One simple action reduces fuel consumption by several percent: how savvy drivers save on fuel

It turns out that performing one simple action can significantly reduce the car's gasoline or diesel consumption. The figure will decrease by at least 2%. SSPDaily tells about it.

What do you need to do? Experienced drivers advise simply cleaning your trunk. First of all, you need to remove all heavy items that you are unlikely to need on the road.

For example, it's better to store tools in the garage rather than in this section of the vehicle. All kinds of junk also have no place in a car.

It has been observed that reducing the weight of a car by 45 kg helps reduce fuel consumption by 2%. And if you remove 100 kg, then the figure will decrease by more than 4%. Believe me, in the long run, this is quite a significant saving.

This effect is not surprising. A car needs to consume much less fuel because it becomes lighter.

The level of fuel consumption is affected by various factors: weather conditions, driving style, type of road surface, condition of parts, etc. But experienced drivers say that driving speed is equally important.

It turns out that there is an "economical" speed that consumes the least amount of fuel. It is best to choose between 80 and 100 kilometers per hour. It is under these conditions that the power unit maintains the best mode. Of course, you won't be able to accelerate in the city. Therefore, this trick will come in handy for long trips.
