10 Tips For Driving Efficient

Fuel oil that we use today, which is derived from fossil fuels, would soon be exhausted. Car manufacturer was aware of this and to design the car with a range of technologies that can make a reliable engine fuel processing. Even for a car that's cheap though, there are manufacturers who are aware of this and brings the features keeper efficiency.

However, from the viewpoint of the vehicle. As the driver of the vehicle, you can also contribute to maintain fuel efficiency. Positive impact, financial condition could be maintained thanks to efficient fuel consumption. Here we extracted the steps that you can do to keep the car in processing energy economical.

1. Keep the engine condition
Both the poor performance of the machine is determined by the condition of the machine itself. Machines that always late perform regular maintenance, it will decrease its performance. Therefore vehicle manufacturer also require users to disciplinary perform regular maintenance on schedule if you want the engine warranty is not forfeited.

By always keeping the engine performance, the condition of the engine will always be in prime level to generate power. Included with the element of efficiency, if the machine in the best performance, definitely too frugal fuel consumption.

Restore also your car to the standard conditions. This is to avoid excessive engine workload due to increased performance that is not promoting fuel efficiency.

2. Wind Pressure Tires
Wheels as an energy supplier to create momentum motion has a component of the tire as a wrapper. If the air pressure inside the tire awake, then the ability to scroll wheel even better. When easy rolling wheels or obstacles gulirnya (rolling resistance) is low, any motion momentum is created and the fuel needed to generate power can be minimized.

Tires with the wind as the filler material are potentially change in pressure when the temperature changes around the car. Therefore it could not hurt you actively check the condition of the tire pressure. As well you use this type of nitrogen is more stable winds to changes in temperature.

3. Leave Excess Goods
Let's look at the entire cabin to the luggage. Are there any items that are not needed today? Better leave items that are not needed. The heavier the weight that must be supported by the car, the fuel needed for the trip also will be many.

Simply bring basic equipment that had been prepared on the car manufacturer, for example, a jack, wrenches, jumpstart cables, and lap. Cooling box, tents, folding chairs or mattresses and other items that are only used when the vacation is better left alone at home.

Uninstall also trinkets accessories that would damage the aerodynamics and only a burden to the car such as rear spoiler, body kit, roofrack, roofbox. Changes weighing 50 kilograms could impact on efficiency.

4. Travel management
Currently, there are many ways to read the traffic or road traffic conditions. Be it with the application of digital map, traffic stream live, broadcast TV or radio, to social media, offers a lot of information that can provide lane guidance terlengang.

Take advantage of this information to find the path with the lightest traffic so you do not need to be stuck in a traffic jam. When in traffic conditions with an average speed of 15 km / h, fuel consumption is much higher than when cruising at a speed of 50 km / h. The difference can be 15-40%.

By arranging travel plans, you can determine when the right time to travel to the destination without the need to remove the fuel wasted.

5. Air Conditioning (AC)
AC utilizing the engine power output to drive the compressor. In fact, in the small-engined cars, 1,200 cc down, flame-death air conditioning, greatly affect the efficiency (depending large-small compressors used). Indeed, we do not recommend to turn off the air conditioning when traveling, because it reduces the convenience, but it helps keep the air conditioning device performance, so as not to become excessive burden on the engine.

How to treat it is with the treatment on the AC when it is on and off the vehicle. Make sure the air conditioner is in the condition die before turning off the car. Do not also memforsir air conditioning performance when the new car is turned on, this is to avoid a decline in the performance of the AC component. When the air conditioner is in good condition, the engine load will not be more than a normal condition and efficiency was maintained.

6. Window
No, we're not asking you to take off the window. However, close the window well. When you drive a car with the windows open condition, the aerodynamics of the car will change. Wind resistance goes up and makes the engine must expend extra effort to make the car managed to penetrate.

7. Cornerstone Gas With Soft
This is probably the key to maintaining efficiency. Treat the accelerator gently as possible. Remember, not slowly, but gently. This means that you need to know the character of the engine and its response to pedal. Give pijakkan in accordance with the needs of the car, because every pijakkan on the gas pedal money means no fuel is processed. Cornerstone necessary until the engine turns is enough to propel the car.

The majority of the car is now adopting the accelerator response distribution systems (gas pedal) to the engine through a power cable instead of a steel wire (drive by wire). The aim is that the gas engine response welcomed better footing and maintaining the efficiency of the car so no need to spend unnecessary energy when the foot is on the gas too deep.

8. Move gears By Gradual
In the manual transmission car, the shift of gears in the transmission determines how much energy can flow to the engine speed given. Move the gear gradually or incrementally. That is, did the right move at RPM in each gear position.

How exactly round, depending on the capacity of your machine and how the ratio gears used. On average, the shift gears is efficiently done at the level of 2,000-3,000 RPM. It's certainly for a gasoline engine. If your car is a diesel engine, which required fewer rounds for faster torque diesel engines peaked. Usually displacement gears in the diesel engine can be carried out at 1300-1800 RPM rotation.


9. Cruising / Coasting
When the car 'drove' or cruising speed means the car is in a constant condition. If the car is in cruising conditions, engine rpm will be maintained in a single frequency. In this condition, the engine will efficiently process the fuel. In fact, if your car has cruise control, turn accordance with road conditions (eg straight road sloping).

Coasting is to use the momentum of motion is there to make the car still drove. This effect can be obtained when a downhill road or when decelerations. You can apply by reducing the speed slowly from afar. When decelerations, no combustion occurs, well at the moment the car is moving, which means you get a bonus of distance without the need to process the fuel.

10. Eco features
Technology being awarded the manufacturer on the car, we should welcome and good use. One technology that can be utilized is the Eco feature. Both the Eco indicator, and Eco Mode.

For Eco Indicator, the average car that already has a Multi Information Display, has it. The form can be the calculation of fuel consumption, as well as indicators of effectiveness. Take advantage of this feature to determine an appropriate driving style in order to remain efficient fuel consumption.

More advanced features is an Eco Mode. There are several techniques used to make car manufacturers have an economical driving mode. Be it simply determines the accelerator response and to change the point of gearshift on the automatic transmission. By turning on this feature, the efficiency of the car will be guarded by the car's computer (ECU).
