Here’s How You Can Reduce Your Petrol Cost by 40%

Oil costs have become a major concern due to their high prices.  Recently, fuel prices have risen by up to Rs.  Rs 30 per liter, increase in petrol and diesel prices by Rs 180 per liter and Rs 174 / liter respectively.

In addition, the interim government's agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) requires that it return petroleum duties and taxes, which could push fuel prices up to Rs.  270 / liter till June 30.

Because of this, motorcyclists have turned to motorcycles in an effort to reduce their fuel costs.  While this may seem like a solution to some people, it is not feasible for those who travel with their families on a daily basis.

This article will discuss some of the tips that can help you reduce your car's fuel consumption.

Keep your tank half full

One of the most helpful tips is to refuel your car while its tank is half full.  This is because the more fuel there is in the tank, the less air it takes up.

Gasoline quickly evaporates, resulting in waste.  Petroleum storage tanks have a floating inner roof, which acts as a barrier between gasoline and air, reducing vapor.

Therefore, it is advisable not to leave the fuel tank more than half empty.

Request manual refueling.

When refueling your vehicle, ask the employee to avoid pressing the nozzle to pump faster.  There are three stages of trigger: slow, medium and high.  Slow mode pumps fuel at low pressure, thus reducing pumping fumes.

Vapors return to all the pipes in the pump.  Because gasoline is a volatile liquid, some of it evaporates as it is pumped faster.  The fumes are then sucked back into underground storage tanks without giving the car owners the full amount of fuel back.

Fill up quickly

Try filling your car early in the morning when the ground is cold.  All service stations have underground storage tanks.  The colder the Earth, the less fuel is in it, and the less likely it is to evaporate.

Note that when heating the fuel, it spreads and there is a risk of evaporation.  That is why buying fuel in the afternoon or evening can affect the quantity.  Specific gravity and temperature greatly affect the quantity and quality of petroleum, diesel and other petroleum products.

However, there is no temperature charge on the pumps at service stations, which ensures that we are careful.

Use of gas stations operated by the company.

As a precaution, it is important that you only try to get to gas stations operated by the company.  As it is known, some franchised gas stations manipulate their fuel dispensers to show more readings.

Usually, in the automatic filling mode, the meter starts working before the distributor begins to pump fuel into the tank.  As a result, the meter shows higher readings after filling.

For example, if the car has a 40-liter fuel tank, then the leveling distributor will show full readings up to 45 liters.  Therefore, it is advisable to either ask the employee to refuel manually - as this reduces the chances of misreading - or just go to service stations operated by the company to avoid fraud.  To avoid fraud.

Use discount offers.

Some are credit cards, debit cards, or OMC sponsored recharge cards that offer discounts at certain gas stations.  These cards offer a one to seven percent discount on fuel, which equates to significant savings in the long run.

Effective driving

Your driving style has a huge impact on your vehicle's fuel economy.  Smooth and steady driving really wins the fuel economy race.  Soft gear and safer gear requires less fuel.

Additionally, when you approach an intersection or a signal, lower the accelerator pedal and let your vehicle slow down on its own.  When driving away from a stop, accelerate slowly instead of suddenly pressing the accelerator pedal.

It is often called "defensive driving" because it not only uses up to 10% less fuel but is also safer.

Roll your windows.

If you're traveling on a highway, which means you drive at speeds of up to 75 kilometers per hour for most of your journey, it's important to keep your windows closed, as this can reduce your fuel economy by up to 20 percent.  can do.

Opening the windows increases the amount of air, which puts pressure on the engine and results in more fuel than usual.  Closing your car windows and using AC may be a better solution, as long as you drive with light feet.

Remove excess weight

Weight significantly affects vehicle performance and fuel economy.  The heavier the weight, the harder the engine will need to move the car.  Light weight not only reduces the pressure on the engine but also the other mechanical components.

This means that your car will not only consume less fuel but will also perform better and stay in good condition for longer.  One rule of thumb for the industry is that every 45 kg of weight loss improves the fuel economy by about 1%.

Tire pressure, size and type

Tires are important components that determine vehicle performance and fuel economy.  Tires that are large or have a deep, stocky trade pattern produce high rolling resistance, leading to poor fuel economy.  Wrong or low tire inflationary pressures can also affect the fuel economy.  Every 1% reduction in tire pressure equals 0.3% reduction in fuel economy.

In addition, good or bad tires can cause a difference of up to 7.5% in fuel consumption.

Therefore, it is important to use the company's recommended tire size, pressure and proper tread pattern to ensure low rolling resistance and maximum fuel consumption.

Avoid excessive indulgence.

Keeping the engine running while the car is running - also called idling - burns a lot of fuel.  Not only that, but it also emits harmful gases into the atmosphere.

The estimated fuel consumption of the idle engine is 0.6 liters per hour per liter of engine displacement.  This means that a 1,600 cc engine can consume about a liter of gasoline per hour while being cheap.

Modern cars have a power off function or an eco idle mode that turns the car on or off as needed.  However, those who do not have this function must park their cars while they are parked to save fuel and the environment.

Regular maintenance and decarbonization

Getting perfect performance from a car is a two-way street.  If you maintain your car regularly and in good health, it will provide you with better fuel economy.

Here's what you can do to make sure:

Decarbonization - Cleans carbon residues from the fuel supply used in the internal combustion chambers.  It cleans a conventional fuel source and dissolves carbon deposits on the fuel injectors, spark plugs, intake valves or carbon dioxide inside the engine.  It also cleans other essential components such as catalytic converters, exhaust sensors and other parts.  Carbon removal and catalytic converter cleaning can reduce vehicle fuel costs by up to 20%.  This should be done for cars that have not been decarbonized for more than 50,000 kilometers.

Regular Maintenance - Engine, good oil filter, air filter, and timely oil replacement need to function properly.  Defective or outdated air filters or delayed oil changes can hamper the engine's ability to run, and reduce fuel economy.

Result

It's important to take a look at all of these suggestions together to see the big difference in fuel economy and costs.  The average motorist who uses these tips will save a minimum of 40% on fuel, a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 60% depending on how you drive.

In addition, these suggestions are more useful on a semi-annual or quarterly basis.  In the short term, these tips may not have much of an impact, but over time, they can have major benefits for those who use them.
