Tips on saving car petrol for dummies
Okay since we are like lame ducks just waiting for the petrol price to increase, there are actually some common-sense tips that can actually save our fuel usage. Here are a few which i found on the net.
1. Keep your car in tune.
Don’t skip your car’s service when they’re due. A poorly maintained engine can cut your petrol mileage up to 20 percent. Even a clogged air filter alone can cause up to a 10 percent increase in fuel consumption.
2. Remove unnecessary weight
The heavier the car, the more fuel is needed to move it. So remove what is not needed. You might find the missing 12-pound bowling ball in there. You can even try to lose weight (which will save you in terms of food costs as well).
3. Pump up your tires __(’Read the rest of this entry »’)
Under-inflated tires require more energy to roll, which not only wastes fuel but also wears the tires faster. Check that your tires are inflated to their capacity.
