Several simple tips to improve fuel consumption:

When starting, always select the appropriate lowest gear based on the total weight of the trailer;

If the power is insufficient, try to lower the engine tachometer pointer to the lowest point in the economic zone before shifting down the next gear;

The maximum speed should not be too high and should be stable. Driving at a stable speed for a long time is the most economical;

Pay attention to road conditions, handle situations in advance, use various brakes as little as possible, and control the speed with the throttle;

When driving on normal roads, it is best to keep the RPM pointer in the green zone；

It is best not to use various brakes when going downhill to allow the vehicle to accumulate speed. If necessary, use the engine brake and do not use the foot brake unless necessary;

When approaching traffic lights, use the retarder to slow down first, without having to completely stop the vehicle. Plan reasonably and reduce the number of stops (adding one stop every 10 kilometers will increase fuel consumption by about 35%; stopping and accelerating 10 times every 10 kilometers will increase fuel consumption by 130%);

Choose the route with the least braking and a relatively flat road surface, use the highest gear to choose cruise control, and maximize the vehicle's inertia.This will reduce fuel consumption by 10%;

If each ton is overloaded, the fuel consumption will increase by 0.3L to 0.4L per hundred ton kilometers;

Maintain yourself and your vehicle in good working condition at all times;

Add engine oil slightly below the middle of the upper and lower markings. If the oil level is too high, it will increase your fuel consumption;

Regularly check the tire pressure and choose a reasonable tire pressure based on the total weight of the trailer.

1. Sharpening the knife does not hinder the chopping of firewood. Make a good plan before going on the road

Hurriedly leaving results in various situations on the way. It's better to be prepared before departure. Conduct vehicle inspections in advance and select the shortest and most reasonable route based on road conditions information. This way, you can avoid taking the wrong path and save money by running less.

2. Leave early and have a smooth route to save fuel and improve mood

Many young vehicle holders like to sleep in and only get up and travel when the sun is high in the sky. At this time, there are also many vehicles and people on the road. In order to rush, the accelerator and brake are suddenly pressed on the road, which is very fuel consuming. It is recommended to get up early to drive, as the road is relatively smooth and enjoyable, and fuel efficiency is greatly improved.

3. Use the accelerator as the brake to run at medium speed and save fuel

The motto of many vehicle owners in the era of high oil prices is' stepping on the brakes too much means splashing oil on the ground '. Mr. Yang Xinqing, a bus driver in Xi'an, is the "fuel saving king" of urban public transportation in China. He can save up to 530 liters of fuel per month compared to other drivers. He adopts the 'anticipatory driving method'. Control the speed in a timely manner according to the road conditions ahead, use the accelerator as the brake, slow down in advance when encountering traffic lights, and leisurely refuel in complex areas. Driving too fast or too slow can lead to an increase in fuel consumption. Currently, for most trucks, a speed of 60KM to 80KM is the most fuel-efficient.

4. Vehicles often need to "slim down" as long as they have enough fuel

Trucks running on the road inevitably accumulate dust and dirt everywhere. It is necessary to regularly clean them and "slim down" the trucks in time, which can not only reduce the risk of being overweight can also effectively save fuel. Just keep the fuel tank and water tank sufficient, there is no need to drag the weight of a few people around.

5. "Warm up the vehicle" should not be done for a long time, and it should be driven slowly and evenly

When the weather is cold, many cardholders will "warm up" their vehicles, but if the warm-up time is too long, it will be incompatible with their wallets. We suggest that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle can be slowly and steadily driven for one or two kilometers, which not only covers the mileage but also achieves the effect of warm-up, achieving the best of both worlds.

6. Regularly inspect your vehicle and quickly fix any problems

After stopping the vehicle, check the vehicle frequently and promptly repair any problematic parts. The engine is the heart of a vehicle and requires special attention to achieve fuel efficiency. Maintenance must be strictly carried out according to the maintenance mileage provided by the manufacturer, and the air filter and other parts should be checked and maintained regularly in order to make the vehicle more fuel-efficient.

7. The tire pressure should be adjusted according to the standard, and the modification should be reasonable

Excessive or insufficient tire pressure can increase fuel consumption. It is recommended to regularly check the tire pressure and inflate it by increasing it by 5% to 10% according to the standard tire pressure.

With the hope that the vehicle can run faster and have stronger climbing performance,some drivers may modify the vehicle. When modifying, it is necessary to consult professionals to ensure that the parameters of each part of the vehicle are reasonable. Otherwise, not only is driving unsafe, but it also increases fuel consumption.

8. Stop the engine when parking for a long time and avoid changing lanes while driving

The fuel consumption used by idling the engine for three minutes is sufficient for the vehicle to travel one kilometer, and it can be considered to shut down when queuing, stuck in traffic, or parked for more than one minute. Try not to change lanes while driving and maintain a straight and even speed.

9. Choose the right time and reliable gas station to refuel

Most items have the characteristic of "thermal expansion and contraction", and the same goes for oil. You can choose to refuel in the morning or evening when the temperature is low. Not only can you add a little more fuel, but after a period of sedimentation, the oil quality is also relatively pure. Try to choose a regular gas station for refueling, as small roadside gas stations either have insufficient quantities or poor fuel quality.

10. The throttle is light when going uphill, and fuel saving starts from the engine speed

The engine speed and fuel consumption are directly related, and each engine has its own economical speed. If it is too low or too high, it may lead to an increase in fuel consumption. When driving, try running at different speeds to find the most economical speed. Some drivers like to press the accelerator pedal all the way up when going uphill, thinking that this is the only way to have energy when going uphill. In fact, this is wrong. A higher engine speed does not necessarily make the engine more powerful, but fuel consumption will definitely increase exponentially. The best way is to keep the engine within the economic speed range when going uphill. Of course, each vehicle has its unique characteristics, and we need to explore for a long time to master them.
