Saving gasoline in the automatic car, and contrary to what is common.. “N” mode increases fuel consumption in the car

Providing gasoline in the car is one of the most important skills that drivers seek to acquire, as gasoline costs a large part of the cost of owning a car, and with the economic conditions that the world is going through and the constantly increasing cost of gasoline , the skills of maintaining and caring for the car and reducing gasoline consumption are among the necessities that must be learned Car owners around the world.

The most important steps to save gasoline in an automatic car:-

1. Walking on well-paved roads and avoiding crowded roads and streets filled with mud and sand, as this causes more resistance and results in more gasoline consumption.
2. Changing the oil regularly, as the soft oil causes more gasoline consumption.
3. Reducing the use of air conditioning and using it when necessary and replacing it with opening windows, as running the air conditioning constantly causes 15% more gasoline consumption.
4. Stay away from sudden stop and constant pressure on the brakes and speed up in a sudden way as well.
5. Ensure that the tires contain an appropriate air pressure and the need to clean the spark plugs and the air filter regularly.
6. Avoid heavy loads in the car and unnecessary use of loudspeakers.
7. Avoid heating the car for long periods and being careful not to fill the fuel tank etc. It is preferable to choose the morning time to fuel the car where the fuel density is high.

The relationship of position N with the consumption of gasoline in the car:-

A large number of drivers, especially those who acquired the wrong driving habits from other drivers who do not know which is better,
often practice the wrong driving by not switching to the N position when the vehicle is not moving.

The engine consumes more fuel in D mode, in addition to consuming the brakes
in cars with automatic transmission, D mode makes the car ready to move forward, and when you press the brakes, you prevent this movement, as well as you unnecessarily consume transmission oil and friction components of the internal transmission that weaken With the passage of time

But by switching to Neutral N mode, you reduce the need to use the brakes to brake the car’s progression forward, thus saving and maintaining the brake components, engine and transmission

But this method also consumes fuel while waiting, because fuel is pumped to maintain the stability of the number of engine revolutions per minute. Therefore, if you want to save the maximum amount of fuel, turning off the engine is the best way, and this is in the case of waiting for more than a minute,
and turning off the engine maintains It protects the environment from pollution and reduces carbon emissions and global warming.

In the following table, we show the amount of fuel consumption if the engine is running without a load (ie without lights, air conditioning, fans or any electrical tools)

A gallon equals 3.78 liters

But there are some people also believe that if the car is moving and descending on a slope, for example, if the car is placed in the neutral position, it will save fuel, and this is on the contrary, keeping the car in driving position D is best because in this case the engine will not need any fuel To maintain the state of rotation because it will gain kinetic energy from the wheels and not from fuel, and it also keeps the stability and control of the car in a better condition
