While buying a car many times, this question has been asked Kitna deti hai? Yes, the buyer is concerned about the fuel economy because of the high fuel prices increasing every day. Since the fuel economy depends mainly on the engine size and the car size, another factor helps in extracting better mileage from your car. It is how you drive the important vehicle! So in this article, we give you some tips on how to increase the fuel economy of your car.
We are maintaining the correct tyre pressure.
As it turns out, maintaining the recommended tyre pressure brings a lot of difference in your car's average. Reduced air pressure increases the contact between the tyre and road, which further increases the friction of both. This accounts for higher fuel consumption. If the tyre pressure is over the limit, it will burn the fuel less but is an invitation to tyre blowout, and the grip is not evened out. So, go with the recommended list and increase the total efficiency of your car.

Servicing your car
Do we even need to say this? Often, we skip the service schedule to save some quick bucks but think of the long run as it will only hamper your car. Also, one needs to check the coolant and engine oil level once every two weeks for smooth running. In the service, check if the oil filter, air filter, fuel filter or AC filter needs a replacement or just a check-up. These filters also account for increasing your car's fuel efficiency and offer good figures.
Keep the car light
Please do not overload your car or stuff it with unnecessary weights, which can be avoided. Keep the boot space empty and even keep the spare wheel at home when driving in the city. As they say, the heavier the car, the greater will be the thirst. So, GO LIGHT!
Drive in the right gear
Driving your car in the right gear with the right rpm level is one top priority. Shift to the highest gear without knocking the engine as accelerating the vehicle with low loads return low mileage. If you are driving an automatic, shift to the manual mode to save fuel and money.

Roll up the windows
Your car is aerodynamically designed, so its your concern to drive the vehicle in that way. While cruising at high speeds, lets say above 80 km/h, roll up your windows as it helps in increasing fuel efficiency.
Yes, at higher speeds rolling up your windows and turning the air conditioner on will save you more fuel than rolling the windows down.
Say No To Idling
Keeping your car with the engine turned on for more than a minute increases the fuel consumption. A vehicle with auto start-stop technology helps where the traffic is the main issue.
Plan the day
If you are out shopping, instead of taking two trips, make a list of to-do things and complete the task. Also, avoid taking your car out for a shorter distance like 7 to 8 km and instead use public transport.
