fuel-saving is the minimum requirement for a car, and it is actually a highest requirement, because fuel-saving cars often have strong comprehensive strengths, which requires a long time of technical accumulation and a lot of testing to achieve. However, fuel saving is not just about looking at the car, but also about the person. The same car will have different fuel consumption in the hands of different people. Some people have bad habits when driving, which will increase fuel consumption.
Today we will take a look at some of the most fuel-intensive driving habits when driving. You can see if you have such habits. If so, it is best to change them in time, so that you can save some fuel when using the car in the future.
is the first one, driving at low gear and high speed
Although automatic transmission is now mainstream, many manual transmission cars in the past have not been completely eliminated. When driving a manual transmission car, you need to adjust the gear according to the speed. Because novice drivers are not skilled in driving skills, they often forget to change gears during acceleration. If the car is at a high speed, but the gear is still in second or third gear, it will cause waste.
We have actually learned it when taking the driver's license. When the speed is lower than 20km/h, you can just go to 1st or 2nd gear; when the speed increases to about 50km/h, you should go to 3rd gear; when the speed exceeds 80km/h, you should go to 5th gear. Otherwise, the engine output does not match the gear of the gearbox, the power generated will be wasted and fuel consumption will also increase.
The second one is, the driving speed is unstable
Many car owners are impatient and are also busy when driving. When starting, they often step on the accelerator to the bottom, and when parking, the brakes are tighter. The fast and slow driving method will not only make the passengers in the car feel very uncomfortable, but will also lead to increased fuel consumption. Because I stepped on the accelerator when starting, the instantaneous fuel consumption of the fuel injector will increase accordingly.
When driving normally, starting or stopping should be relatively stable, allowing the vehicle to maintain a constant speed. Not only does it feel comfortable to sit, but the fuel consumption will also be maintained at a relatively stable level, and it can also avoid rear-end collisions caused by sudden braking.
The third one, idle in place for a long time
It has now entered winter, North Many car owners will idle in place and warm up the car for one or two minutes before starting. A short-term idle-speed hot car will not have much impact on fuel consumption. However, after starting the vehicle, some car owners throw the car in place and let it idle, and do whatever they should do, which will consume a lot of gasoline.
In addition, some people drive to pick up friends because their friends cannot show up in time because they have something to do, so they ask the car owner to wait in place for a while. In order to keep warm, the car owner will keep the vehicle idle. Little do you know that idling a car engine will also consume gasoline. According to research data, the gasoline consumed by a car at idling for three minutes is the same as the gasoline consumed by a car driving for 1 km.
The fourth one, speeding
Many people have this wrong perception, thinking that the faster the car runs, the more fuel-efficient it is. In fact, cars also have " economic speed ". Generally, cars with displacement of 1.5 to 1.8 are economic speeds of 80 to 90km/h. Exceeding this speed will cost fuel.
4 driving behaviors are the fuel-saving ways for many people to think. In fact, driving in this way will increase the fuel consumption of the car. If you don’t want your car to become an “oil tiger”, it’s best to get rid of these bad habits as soon as possible.
