Fuel Saving Tips

[abc999]

don't believe any of the either. No scientifc evidence to back up their claim

[dantederamos]

i agree, no scientific basis. just like those oxygenated water, liquid and electro detoxification scams

here is a link that gives a rundown on most popular types of fuel saving devices in the market today.

The Khaos super turbo or the newer sanyo-iji do work. BUT they work on carbureted non computerized cars. It's a trick that has been done since the 70's(at least here in the philippines, maybe earlier in other countries) by our own local racers. It adds a little punch in accelerating from a stop and does save a little fuel. Cost to replicate or make your own: as low as free to as high as 15 pesos. Those two I mentioned above are way too overpriced at 3000 or 5000.

Installation of these things on fuel injected cars can even cause fuel consumption to increase.

This has been discussed in automotive forums like tsikot.com and HCP....

 

Spend your money on proper tune-up of your car instead... And wag masyadong mabigat ang paa sa gas...

Never floor your gas pedal, always be conscious of the RPM, not going beyond 2000K. If you are in the highway, stay at the rear of a fast moving vehicle, keeping in my the distance, lessens drag and aiir resistance effect. Maintain your car reguraly

Let the revs rise naturally. Avoid high-RPM gear changes, you'll get to your speed eventually, even with moderate throttle pressure and early upshifts. Once you hit your speed, maintain it; do not overshoot it.

 

Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden maneuvering and braking---braking is one of the biggest wastes of momentum and energy, and you have to burn gas to regain your lost momentum. To drive smoothly, take a long view of the road so you can plan your movements in advance accordingly.

 

Maintain your car's mechanicals religiously.

pag dating sa parking lot patayin ang makina at pababain ang syuta mo para magtulak ng auto

Mag carpool na lang at mag ambag-ambag sa pang gas. hehehe

 

Pinaka matipid nyan eh wag na gumamit ng sasakyan. :upside:

this is one of the best fuel saving tips.

 

and if u dont necessarly need to hit on the brakes (like if u need to keep a distance) just take your foot off the accelerator.

[Borgie]

i agree... smooth driving, low revs, and no sudden braking is the way to go....

 

periodical tune ups helps a lot also...

[icymyk]
