How to Improve Fuel Economy (3)

 Air Resistance – Less Is More, Leave it all behind

Roof racks are usually great for creating more room for carrying more gear, however for fuel efficiency leave the roof rack, bike racks, ski racks and roof boxes off your car unless needed and being used.

Air resistance causes aerodynamic drag (friction), requiring more energy and therefore more fuel to be used to overcome the friction.

Despite how fancy or aerodynamic these additions may look, they add drag and decrease your fuel economy. You will be rewarded with better fuel economy for taking a little bit of time and effort to remove these additions from the car.

How to Improve Fuel Economy (1)

From today, we would love start our journey with you: How to Improve Fuel Economy, pls note these sgugest, will help you a lot for Fuel Economy.

1 Acceleration and Speed – Managing Your Right Foot

This may be the simplest and most effective hint for getting better fuel economy. The more rapid you accelerate the more petrol your car will use.

This of course means that your fuel economy will go down. The slower you accelerate the less petrol your car will use.

In relation to speed, even throughout acceleration, wind resistance increases its impact on a vehicle the greater the speed at which the vehicle is travelling. Did you know that cars are much more efficient when driving at around 75 km/hr than they are above 100km/hr or more?

The same vehicle may notice a difference of 15% or greater in fuel economy between travelling at 75 km/hr and 110 km/hr. As the car’s speed increases, air resistance causes friction and this consumes more power output and hence more fuel.

What can be done?When travelling on freeways, maintain a constant speed and try to brake less if possible. Moderate your acceleration and deceleration.

When approaching red traffic lights or places where you need to stop, don’t race up to them and then suddenly stop. It is better to safely moderate speed on such approaches and improves your fuel economy. If traffic lights change from red to green and traffic ahead moves along, that will help if you are able to move with the traffic without stopping.

Accelerating from a stationary position consumes more fuels that from a forward moving position. This technique will improve your fuel economy.

To Know More About OBD2 Car Diagnostic Tool
An auto diagnostic tool is a device in which you should consider investing if you are a car technician or even a car owner. Perhaps the only difference between the two is a professional technician would require a professional auto diagnostic kit whereas a car owner can do with a basic car diagnostic tool

If you are scared about the automotive diagnostic tool getting obsolete then let me tell you, you can easily upgrade the tool by using software. Such a software is widely available on the internet. So you don't have to worry about buying new/upgraded diagnostic tools every other time. To save money, you may invest in basic automotive fitness products which are cheap and pretty practical to use.
