10 commandments of economical driving

1. Harsh accelerations are expensive, most often resulting in harsh braking, which is also not free. 2. If you know that a red light is about to turn on at an intersection, take your foot off the gas pedal.

1. Harsh accelerations are expensive, most often resulting in harsh braking, which is also not free.

2. If you know that a red light is about to turn on at an intersection, take your foot off the gas pedal. Hurry to the intersection where you have to stop - you will save not only fuel, but also brakes.

3. Don't use your car to find cigarettes at the kiosk around the corner. It is more useful to follow them with your own feet.

4. People who drive at high speed do not need to get to their destination faster. On busy roads, choose an economical speed. You will find that those ahead of you have not gone very far. You will meet them after a few kilometers, blocked by long columns of cars.

5. Instead of the main but busy route, choose a side road, not crowded. Driving at a constant speed is more economical than constantly braking and accelerating on busy roads.

6. Choose roads with the best coverage whenever possible, even if you have to add a few kilometers. Poor road surfaces increase fuel consumption.

7. Keep a good distance from the car in front so you don't have to brake from time to time. In general, check to see if you are not braking unnecessarily out of ignorance, which happens to many drivers for whom the traffic situation is incomprehensible. Every, even the slightest braking is a waste of a few drops of fuel. If someone brakes every minute, these drops turn into liters.

8. If the manual says to fill in 95 gasoline, do not take the more expensive one. Nothing better. She is different. You pay more but get nothing in return.

9. Accelerate downhill to get uphill. If you need to overtake a car in mountainous terrain, do it on the downhill, not on the entrance - it's cheaper and safer.

10. Try to drive in direct gear close to the engine speed at which it produces maximum torque.

Attention. To save fuel, do not interfere with other road users. In other words, don't overdo it or you'll become a hated troublemaker.
