Fuel costs. How to limit them?

When buying a car, we often look for ways to save money. One of them is changing the fuel we use to power the car.

Installing gas in the car

A popular savings method is to change the fuel we use to power our car. Gas is cheaper than gasoline. Service specialists will easily install a gas cylinder in most cars. However, this solution is especially advantageous for people who often travel long distances. The cost of installing a cylinder can vary from about 2,5 thousand to 5 zł, depending on the car. The payback of such investments usually occurs after driving from 8 to 12 thousand. km.

Eco-driving - what is it?

Another way to make driving cheaper is to drive eco-driving. To use the car cheaper, you need to use the principles of eco-driving. They involve, above all, a more intelligent use of the accelerator and brake pedals and gears. Do not press the gas all the way, and for long periods of parking, turn off the engine completely. Experts emphasize that even using the air conditioner at full capacity can be detrimental to our wallet.

In addition, it is always worth checking the condition of the car parts regularly - worn out spark plugs or an air filter can also contribute to increased gas mileage.

General trips

Consider the trend known as car sharing. This is nothing but joint travel and sharing of travel costs. For this, special applications for smartphones and Internet portals are used. Assuming that the driver is traveling alone and has 3 free seats in the car, his trip will be 75% cheaper after sharing the costs, says Adam Tychmanowicz, creator of the carpool app. Janosik AutoStop.

Of course, the ideal solution would be a combination of all three of the above methods.
