Fuel Saving Tips

[disk_4_sale2]

isn't 1.5k or 2k rpm too low? di ba nagsha-shake engine mo upon shifting? might be bad for both transmission and engine.

 

 

hi poloman888, hindi naman siya nag sha shake kapag 1.5k RPM shift lalo na sa 2k RPM shift.... minsan minsan nag 2.5K RPM shift ako... pero madalang lang iyon...

 

im not just sure kung applicable yung practice ko for older engines/cars or other cars??

Less spirited driving, get the right tire pressure and keep to your maintenance schedule.

As much as possible maintain speed at 80 kph (probably the most efficient speed for most cars) lalo na kung hindi naman nagmamadali.

 

Watch your tachometer. Avoid 3000 rpm and above (depende sa car). In my case, I always maintain my rpm below 2000.

 

When you see traffic ahead of you, don't step on the gas. Your car's momentum maybe enough for you to reach the traffic jam.

 

Regularly check your tire pressure (this is very important).

 

Regular maintenance of your vehicle is a must.

 

When using a car with an automatic transmission, sometimes you don't have to wait for the transmission to shift to a higher gear especially kung feeling mo kayang kaya ng car mo ang next higher gear sa current road condition. You can actually override this by depressing your accelerator and the transmission will automatically shift to a higher gear. Of course, this depends on the car and size of engine.

 

When driving at night and its not that hot, I don't use my AC.

Wag lang magmadali, and no abrupt braking.

Avoid rush hours. On the way home I usually stay parked at places with free or flat rate parking when I see heavy traffic. Get some coffee, do some reading, fiddle with your laptop/pda/psp. You'll feel a whole lot better driving home when the traffic is lighter.

 

Or you could ride shotgun in your friend's car. Heheh

I leave my house 30 minutes earlier than usual to beat the rush hour. I was able to improve my fuel consumption by almost 1 km/li.

 

When I gas up, I ask the gas attendant to set his pump setting to "1" or "slow." I read the basis for this somewhere but I can no longer recall it!

Easy to the pedal.

 

Driving at 2000 rpm or below it is a very effective way of saving fuel. Kaya maintain lang at 2000rpm while driving or changing gears and definitely bababa ang consumption ng vehicle mo.

try to put a very small glass bottle (with a small thread) hanging on your rear view mirror. this will serve a reminder not to abruptly press on the gas and regulate, measure your brake.

 

if you abruptly press on the gas pedal and brake fast the small glass bottle might break/broken to pieces due to clash on the windshield.

i suggest that we avoid abrupt acceleration and stoppages. then when on the go, try to monitor ur rpm, not to exceed the 2000rpm mark. when on the downhill, shift to neutral and just let ur vehicle roll. but take note to be ready with ur brakes.
