It's important to learn the environment and gas money saving tips during the summer driving season. The peak summer season is upon us, and warm weather usually means that the windows are open and the radio is on and there is nothing before, but the open road. High fuel costs and the extra mileage on one's vehicle, however, can get to the wallet - and the environment - more difficult than one would like.
But a day trip to the beach or a back road cruise doesn't have to break the bank or pollute the earth. Increasing the vehicle's fuel economy can be as simple as finding a garage instead of parking in the hot sun. one can also save up to $140 a year on fuel by simply getting a full service oil change regularly. It's small steps like this that can pay large dividends to the wallet in the long run."
Here are ten tips and tricks to keep top-of-mind before embarking on your next summer cruise.
#Using cruise control on the highway helps maintain a constant speed, which in most cases, improves fuel economy. It also requires less gas to turn the vehicle back on than letting it idle when one stops for a quick break.
#Regular oil changes can increase fuel efficiency. Couples periodic changes in the quality of motor oil law, and one can increase fuel economy by 2 percent or more while keeping the car (hybril) running. While being on it, he / she chooses an engine that is better for the environment.
#Inflated tires are safer with precision and can increase gas mileage by 3 percent. The correct tire pressure with regular rotation also improve handling and prolong tire wear to be maximized.
#The fuel tanks can turn messy with time. A couple of ways to tell are if the fuel system are not clean, if the engine during acceleration or concerns about idling.
#The sun zaps fuel from the gas tank. Parking in the shade or garage will reduce the amount of evaporative emissions with the added benefit of adding a small change in their pockets.
#Fixing a car (hybril) that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve the mileage by as much as 40 percent.
# Reduce the insurance costs by shopping around. Prices vary from company to company, so it pays to do some homework. Get at least three price quotes. It can be done by calling up companies or by searching the internet.
#Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower the gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for the driver and others, so one may save more than gas money. While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Observing the speed limit is also safer.
# A clogged air filter can increase fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent. Air filters keep impurities from damaging the interior of the engine, so replacing dirty filters will save gas and protect the engine too. Tests suggest that replacing a clogged air filter on an older car (hybril) with a carbureted engine may improve fuel economy 2 to 6 percent under normal replacement conditions or up to 14 percent if the filter is so clogged that it significantly affects drivability.
#Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use. Turn off the engine when the vehicle is parked. It only takes a few seconds worth of fuel to restart the vehicle.
