The fuel price has jump so high last year it until causes many other things to follow this trend. This has caused many of us to change our lifestyle especially in spending money. Fuel has sucks big portion of the income. What can we do to save on fuel?

Here are some ways to improve the fuel economy for vehicle:

Avoid Excessive Idling
If you are to wait for than a minute while you are not in traffic, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, allow the engine to idle until the temperature gauge pointer comes up to the “C” position. In this position, the engine is sufficiently warm for starting off.

Avoid “Jackrabbit” Starts
Fast starts from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start in a restrained manner.

Avoid Unnecessary Stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a slow steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating back to speed uses more fuel.

Keep a Steady Cruising Speed
Keep as constant a speed as road and traffic conditions will permit.

Keep Air Cleaner Clean
A dirty air cleaner will cause the carburetor to supply too much fuel to the engine. The result is waste of fuel due to incomplete fuel burning.

Keep Weight to a Minimum
The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo when it is not necessary.

Keep Tire Pressure Correct
Underinflation can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of tires. Keep our tires inflated to the correct pressures shown on the label on the driver’s side of your car instrument panel.

These ways ensure fuel economy of your car or vehicle without having to spend your money.
