How To Maximize Car’s Fuel Efficiency

Now, we are burning more fuel on road than we should; with a basic knowledge we can maintain good fuel efficiency and can save a lot fuel.

Easy Ways To Maintain Maximum Fuel Efficiency-

Tire Pressure

City-Stop & Go

Efficient Speed

Air Filter

Wheel alignment

& balancing

Aerodynamics

Fuel Injectors

Oxygen Sensors

PCV Valve

Spark Plugs

Tire Pressure

In most cases energy is wasted due to inflated tires.Check the tire pressure every weather or season change.Check car’s manual or recommended tire pressure mentioned in driver side door panel.

City- Stop & Go

Driving in traffic destroy vehicle’s

efficiency Always avoid the slow drive areas

for better performance of

car.Sometimes slow driving area

creates problem for the car.

Efficient Speed In Highway

In highways, most vehicles can be driven without any disturbance than other roads and that gives a better fuel efficiency.

Every vehicle has a specific speed range for better fuel efficiency and it will easily be achieved in highways.

Air Filter

Air filter changing or cleaning is the easy way

to ensure a vehicle is running in top efficiency.

There are some high performance air filters that increase air flow

resulting in more power and fuel efficiency.

Oxygen Sensors

Uses: The sensor reads the amount of oxygen flowing out of the engine

through exhaust pipe. As per reading, it will inform for more or less fuel for better performance.

This sensor should be replaced when it starts to give false

information.

Fuel Injectors

Fuel injectors spray fuel into engine, sometimes they get clogged with slit so it can reduce the performance of car.When getting this type of problem, immediately clean the

injectors in any service center or replace if required.

Aerodynamics

Closing the windows without turning on A/C can give better performance.

Remove any type of roof racks and cargo boxes because they provide

tons of aerodynamic drag.

Wheel Alignment & Balancing

An imbalanced tire starts

shaking at a specific speed and disturbs the overall

driving of the vehicle.

When getting problem with wheel,

immediately do the wheel alignment in a

service center.

PCV Valve

This valve takes whatever gases that were not burned

inside of the engine and sends it back to be burned

again.

If this valve is not working properly, gas unused inside

the engine would be lost and eventually find its way into

the atmosphere.

Spark Plugs

Spark plug job is to create the spark that ignites the air fuel

mixture in engine.

When a new spark plug is installed, ignites gases faster

and more efficiently.

Regular maintenance in proper time would give a better performance of the car.
