8 Tips To Maximize Your Car’s Fuel Efficiency

3/26/2018

​The average American driver spends over $2,000 a year just to buy gasoline for their cars. Fortunately, you can cut down your spendings on fuel significantly by changing your driving habit as well as maintaining your car. Here are some tips you can follow to help you lower your fuel consumption.
Choose the right car

Purchasing the right car is the first step you can make to minimize your fuel consumption. The higher the miles per gallon (mpg) of the car, the more fuel efficient the car is. Newer models tend to have a higher mpg, and if you want to take it further you can opt for hybrid cars or even electric vehicles.

Don’t drive aggressively

Don’t accelerate or decelerate in an aggressive way as it would increase your fuel consumption significantly. Remember that the higher the revolution per minute (rpm) the more fuel you consume. You should also drive in a speed that would maximize the fuel efficiency.

Tune your vehicle regularly

Don’t forget to change the oil, air filter, and car fluids regularly to keep your engine running smoothly. The better your engine runs, the less fuel you’ll use, and as a bonus your car will also have a longer lifetime.

Don’t leave your car idle too long

If you’re going to let your car idle for a minute, it’s best to completely turn the engine off because it takes more fuel than restarting your engine.

Keep less things inside the car

Heavier load takes more energy to transport, which will ultimately increase fuel consumption so make sure to not bring anything unnecessary.

Park in cool areas

The heat from the sun can cause fuel to evaporate easier, so it’s best to park your car in areas without sunlight.

Check those tires

Make sure that your tires are properly inflated and aligned to safe fuel as well and ensure that they would last longer. You can also buy tires that has a low rolling resistance to improve gas mileage even further.
Monitor fuel consumption

Check fuel consumption by dividing the distance travelled by fuel used to travel the distance. If the mpg of the car is significantly lower than what it’s supposed to be, there may be an engine problem.

These tips will help you maximize your fuel-efficiency, but it may not reduce other costs related to having a vehicle. You may have to face higher cost when faced with an unfortunate accident. Fortunately, an auto insurance can help you tackle these cases, keeping your pocket safe.
