Tips to Save Gas

[OldSchoolHack]

Older vehicles can improve their FC by using common sense strategies.

GOOD CAR MAINTENANCE!

No need for magical and pseudo science approaches. Tune up and clean up and the car starts to use fuel better. You can waste money on so-called devices (it's your money anyway) but then you do not help the "green cause" or save fuel (you just make the vendors of such crap richer).

Thanks sir!
+1000 for you too, with regular car maintenance you're improving it's performance and prolonging it's life span..

That is under remove excess weight. A lot of things can be done to remove excess weight which includes removing your spare tire for short trips and bringing a tire puncture sealer instead (from around 10++ kilos to 200 grams!). Marami pa like removing ricey decors (body kits with little or no function except decorative), rain guards, heavy or multiple floor mats, too many tool kits, etc.

Originally, I was referencing air resistance of the roof rack, rather than the weight of it.

I did read a study about this a few months ago, that upwards of 10% increase in fuel consumption savings can be had by this simple step of removing the roof rack when not needed.

Air resistance is really a BIG factor along with excess weight in wasting fuel.

Other items that affect air resistance are such items as lowered windows rather than fully closed, a pick-up tailgate that is raised with no load in the back. Some wind resistant wheel covers, etc.

Every little bit helps.

Ciao!

There was a study also that lowering your windows vs using the A/C will just consume the same Fuel in long-distance travelling. But if lower you're window by just a bit (esp if you have raingutter installed), it will help your FC.

Indeed wind resistance is a factor that is why for example trailers preferably should use deflectors.

so it means na kapag mas mataas ang octane rating, mas fuel efficient?

Not necessarily. Its really matching the proper fuel for the car. Some cars work just as efficient with 93 or 95 octane while some work better with higher octane. In our case, our 93 Sentra 1.4L also runs better with XCS (more efficient and runs "lighter") as compared to when i use Xtra Unleaded or even the 95 octane of other companies.

Drive between 75-80kph all the time.

Siguro, during these times na sobrang mahal na ng presyo ng gasolina, ang best tip to save gas is use the public transport....

dumb question, ano po ba ang common na inaayos pag nagpapa-tune up? ang alam ko lang po, pinapalitan ang spark plugs. but aside from that, ano pa po ba ang tune up? sorry for the stupid question..
