Gas Saving Tips
Fuel efficiency has never been as major a concern in the American car owner's life as it is now. Beset by spiraling oil prices, increased awareness of depleting oil reserves, and a desire to "go green," the "big is better" psyche is undergoing a sea-change. No longer is the Hummer, the mammoth truck manufactured by General Motors and once the symbol of decadent self-indulgence, a mark that the driver has arrived. In fact, in many places, "Hummer driver" is tantamount to verbal abuse. Former action star and now California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had been instrumental behind the Hummer's popularity and had encouraged the manufacturers to commercially produce the military vehicles, has led the way by modifying one of his own Hummers to run on bio-diesel.
Being green is definitely in, but not many can afford the newly launched, and incredibly expensive, hybrid electric vehicles. Although this new breed of vehicles is very efficient, the usage of experimental technology that does not benefit from economies of scale make them out of reach for the average car owner. Also, it often boils down to a question of support infrastructure. If the gas in your conventional car is running low, you can always count on a refill at the next gas station. Not so if you are the proud owner of an electric-hybrid. Most of them require specialized charging stations. The same holds true for bio-fuel, or gasoline mixed with ethanol. In this context, increasing fuel efficiency of your existing vehicle may be a better bet.
Fuel efficiency is desired not only for environmental considerations, but also to save money. Here's an illustrative example: the average American car owner drives 15,000 miles a year. If, by employing certain strategies we will discuss later, he manages to increase his car's fuel efficiency from 25 mpg to 30 mpg (a very realistic possibility), he saves 100 gallons of gas annually. At prevailing prices of $2.70 to $3.00, this translates to annual savings of as much as $300. Quite a tidy sum indeed! In fact, that's half the average monthly grocery bill for a family of four. If your family owns multiple cars, the savings can really add up!
Here are some strategies that you can employ to get maximum mileage out of every drop of juice:
Basic car maintenance: You can perform certain routine maintenance tasks to improve fuel efficiency.
1) Tire pressure - keep your tire inflated to the maximum rates pressure, as this reduces rolling friction, and consequently, lessens fuel consumption. Also, remember that the temperature outside affects the tire pressure. When it is cold outside, the tire pressure drops and has to be refilled.
2) Wheel alignment - ensure that the wheels of your car are perfectly aligned for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.
3) Reducing weight - remove the junk in the trunk which you do not need while traveling. Also, remove unused roof racks. Besides reducing weight, this reduces aerodynamic drag, both of which can adversely affect fuel efficiency.
Basic driving habits: There are some basic driving habits you can follow that can substantially reduce fuel consumption.
1) Efficient speed - drive at the rated efficient speed. If you can't find this information from the manufacturer or other sources, deduce it yourself through trial runs. This is usually at the highest gear at minimum throttle.
2) Choice of roads - drive on smooth roads that are not congested. Smoothness reduces friction while lack of congestion prevents wastage of fuel.
3) Plan your stops - plan your stops so that you don't have to brake excessively and consequently, lose a lot of momentum. By the same logic, avoid stopping at bottom of hills when you have picked up a lot of momentum due to the elevation. At signals, if possible, try to arrive at the stop sign as the car ahead is leaving. This reduces idling time where fuel is needlessly consumed.
4) Coasting - coasting is driving without pressing the accelerator. This is possible down slopes or when you have already built up speed and want to reduce it gradually. It is recommended that you keep the engine running and the transmission in gear to deal with emergency situations.
5) Windows and sunroofs - they should be closed while driving at high speeds to reduce aerodynamic drag. While keeping windows can help you keep the AC off, thereby reducing fuel consumption, at higher speeds the drag due to air resistance burns more fuel than the AC. Therefore, it is advised to close the windows and turn on the AC at higher speeds.
Advanced driving habits: There are certain advanced driving techniques you can follow to increase fuel efficiency. However, they are often dangerous and sometimes, even forbidden by law.
1) Drafting - following another vehicle, preferably a larger one, at close proximity reduces aerodynamic resistance. This is called drafting and happens because the air immediately behind the vehicle in front has already been set in motion. This region with the air in motion is called the slipstream of the first vehicle, and this technique is also known as "slipstreaming."
2) Coasting on neutral or with engine off - although this kind of coasting is even more fuel-efficient than the type mentioned before, it is quite dangerous as the driver has less control over the vehicle and will take longer to react in emergencies.
Miscellaneous: There are some other useful tips you can follow to maximize fuel efficiency:
1) Parking techniques - Minimize use of brakes during parking; gradually glide in. Park such that reversing and forwarding is not required repeatedly.
2) Starting up - A car is least efficient when the engine is cold. Therefore, if you have multiple cars, choose the one that has been used recently and is warmed up.
3) Winter driving - Keep the car in a warm place. Brush off all accumulated snow to reduce unnecessary weight. Avoid driving through snow as it increases friction. If you have to drive through snow, drive along the tire tracks of the vehicles ahead of you.
4) Summer driving - Minimize AC usage. You can keep windows open at low speeds, avoid going out in peak sunlight, etc.
