In this age of inflation, we are all worried about the rising price of petrol. The price of petrol has been rising day by day for the last two years. And in the year of 2021, the price of petrol has increased day by day. It looks like prices will rise slightly in the future. In this article I will tell you about some important points. By following these tips you can reduce your gasoline consumption. And without spending penny, petrol can run longer. It is important to know all of these tips in order to reduce your cost.

Why petrol is expensive:

Petrol prices will continue to rise as long as we import petrol in dollars. Whenever there is an increase in prices, it is not because of increase in taxes but because of increase in international prices. And the solution is that there is less reliance on gasoline and here’s a great way to reduce that. Most of the electricity we produce is generated with the help of petrol, the most expensive electricity we generate. And this has been going on for almost two decades. So if we want to reduce petrol prices, we must first find other sources of electricity generation.

How can I make petrol last longer:

Here are some key points: by following these you can run petrol for a long time without spending any money. I hope these points will reduce your expenses.

1. Gently brake and accelerate:

If you constantly take brakes and then increase speed, so you spend more petrol. And if maintain a constant speed, you consume less petrol. Because if you suddenly press the accelerator too hard, it will take more petrol.

2. Check the tires pressure:

It is also important to check the tire pressure if you are driving. Because if there is less air in the tires then petrol will also cost more. I suggest you that if you are driving a car regularly then check your tire pressure almost twice in month. You can check tire pressure using machines which available on many petrol pumps. If you cannot find a tire pressure checking machine, you can check tire pressure by a pressure gauge. (As shown in figure).

3. Keep consistency in speed:

If you are driving, you should keep in mind that you should your car speed consistent. Because if you change the speed of the car frequently and change the gears, it increases the fuel cost. According to KIA Company if you have a cruise control system in your car then it can decrease your petrol consumption by average of 15%. Therefore, as far as possible, do not change the gears of the vehicle frequently.

4. Check the weight of your vehicle:

If you are driving and have a lot of luggage in it, the heavy weight will also cost petrol, so to reduce the pressure on the Tyre, remove unnecessary luggage from the car and keep it to a minimum. This will save you a lot of petrol. And the less amount of luggage you put in your car will cost less petrol as well.

5 .Avoid idling:

Idling engine also consume a lot of petrol. If you are going on a road and there is a lot of traffic and you have to drive slowly then you should turn off the engine of your car and on the hand breaker. Because slow engine consume more petrol. So when driving, try not to let the engine slow down.

And keep that in mind for less gasoline use. Have your vehicle regularly maintained and serviced. Because when you don’t take care of your vehicle it will consume more petrol. If you want to save petrol then I will recommend that you should have the vehicle serviced according to a manufacturer’s guide about twice a week. And avoid taking your car to a muddy place, because when dust in the tire goes away, the car consume more petrol as well.

7.Drive in the right gear at all times:

To save gasoline in your car, the car must always be in the right gear. If you are driving too fast, you should have must keep gear also high, if you are driving at slow speed, gear also keep low? While driving, if your car is making a lot of noise while driving then you need to change the engine. Because if the engine of the car makes a lot of noise, then engine consume a lot of petrol. So change your car’s engine as soon as possible.

8 .Shut down windows of your vehicle:

If you open the windows during driving, it also consume more petrol. Because keep the windows open increase the drag on the car and wind resistance is created. It doesn’t matter if your car is parked somewhere and its windows are open .but if you are driving at 40 miles per hour, I recommend that you keep the windows closed.

9 . Park vehicle in the shade:

If you park your car in the sun, so it takes a while for your car to start. If you park car in a shaded area. Then it doesn’t take much effort to cool the inside of the air conditioning. That’s why you should always park your car in a shady place instead of sunlight, so that the car start quickly and use less petrol as well.

Remove the racks, when you are not using them. Aerodynamic drag can consume much petrol as 20% on the road.

Drive-in speed limit:

When you driving always keep in speed limit. Because , the faster you drive, the worse your petrol consumption will be. Always follow the speed limit according to your path.

What is the key to achieving better fuel economy?

When you drive fast your petrol cost also increases, so always keep speed reasonable. As government policy, always driving at the speed of 50 MPH (miles per hour) instead of 70 MPH (miles per hour).

It is better to have a full tank of petrol?

Extra petrol in a petrol tank can cause rust so less petrol is better. Because empty space in the vehicle tank causes evaporation through the tank ventilation system.

What causes a vehicle use more fuel?

Here are three main reasons of a vehicle uses more petrol.

1) Driving too fast

2) Accelerating too quickly

3) Stopping vehicle suddenly
