Fuel Efficiency Measures

Properly inflated tiers
if you imagine riding flat tiered cycle, you would realize it takes a lot of force to move even an inch. Similarly, it takes a lot engine power/force if the driver drags low inflated tiers on the road. The right pressure for 1000-1800cc cars is 32psi for the front tiers and 30psi for rear. Remember to 36psi for spear tier.  Pressure should be checked from anywhere between 15-20 days.

Control of RPM & Speed
It has been proven by many car manufactures around the world that the gears should be changed at an RPM of 4(x1, 000). It consumes 30% more fuel if RPM crosses 5(x 1,000). Try to drive in as higher gear as possible to reduce burden on the engine. Internationally 55 mph is considered to most optimal speed for fuel consumption. One can end up saving 20% fuel if the speed is kept consistent on longer routes.

Air Filter/Oil Change
Make sure to clean/change air filter after every 2, 000 kilometers as blocked/clogged air filter consumers more energy to clean the intake of air. Change of oil filter/oil should take place before or at the specifications of cars’ manufacturer.

Avoid unnecessary burden
Avoid any unnecessary burden in the vehicle as more energy is required to pull more weight. Many drivers keep heavy metallic stuff in their cars which reduces fuel efficiency. Keep your fuel tanks half filled as 15-20 liters can add weight in overall weight management.

The above-mentioned practices if adopted with care can increase fuel efficiency by 25%.
