Mistakes about saving gas

Pumping the bottle to avoid evaporation, the number of stops at the time of use or the use of additives is one of the misconceptions about fuel savings.

Whether the price of gasoline increases or decreases, the drivers always know how to apply a variety of methods to make the car operate in the most economical way. There are many ways to save fuel to be effective for old cars, but useless for new cars equipped with electronic fuel injection system.

Fill the gas tank to avoid evaporation

Fuel tanks are always full when traveling, which is a good idea, because you don't know how far the gas station is going. Some people believe that putting the fuel tank near the end will make the fuel evaporate quickly. This may be true for older cars, and on new generation cars, it is often equipped with gas sensor system. On these new models also use a fuel compression system, accompanied by an error indicator on the dashboard, informing the driver that the fuel tank cap is loose or improperly twisted.

Go to the number of mo (N) when stopping the vehicle

This has been used by many drivers with cars equipped with a carburetor. However, today, all models are equipped with a programmed electronic fuel injection system. When the car stops, the amount of gasoline sprayed into the combustion chamber is minimal even when gearing up. In this case just make the quick gear box worn.

Number of floors helps save fuel

The skilled driver often selects the floor number because they can control the engine's cycle of the engine well, through a smooth way to enter and exit. Today, automatic transmissions use high technology to handle better than drivers with taper and gear. Whether or not savings depend on driving skills depends on the gearbox.

Dirty air filters cost gasoline

In older cars, air is usually taken directly into the carburetor through air filtration. Then, the air filter is easily clogged, which can affect fuel consumption. Today, using the ECM motor controller, it helps to precisely adjust the ratio of wind to carburetor. On today's cars, air passes through the filter and through the air sensor, then the ECM will calculate and adjust the ratio accordingly, meaning that less wind enters the engine equivalent to the fuel. go into less processing. Thus, dirty wind filter will be less affected by fuel consumption which affects the operation of the vehicle. The car will be weak and dull.

Pouring fuel on a cool day (or early morning) will produce more gas

There are still many people who believe that filling gasoline on a cool day or early morning in the summer will help the car have more fuel, because at this time gasoline is less volatile. This may be true if pumped directly from a tank truck, but if pumped at a gas station is no different. Because gasoline at stations is often contained in large tanks deep underground, so the outside temperature can hardly affect the storage tanks.

Cruise control system helps save fuel

The cruise control system helps the car maintain a constant speed, most drivers think it will help save fuel. If applicable on long trips and on flat terrain, it may be true.

But if you encounter a slope, the system will increase the throttle suddenly, thus burning more fuel. At this time to avoid sudden throttle, the driver can temporarily turn off the cruise control system and control the throttle on his own to avoid danger and save more gas.

Use additives

Most car owners want to save fuel for cars, which is why accessories shops always offer gas-saving additive products and come with sweet and sweet ads. Whether or not this additive can save fuel, it can even be dirty or obstructed, leading to increased maintenance and repair costs. In addition, the effects of these additives on the engine are not mentioned.

The age of the car is proportional to the fuel consumption

In fact, the age of the car does not affect much on fuel consumption, if the car is maintained and cared for regularly.

Lower the back door of the truck

Many truck drivers think that lowering the rear door will increase aerodynamics, which will improve fuel consumption. However, according to General Motor engineers, driving with the rear door closed really creates aerodynamics.
