How to save fuel in a car: drivers were told about a trick on the road
Saving fuel is important for two reasons at once: reducing expenses from the family budget and reducing harmful emissions. One of the non-obvious life hacks to save gasoline is to drive properly through speed bumps.
According to the Express, this obstacle, which makes traffic in the city safer, is considered to be the cause of increased consumption. However, there is a technique that allows drivers to optimize fuel consumption when driving on roads with such obstacles. And this is driving at a constant speed.
Accelerating and decelerating while driving a car can lead to an increase in fuel consumption. This, of course, includes driving through speed bumps. However, if you can organize your driving in such a way that you drive at a constant speed and avoid accelerating or decelerating too often between such obstacles, the problem will disappear. Therefore, slower driving in the city, where speed bumps are quite common, can be good for your wallet.
Motorists were also reminded to turn off the engine whenever possible. For example, this can be done in dense traffic, traffic jams, or while waiting at a traffic light. Some new cars are equipped with a stop-start system that does this automatically.
