Now the gasoline price It continues to grow and there are no signs of adjustment that would benefit us. Different factors, such as the inflation problem and the war in Ukraine, have generated this cost growth.
For all these reasons, it is good for vehicle drivers to know some tricks with which we can save fuel. All this contributes to managing resources at an economic level when we talk about mobility.
A very practical tip
Among the most interesting tips that we can discuss, we talk about using a button that the car must save up to twenty percent on fuel. The truth is that often it will go unnoticed by drivers and now you will know the potential it will have.
What is the function of the cruise control system?
This system is a mechanism by which the vehicle can maintain a constant speed. All this without the need for the driver to step on the accelerator or brake on a specific route.
I actually said this thing directly contributes to saving fuel and driving is more efficient.
A study was carried out by Natural Resources Canada which compared the fuel costs of a series of cars equipped with and without the crossing control system and which showed that the cost will be 20% larger when the system is not in use.
We believe that the use of this system will gain strength when driving on highways and highways, since it will be easier to maintain a constant pace in order to save gasoline.
In urban sections, it is quite complex to maintain a constant speed over time, which will also complicate savings.
One button to save fuel
You may not have heard it, but in vehicles there is a button with which you can record on the order of 30% of fuel.
We are talking about the air recirculation button found on the central panel of the vehicle. This button presents the silhouette of the vehicle which has an arrow in the shape of Inverted “U” inside. This shows the airflow inside based on the silhouette drawn.
Thanks to this button, it is possible for the car’s air flow to circulate inside the car again. For this reason, it will act as a temporary recycling which will use the cold air that will be present in the vehicle so that the air conditioning system works for less time.
An important point
With this action, fuel consumption is saved by optimize airflow in the car. The point is that you should know that said button should not be used for long periods of time, only in specific circumstances.
Air conditioning: a factor that will increase consumption
The use of air conditioning by drivers presents a series of different opinions.
There are some who believe that it is better use it as little as possible and that the windows are lowered, while others believe that their use will provide a much more pleasant environment in the vehicle.
Whatever your opinion, know that air conditioning helps maintain a cooler environment in the car.
Let’s think that Prolonged use of such a system will increase fuel consumption.
It must be understood that said system in its operation must make a greater effort when it transforms hot air into cold air. Especially due to the high temperatures that can occur in certain situations when traveling on roads and other roads.
Sometimes our car is a big unknown
As we have seen, there are certain buttons or functions in our vehicle that we may not be aware of. Cars are becoming more and more complex and when we have a new model or even if it is used, we see that there are many things that we do not use and we have to spend more time than reading carefully the user manual.
In this way we will take advantage of all the functions that can help us improve both driving and the user experience itself.
So you know, now is the time to educate yourself and make greater use of everything that our vehicles can offer us, especially when they can help us save fuel, increase safety or comfort of the vehicle.
