Tips for saving gasoline for scooters

Experts give advice to people using scooters.

Ms. Nguyen Lan Huong (Thai Thinh, Hanoi) shared that from the day of gasoline price increase, every time she refueled, she felt like she was stolen money. If her previous Attila motorbike filled an average of 80,000 VND for more than a week, now it has poured over 100,000 VND for less than a week. Ms. Huong also used methods to save gas such as going slow, buying gasoline in the morning . in order to save gas the most but still not effective.

Go around without blocking fuel

According to Mr. Le Binh, Hanoi School of Applied Engineering , with station cars using water tanks (with cooling water tanks), if they go slowly, it causes a situation of high car temperature leading to more fuel consumption. When operating railway cars using a water tank, you should go at an average speed of over 40km / h depending on the level of safety allowed by the road. Operating the car a little faster will help the cooling air for the water tank more and less fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption when traffic congestion will be 20 - 45% higher.

MSc Hoang Ngoc Thuyet, head of the Department of Motorbike and Car Research, Hanoi University of Education said that not only motorbikes use water tanks, but all cars when traveling slowly cost petrol . Slow walking here is understood as 5 - 10km / h because the slow moving of the centrifugal axis will not work to connect the movement for the cake. According to calculations, for the wheel to spin a turn, the engine must turn 25 rounds so that the vehicle can go all necessary to have a speed of over 10km / h. Therefore, at this time, the vehicle must increase the gas to increase the thrust of the vehicle, which increases the amount of heat and reduces the amount of fuel consumed, so going slowly will consume more fuel than quickly.

When going to the inner city, it is necessary to choose a road with a little block even though it is a little farther away from the road which is blocked. For example, the straight line only has 5km but there is a lot of traffic.

Because when traffic jams require slow travel, it means more fuel. According to calculations, fuel consumption when traffic congestion will be 20 - 45% higher than the unobstructed distance. A car that consumes 3 liters / 100km now costs 5 liters.

Car hygiene

Experts say that many people now have the wrong idea of ​​buying gasoline in the morning to save more gas than in the afternoon.In principle, gasoline expands when the temperature rises, so that during the night, the gas shrinks, reducing the volume, and in the afternoon, gasoline expands. However, the way to buy gasoline in the morning will be good, but that is the way to apply it when filling up a lot of gasoline. Because the temperature difference is only about 2 ⁰ C, the level of expansion is not much, if you buy 1 liter, it only expands by a thousand of this will not mean anything to save gas.

In addition, the concept should be fueled when half of the bottle will be better when the car has run out of gas is also incorrect. According to this concept, if the gas tank is depleted, when the gas is poured, the flow of gasoline will be greater pressure, causing the gas to expand in volume. When gasoline is 1/2, the distance from the gas hose to the new gasoline falls and the pressure in the gas tank is not as much as when the gas is empty.

According to MSc Ngoc Thuyet, it is the right way to get the right speed and the right techniques such as avoiding sudden braking, braking much, cleaning the air filter regularly . to save gas, but the above methods do not work much.
