Best Tips To Increase The Car's Mileage

Best Tips To Increase The Car's Mileage

The rising fuel price almost taking a toll on the vehicle owner's income as per the

research of Highway Authority.

There is a solution to buy the new fuel efficient vehicles that will give a better mileage with your budget but this is not the right

option for many owners.

To resolve this issue there are many ways available that you could follow.

The proper tire pressure or properly inflated tire can reduce 3% fuel consumption annually as per research .

Maintain proper tire pressure :-

Tires lose 1psi per month in normal temperature and if it's winter then it will decrease more due to thermal contraction.

When the contact area increases between tire and road, that ultimately increases the friction which results in higher fuel

consumption.

The properly inflated tires also help in increasing life span of tires by avoiding uneven wear and tear on the tire tread.

If you follow a rough driving style like heavy acceleration and braking, then the engine runs at greater rpms and uses more

fuel than normal driving.

Driving Style :-

The smooth & moderate acceleration uses less fuel and gives a better fuel economy.

If possible try to avoid short trips and city traffic as two short trips consume more fuel than a long trip.

Make sure to remove the unnecessary loads that you are carrying around all the times.

Lighten some load :-

An extra pound always increases the fuel consumption and if you have belongings that you don't need regularly then make sure to keep it at home and give the vehicle a little relaxation.

Get rid of roof rack if you don't have a travel plan nearly. As the roof rack can create extra aerodynamic space or air drag that

results in extra fuel consumption.

The use of cruise control helps to keep the vehicle in constant speed and saves the fuel.

Use of cruise control :-

The scheduled and regular cleaning and maintenance of fuel filter, air filter, injector and spark plugs also saves extra use of

fuel.

Cleaning & maintenance :-

Make sure to change the spark plugs in every 30,000 miles as faulty spark plugs can cause misfire and consume more fuel

while combustion.

When air filter shows symptoms of clogging, make sure to change it early as it protects the engine from outer dust and

debris.

The timely cleaning of fuel injector and replacing them in every 60,000 miles will also save fuel.

The idling of vehicle burns more fuel as that puts pressure on the engine to consume more fuel for it.

Long Idling :-

Make sure to turn off the engine if you are idling for long time or you can buy the start-stop technology vehicle to avoid that fuel

wastage in idling.

The selection of right fuel quality also matters for better fuel economy.

Fuel Efficiency :-

Many vehicle owners add premium oil to get a better fuel mileage but the proper mileage can be achieved if you add oil as

prescribed in owner's manual.

If the owner's manual instructed to use “regular” oil then using premium oil is just

waste of money.

The low rolling resistance requires less effort for roll on road surface and less load on engine which results in better

MPG.

Use low rolling resistance tires :-

Always try best routs for your daily commute. Shortest rout is not the best rout as there other factors to consider like traffic,

road space etc.

Plan Forward :-

Always make sure to avoid city stop and go traffic which can reduce the fuel mileage.
