Action Now...
The way you drive and maintain the car can affect the fuel using efficiency of your car in a large degree. Action now! Your effort can reduce car emissions which can reduce your expense and save energy at the same time. Most importantly, you are protecting the Earth. So, why not?
Drive less, purchase a green car, or reduce your consumption of fuel. Whatever you do, it’s a good start. The following are some tips to reduce oil consumption. We can also answer your questions face to face during the car show.
Driving
Many professionals believed that, the oil consumption increases are to a great extent creates by incorrect driving habits. The same vehicle, because of the operational level is different; the oil consumption difference may reach as high as 8% by two different drivers. If the vehicle owner improved their not standard movement, then will received quick results to saves gas and oil.
1.slow starts
When start, best slow, start rapidly wound the vehicle, also wastes the fuel. According to the reckoning, starts rapidly 10 times, wastes above approximately 120 milliliters fuel. The automobile starts on full load or the slope way, the best use gear one to get start, medium strength press accelerator. When idling, start within gear two then change to gear three, the higher gear keep run longer time on this position. You must pay attention to the engine noises and keep it low, because that raising fuel costs .
2.medium-speed travel
Engine when traveling on medium-speed saves the oil mostly. When there is no big load needs, do not keep the engine stay in the high-speed condition. Moreover, if automobile travel in high speed, then must overcome the bigger air drag, makes the fuel consumption to increase sharply.
3.reduced brakes
In travel, pay attention at front situation needs to process ahead of time, may release gear, keeps off the glide the method, reduces the emergency brake to reduce the energy loss because as far as possible which applies the brake to create.
4.reduced idle operations
Must reduce the racing of engine as far as possible. When parking for waiting, please turn off engine. Moreover when high speed driving, please keep windows shut, because shakes down the glass is able to destroy the vehicle’s air drag, thus causes the automobile consumption raising.
5.reduced stop
Please try to reduce the stop times. During driving, foresees the situation ahead of time, maintains the automobile movement inertia as far as possible, using vehicle speed processing situation, should not stop the vehicle does not necessary, reduces the nonessential oil consumption.
6.reduced turning
Please pay attention to the reduction turning back of car number of times. When reversing the vehicle keep the speed low, oil consumption compared to move towards is more, in the driving, should reduce the turning back of car number of times as far as possible, when firmly need to turn, should make the best idling opportunity choice terrain ahead tone, avoids the reversing turning, in particular avoids times of reversing turning.
Maintenance
Whether does an automobile save fuel, besides related with the drivers’ personal habit, the automobile’s condition quality also is a key which saves fuel, but the condition quality and the vehicles maintenance has the direct relations.
Certainly, spare part is only an extremely a few related with saving fuel, therefore many vehicle owners ignore the point, the vehicle owner must take care the maintenance lead to reduce Co2 emission.
1.Maintains the air filter
The air filter function is the purification the air goes to cylinder, if refuels over the standard and too dirty, can hinder the air to be unimpeded, thus creates the fuel consumption increase. The experiment proved, if fuel too dirty, oil level too high, you have to paid 20% more fuel bill. Therefore must pay attention to the regular maintenance, after each time clean the filter, the machine oil also must according to the scale division standard replenishment.
2.Elimination carbon depositions
After the combustion chamber carbon deposition increases, easy to cause the inflammable mixture spontaneous combustion, creates the power to drop, if the carbon deposition excessively are too many, increase about 8% fuel cost, therefore in maintenance must eliminate the combustion carbon deposition earnestly, reduces the unnecessary fuel consumption.
3.maintains the Muffler
Muffler are designed in order to reduce noise. Its function is to dispel some of the noise lead to reduce pollution, but on the other hand, it stresses impede the exhaust emissions, some power consumption. If the breakdown of damaged muffler, it will further impede the smooth flow of air exclusion, increasing fuel consumption. Therefore attention should be paid to muffler normal functions, such as damage found should be fixed or replaced as soon as possible.
4.Check the spark plugs
Spark plug is to conduct high-voltage electricity into cylinder, resulting in the inter-electrode spark ignited the mixture. It has been tested: a spark plug does not work, want more than 25% of fuel consumption; two does not work, many will be more than 60% of fuel consumption. In addition the size of spark plug gap, and so on are the number of carbon deposition on the power and have a direct impact on fuel consumption. It should be noted in the use of well adjust right spark plug gap, the gap must adjust models according to the required standards and the actual cylinder pressure to adjust. If the pressure too large at high speed when the engine fires easily stop, too small the spark is too weak, difficult to ignite the mixture, easily lead to carbon deposition, the formation of short-circuit and can not flash over, thus affecting the normal operation of the engine, reducing engine power, increased fuel consumption.
5.Adjust tire pressure
In accordance with the standard air pressure in tires will consume a part in certain period of time, and a decline in tire pressure, the driving resistance, tire life and fuel consumption has a greater impact. Therefore, attention should be paid at road check tire pressure, to ensure it’s within the normal range.
6.Ensure braking performance
Good brakes can improve the average vehicle speed and the transport efficiency of technology, if the poor braking performance, it would be difficult to ensure traffic safety, but also the same impact on fuel consumption. Therefore right to maintain, adjust better braking systems, fuel efficiency is also an aspect of security. In use to ensure the normal operation of braking system performance, to prevent brake problems, braking and braking instability, such as deviation fault.
7.light vehicle travel
In the latter do not fit inside or overweight items on seats. The heavier vehicles the more fuel consumption. You must clean-up the vehicle frequently, excess, whether it is rarely used a pair of shoes, or half bottle machine oil, it will increase the car's weight, and thus increase the bill on your pocket
8.periodic maintenance engines
At least every year makes a preventive maintenance to the engine, because the engine long-time detuning can increase the fuel consumption.
Choice
To achieve the purpose of fuel-efficient, to select a suitable model is the key, because the fuel consumption of different models are different.
1. Small displacement fuel-efficient better than large displacement
Generally speaking the larger displacement engine, more body weight, the greater the fuel consumption. Such models are generally economic cars, comparison, fuel can be saved.汽油。
2. Manual fuel efficient better than automatic
Same brand, same style of car, automatic costs are certainly higher than the Manual model, automatic fuel consumption per 100 km or about 1-2L more than manual.
3. Diesel vehicles more fuel-efficient than petrol vehicles
At present, Chinese manufacturer rolled out diesel-powered vehicles, fuel-efficient better than petrol vehicles. Someone think good about diesel vehicles, but someone else do not think diesel vehicles can fundamentally solve the energy problem, hybrid power is the most market potential. In any case, China's auto market is important to put energy saving as a research topic, is the direction of development about automobile market opportunities for the future, therefore, for consumers, the energy-saving fuel-efficient car on this day will close
