Fuel Saving Tips


Recommended Posts

1. Change your air filter every 10,000, your fuel filter every 20,000

2. Use synthetic motor oil of the right grade for our country. Synthetics are more temperature stable than mineral based oils.

3. Avoid traffic. My normal fc (car computer) is 18km/lit with mostly highway & moderate city traffic. With heavy traffic, that goes down to 12/lit or less.

4. Maintain a steady pace, 80-90 km/hr if you can (I can't, boring). Keep rpms low.

5. Accelerate when approaching an incline & decelerate when approaching a decline.

6. Coast in gear at high gear when on a decline (coasting in neutral is not safe).

5. In the mornings when motor is cold, the car consumes more fuel (mine at startup gets 56l/100kms or 1.7 km/lit kasi naka choke. It rapidly declines as it warms up)

6. Do not idle excessively. Tell your driver not to sleep in the car with the aircon on.

for my car, since its an old honda, i was able to tune it for a balance of mileage and performance. pero syempre nandyan pa rin yung iwas late braking, madiin na tapak sa accelerator, etc.

 

oh btw, imho please do not put your tranny in neutral when rolling. youre more prone to accidents this way. anyway, engine braking is not supposed to be a gas guzzler since your injectors are not squirting fuel like your stepping on the throttle. para ka ring naka idle or nag ffree rolling ng naka neutral with the benefit of engine brake.

Good day, confirm ko lang if nakapatay ang aircon na it saves fuel?

 

yup. less load on the engine. pero kapag naka baba bintana mo tapos mabilis takbo mo (around 60-up) wala rin yung benefits kasi yung drag naman nung hangin tumataas.
