For the thrift enthusiast… 5 steps to reduce your car’s fuel consumption by 30%

After rising fuel prices in many countries around the world, the German Automobile Maintenance Authority launched a set of tips that help reduce fuel consumption in the car by up to 30%

Among the most important of these tips are:

 Beware of speeding

Driving at high speeds leads to an increase in the engine’s fuel consumption, so the technical authority recommended not to exceed the prescribed speed, in order to avoid increasing the car’s consumption of fuel.
 

 Avoid using the highest levels of cooling in the air conditioner

Research has shown that there is a direct relationship between high cooling temperatures in the car air-conditioner and increased fuel consumption, so you should use medium cooling temperatures; To avoid exposure to this matter.
 

No need to open windows

It is known that opening the windows while driving increases the resistance of the car’s body to the air, which requires an increase in the effort on the car’s engine, which resists overcoming this matter by recalling a greater amount of fuel; To overcome the air resistance, and thus the high fuel consumption of the car, it is not recommended to open the windows completely while driving.
 

Reducing vehicle loads and weights: 

Excess loads in the car are also one of the main reasons that increase the rate of car fuel consumption, so you need to get rid of as much unnecessary weight as possible in the car while driving.

Not adjusting the air pressure in the car: 

One of the important things that must be noted is that not adjusting the air pressure in the tires increases the rate of car fuel consumption, so you must make sure that the air pressure inside the tires is adjusted in cars.
