Simple fuel-efficient driving skills

Simple fuel-efficient driving skills

slow-moving vehicle to reduce heat loss

Under normal circumstances, many vehicle owners will be cold-started, hot cars idling to stay in place. But doing so more than 1 minutes, wear and tear on the engine will be very large. Research data show that this is not only an increase of 2.7% in the risk of engine failure, and in-situ hot cars will increase by 11.3% of the carbon dioxide emissions, Moreover, the in-situ hot cars also make the water inside the exhaust pipe can not be discharged, leading to the exhaust pipe rust, corrosion will be severe or even perforation.

Recommendation: do not need to in-situ hot car. Do not just start the vehicle immediately accelerated, slow line a few minutes to gradually heat up the engine, and then speed up the traffic uniformly.

Parking for one minute to turn off

Traffic jam or a red light when the practice of the vast majority of owners are linked into the neutral gear, up the hand brake, and then quietly wait. But the test data obtained proved the engine idling in neutral gear cases, run 3 minutes of fuel consumed more than enough for car travel 1 km. ,Car parking sensor in Europe in order to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, parking immediately turn off the traffic laws and regulations had been adopted as enforceable.



Recommendation: traffic lights encountered parking for more than 1 minute idling traffic jam for more than four minutes driving and parking conditions and others must remember to turn off. So even if only 1 minute, restart the idle speed more fuel-efficient than

Don't call while driving


Survey showed that: By car dial phone, the driver will subconsciously will speed an average of 17%, while the risk of missing the junction will also increase by 40%.3.5 GPS navigation If the time is counted into the areas of environmental protection, then call the average car driver will be very environmentally unfriendly waste of 7% of the time. In addition, in most cities, traffic police have been caught driving a cell phone, then not only be fined but also demerit points is in fact very uneconomical.

Recommendation: the car transferred into a mute state of a mobile phone, get off draw a line call. If the car has Bluetooth hands-free phone system, but also be regarded as a relatively easy choice, but still have to try to use less.
