3. Driving habits to save gas
It is said that changing your driving habits can save you money on the road. Introducing good driving habits that increase fuel efficiency.
① Abrupt start and braking:
According to statistics, even if you reduce sudden start, rapid acceleration, and sudden braking, you can reduce the cost of automobile fuel by more than 14%.
② Maintain economic speed:
When driving, keep the economic speed of 60~80km/h. According to a survey result, if you comply with the economic speed, you can save 152 liters per year (based on 15,500km driving and fuel price of 1,800 won) and save 10% of fuel costs.
③ Reduce engine idling:
It is said that even 5 minutes of unnecessary idling costs the same amount of gas as driving a car for 1 km. If the car is to be stopped for more than 3 minutes while driving, put the gear in neutral or turn off the engine. When idling to warm up the car, 1 minute in summer and 2 minutes in winter are sufficient.
④ Reduce car weight:
If you fill up the fuel all at once, the weight of the vehicle becomes heavier and the fuel consumption increases. The proper refueling amount is 70 to 80% of the fuel tank, so it is better to avoid filling it up when refueling, and it is said that reducing weight by organizing unnecessary luggage in the trunk is also effective in saving fuel.
⑤ Maintain proper air pressure:
Tire maintenance is also one of the ways to increase fuel economy. If the air pressure is too low, the tire may burst, and if it is too high, the riding comfort may be poor. However, since the air expands in the summer, you should slightly reduce the air pressure for safety.
⑥ Not pedaling when going downhill:
On a downhill, it is said that fuel economy is saved even if the accelerator pedal is not bright while maintaining the gear.
