How to improve my gas consumption..?

[monty_GTV]

try driving slower than your normal speed. say you normally drive at 80km/hr, try lowering your speed at 60km/hr. be light footed sa gas pedal, less throttling means less gas consumption

Personally, I've found that slower isn't more efficient. I try to get to 80 kph as much as I can when in the city, provided the traffic allows for it (this takes long since I accelerate very gently).

Smart acceleration and braking is more important than speed per se (unless you're going really fast).

I drive hybrids and I've found the techniques pulse and glide and driving without brakes really help. Also I try to park facing forward when I can and run errands on the same day to minimize trips. We also use our hybrid with better MPGs more vs. the one with less MPGs.

With my Haima7, driving conscious or unconscious doesn't really do much about my FC.. I am trying the 2000 RPM this full tank, and ayun, parang 8KM/L din ang kalalabasan. Eh before, I am shifting sa 2500RPM mark, parang wala namang pinagkaiba.

idol, sa carb ata effective yan. kasi ganyan sentra ko po the slower (lower rpm) mas matipid sya. pero sa bagal mo parang di worth it yung 0.1~1kpl na additional.

travel light (dont make your car a luggage)

when approaching an inclined road (eg flyover, bridge) release the gas pedal right before you reach the crest. youll have enough momentum to go over it & still have enough assistance from gravity to coast along the declivity of the bridge

dont run the car idle more than 3 minutes. if you have to wait for someone for more than 3 minutes, you are better of shutting the engine

use thin oil so you wont have to idle that much after starting your engine from a cold state. but considering the age of your engine, it could be leaking oil already so using thin or less sticky oil could be more costly

plan your jaunts well to minimize shutting of the engine in between trips. starting the engine gulps 3 minutes worth of gas running in idle mode

always make it a point to park under the shade

How does this affect gas consumption?

It doesn't. Unless somebody wants to BS me into thinking that shade = lower temperature = more dense fuels. Because it doesn't work.

it helps you keep aircon usage sparingly
