfer gears at this RPM will create a more efficient fuel consumption, especially when the car starts to move and use a low gear acceleration. Meanwhile, when the vehicle is moving fast, most efficient when driving with RPM between 2,500 to 3,500, with the highest gear.

Then immediately adjust the gears after lowering speed (deceleration). After running hard and then suddenly brake suddenly, should also pass the shift gear to a lower position.

3. Measure the level of hydrocarbons (HC) and Carbon monoxide (CO).

Whether or not wasteful fuel consumption is also determined by the components of the machine. Machine components that have a lot of wear or damage can cause incomplete combustion of fuel.

To find out, check the exhaust emissions on a regular basis. If the test results show the value of hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) is too high, this is a sign of combustion in the combustion chamber is not perfect so much fuel is wasted.

4. Pay attention to the load and drive components.
 
Another factor that determines the fuel consumption is a load and driving or driving a vehicle. The more weight you have to be transported, consumption will also increase. The definition of driving include, clutch, wheel (bearing), coupling (propeller shaft), axles, and wheels.

When these components are worn or damaged, will cause loss of power generated by the engine to drive the car drove. Meanwhile, fuel consumption remains large. Associated with the wheel, the use of large tires and wheels, including the factors that affect fuel consumption.
