Saving fuel while driving is a contradiction in itself, but it is indeed possible to avoid wasting fuel through driving habits<\/strong>. “Between 30 and 50% of fuel expenditure depends on the owner’s driving style<\/em>,” as stated by the Direcci\u00f3n General de Tr\u00e1fico<\/a> (DGT). Pay attention because we bring you 5 tips to save fuel while driving.<\/p>\n

Use Long Gears<\/h2>\n

It is recommended, whenever possible, to use long gears<\/strong> so that the engine is more relaxed and consumes the minimum. Thus, before reaching 50 kilometers\/hour, the fourth or fifth gear should be engaged. Additionally, according to the DGT<\/a>, in traffic jams, it is advisable to stop the engine to avoid unnecessary consumption and drive at a “moderate and constant speed<\/em>” to avoid the need for sudden braking and consuming more fuel.<\/p>\n

Constant Speed<\/h2>\n

The best driving is characterized by being constant and “without ups and downs<\/em>.” When coming to a stop, it is recommended to accelerate “<\/strong>progressively and change gears to take advantage of the engine’s best performance.”<\/strong><\/em> If a sudden start is made, the car will go faster but consume three times more. Modern cars do not have to be “utilitarian” to consume less; technologies implemented in vehicles allow for lower consumption.<\/p>\n

Air Conditioning<\/h2>\n

The use of air conditioning involves between 10 and 20% more<\/strong>, so it is recommended to use it when necessary and always with the windows down on the highway.<\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n
\n

Luggage<\/h2>\n

To transport luggage, it is advisable to use a roof box<\/strong>. If the items are placed haphazardly on the car’s roof rack, it will hinder the car’s aerodynamics and may be dangerous for other drivers.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Drive on “Flat Terrain”<\/h2>\n

For a car to consume less, it is necessary to drive on “flat terrain” as the car avoids an effort that would translate into fuel consumption. On the other hand, a car will consume less when traveling between 70 and 90 kilometers\/hour.<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
