They arrive weeks of tightening the belt, also in the car, and not precisely the safety one. Going up the slope of January can be easier by car if you follow a series of tips that Norauto has collected. Although it seems obvious, the best way to save and pollute less is to perform efficient driving . You must drive on long gears, do not give accelerations or braking and make a smooth and foresight operation. The ideal is to change the gear between 1,500 and 2,000 revolutions in diesel cars and between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm in gasoline-powered cars.

It also helps not to overload the vehicle , as well as to place the load properly. Poor placement affects stability and consumption. To save as much as possible, it is recommended to use the air conditioner when going at high speeds because of its lower consumption and bring the windows down only when going at a reduced speed. These tips can also be applied to electric or alternative vehicles. In fact, excessive use of the air conditioner r can greatly reduce the autonomy of the vehicle.

Travel planning and forecasting are key. In this way, you avoid stopping, starting, accelerating and braking constantly. It is important to turn off the engine if the retention is prolonged, although there are already vehicles with 'Start & Stop' systems that automatically regulate this. In this line, in terms of travel savings and greater efficiency, it is advisable to fill the fuel tank on each trip to the gas station. Less displacement and, therefore, less consumption. There are different applications that help to cope with this task. There are routes in which the car may not be necessary, being able to use other means such as public transport or electric bicycles, especially useful in urban journeys.

The tire pressure and its condition must be checked frequently. Manufacturers indicate the correct pressure and everything will depend on the load with which it circulates. In this way, it consumes less and the tire also wears to a lesser extent. Also check the condition and fluid levels . With a good review of the oil it is avoided that it degrades and causes an engine breakdown that involves a great cost. The same goes for antifreeze, especially in winter. The brake fluid must also be checked. If the braking system works correctly we will avoid problems in braking and possible blows.

Check all the elements of the car from time to time, even those that are not used frequently, such as winter air conditioning. Keep in mind that many systems can be damaged by not using them. To this we must add that, for example, a bad air filter can multiply the consumption of a car by two. In the face of the smallest symptom of failure, it is important to take the car to the workshop. Keep in mind that a small breakdown can lead to a larger one if it is not resolved in time or if it continues to circulate with it. An example is found in the loss of antifreeze . If it is not solved, it can cause the engine to overheat, thus causing a breakdown in the head gasket. In this way, the final repair cost would be much higher.
