Hey earth caretaker, You are here to save fuel to improve vehicle efficiency and also environment. I write these secrets not to save money but just to save the earth. Not all vehicles but just only cars around the world burn approximately 1.89 billion gallons of fuel per day. Can just we say that our children will be saved on this planet? I request you to always maintain your vehicle and try to use busses and trains so we can travel faster and also save the earth.
Below this paragraph, I write the table of contents for your easy navigation. You can also read the whole article but if you want to navigate to a specific part of the article, please use this table of contents to navigate with scrolling.

1. Check Tyre Pressure
Checking tyre pressure is important to improve fuel efficiency. When tyres are not properly inflated, the car uses more fuel. This is because under-inflated tyres create more resistance on the road, making the engine work harder. Keeping your tyres at the correct pressure makes the car move more easily and uses less fuel. Check your tyre pressure regularly, at least once a month.
Use a tyre pressure gauge to make sure the pressure is right. Look in your car’s manual to find the correct tyre pressure. Keeping tyres properly inflated helps save fuel, reduces wear and tear on tyres, and makes your vehicle safer to drive.
2. Drive Smoothly
Sudden stops and fast starts use a lot of fuel. Try to accelerate gently and brake slowly. Keep a steady speed when driving. Use cruise control on highways if you have it. This helps the car use fuel more efficiently. Driving smoothly not only saves fuel but also reduces wear on your car. It makes your trips more comfortable and safe.
Sorry for interrupting you, I like to tell you that I made many online calculators and tools related to vehicl fuel efficiency, You like to use one of these tools.
3. Lighten the Load
Extra weight makes the engine work harder and use more fuel. Remove any unnecessary items from your car, like heavy tools or sports equipment. Check the trunk and back seats for things you don’t need to carry. Even small items can add up and affect fuel efficiency.
4. Stop Idling
When your car is idling, it uses fuel without going anywhere. Turn off the engine if you are stopped for more than a minute, like at a long red light or waiting for someone. Modern cars use less fuel to restart than to idle. Reducing idling time helps save fuel and is better for the environment.
5. Use AC Less
AC depends on the compressor to compress gas to cool down the vehicle but the AC blower works on the vehicle’s battery. If you start AC your vehicle’s engine is fuel to give the power to the compressor. Air conditioning puts extra load on the engine, making it use more fuel. Try to use the AC on low speed and the Fan/blower on high speed for better fuel efficiency. When driving at higher speeds, use the AC sparingly as open windows can create drag and reduce fuel efficiency.
So, these are the five main points for improving fuel efficiency. More tips and secrets are coming soon, stay tuned to this blog.
