Small Things that can Help You Save Fuel

The heater control valve is normally mounted near
the firewall and acts as a valve that controls
the flow of the coolant from the engine to the
heater core.
3
While there's not much any of us can do to
control the price of gas, there are a number of
things we can do to control how much gas we use.
4
Here are some ways to increase your fuel
efficiency and save money.
5
Maintain your vehicle
6
You hear this one all the time, but it's true, a
well-maintained vehicle uses less gas than a
poorly maintained vehicle.
7
Regular maintenance helps ensures you're getting
the best mileage your vehicle can provide.
8
Use good quality, energy conserving engine oils
with a viscosity grade consistent with the manual.
9
Check engine air filter
10
Every three months, check the air filter as a
blocked one makes an engine work harder and costs
you in miles per gallon.
11
You can get replacement filters at auto parts
stores as well as many hardware and even
department stores, and they're easy to change.
12
Usually all that's necessary is undoing a couple
of clips and taking out the old filter before
dropping in the new one.
13
Check tire pressure
14
For regular checks, use a tire pressure gauges
which are inexpensive and easy to use, so buy one
and keep it in your car.
15
Under-inflated tires are harder to turn, so your
engine needs to work more to go the same distance
and over-inflated tires wear quickly and end up
costing you in tire life.
16
Inflate your tires to the proper pressure
prescribed for the car.
17
Clear out your car
18
Vehicles get much better mileage when theyre not
loaded with unnecessary weight.
19
Most drivers accumulate material in their vehicle
trunks and carry hundreds of pounds of extra
weight around in our cars all the time.
20
Therefore, it is better to remove all the
unnecessary items from the vehicle such as unused
tools and personal accessories.
21
Avoid rough drive
22
Fast starts, weaving in and out of traffic, and
accelerating to and from a stop light dont save
much time and wear out components such as brakes
and tires faster.
23
Simply limiting the speed, quick acceleration
and fast braking can increase fuel economy to a
great extent.
24
A light, steady pressure on the accelerator helps
to minimize the amount of fuel consumed and
maintain a more moderate and steady speed.
25
Use the AC sparingly
26
An air conditioner is one of the biggest drains
on engine power and fuel economy and having the
windows closed reduces drag on the car so it
rolls easier and burns less gas.
27
On the highway, a vehicle with the windows rolled
up and the air conditioning turned on uses less
gas than the same car with the windows down.
28
Use the air conditioner only when needed as the
air conditioner puts extra load on the engine,
forcing more fuel to be used.
29
Remember
30
These ways may seem small, but are very effective
and help you achieve a big difference in your
overall gas mileage.
