How to decrease your Fuel Consumption

This post will give you the tips and tricks to improve you fuel economy. So with the increasing prices of fuel now a days you should know these simple tips and tricks that can help you save almost 30 percent of you fuel.

Maintain your vehicle

The most important part of a better fuel economy is if your vehicle is well maintained or not? if not, you should tune your vehicle and provide better lubrication to the engine by changing the Oil.
Also change your air filter and spark plugs if necessary because dirty air filter can reduce fuel economy up to 20 percent and poor condition spark plugs up to 12 percent. 
Wheel alignment also plays an important role for fuel consumption. Poor wheel alignment can decrease the fuel economy a lot depending upon how bad wheel alignment is. 


Keep your tires properly inflated

Low pressure tires can increase the fuel consumption up to 25 percent so you should Start checking the tires pressure more often and keep them properly inflated. Most of the people dont know how much the tires pressure should be the picture below will help you.

Remove Unnecessary Luggage 

The more weight a vehicle carries the more it increases the fuel consumption. So start removing the useless luggage in the car and if you can manage without the extra tire you can save up to 1 percent of fuel. 

Keep Windows Up

Closed windows keep the car aerodynamic and reduce drag coefficient. Usually people dont know how much the air drag can increase fuel consumption. Even the side mirrors can increase the fuel economy when they are removed. The open windows can decrease the fuel economy up to 15 percent by increasing the drag especially on a highway. I know this is a hard one but it can save you a lot of fuel if you can keep the windows closed.

Keep a light foot on gas

The most vital role is played by you to increase the fuel consumption of your vehicle. All of it depends on how you drive? Most of the drivers use excessive braking and keep a heavy foot on the gas.
This is the factor that increases the fuel consumption because a vehicle takes the highest amount of fuel to move from an idle position. Apply a light throttle and avoid heavy braking (it means to accelerate slowly and start braking from long distances). Keep your vehicle in the highest gears if possible and avoid over revs too. 
Keep the car between 50 to 60 mph because research shows that at 70 mph the vehicle takes 25 present more fuel to over come the Air Drag.
