Given the constant change in gasoline prices in Spain, the best way to save a few euros is to make better use of fuel and not necessarily to give up the car.
The General Directorate of Transit (DGT) offers a series of tips to reduce gasoline consumption while driving. This is a series of recommendations that can save you up to 500 euros per year. In addition, you reduce emissions and extend the useful life of the vehicle and many of its components.
long marches
The first piece of advice from the DGT is: drive in as long gears as possible and be sure to observe the speed limits.
Current engines – he explains – enable and respond well even when we drive in high gears at very low speeds, with the engine being very relaxed and consuming minimal.
In this sense, it is strongly recommended not to rush the low gears, unless we start on a very steep slope and assume that before reaching 50 km / h we should already have engaged 4th or 5th gear.
If you are returning to the city and the car does not have the start/stop system, it is strongly recommended to turn off the engine when it is at 50km/h and we should already be in 4th or 5th gear.
Anticipation
The DGT assures that between 30 and 50% of fuel consumption depends on the owner’s driving style, which is why it is necessary to follow some guidelines.
For example, if you drive at a moderate and constant speed, without ups and downs or constant changes of pace, and maintain a safe distance, you can drive at a constant speed without having to pay attention to the brakes.
When leaving a traffic light, accelerate and shift gears gradually to take advantage of the best engine performance. Otherwise you’ll reach the next traffic light a few seconds before the rest, but you’ll use three times as much.
Another recommendation is to anticipate and stop accelerating when you see a car, truck or bus in the distance that is moving slower, using inertia to arrive without consuming fuel.
This is much better than continuing to accelerate until you catch up with the vehicle in front of you, braking, and then later returning to the speed that requires the engine to rev up again, which incurs costs.
If you look ahead, you not only save fuel, but also brake pads.
The trunk and the air conditioning
Another point that the DGT lists and that many people are not aware of is the correct use of the trunk and the air conditioning.
For example, if the air conditioning is turned on when not needed, consumption increases by 10 to 20%. Therefore, the use must be optimized and of course the windows must remain closed while on the move.
Anything that affects the aerodynamics of a vehicle is inevitably associated with higher fuel consumption.
With that in mind, the trunk is key. Exceeding the weight limit in the trunk of the car can lead to increased fuel consumption due to the changed aerodynamics of the vehicle.
It is common to use the trunk to store unnecessary items that are not needed while driving, resulting in excess weight and therefore greater energy expenditure.
It is also important not to place any luggage in the rear seats as this can obscure the driver’s view in the rearview mirror.
And the Spanish motorist tends to turn the trunk of his vehicle into a kind of storage room in which everything you can imagine can fit and in reality very few things are necessary these days.
The tires
Tires are also important when it comes to reducing your vehicle’s fuel consumption.
The DGT recommends maintaining sufficient tire pressure, which many drivers ignore.
If you drive your car at a pressure just 0.5 bar below the manufacturer’s recommended value, gasoline consumption could increase by 2% in urban areas and 4% in interurban areas.
In addition, it must be taken into account that when driving with a heavy load, this pressure must be increased using the manufacturer’s information indicated on the tank cap or on the door frame.
If this is not done, not only will consumption increase, but tire wear will also increase, meaning the tire will have to be replaced sooner.
And since we are talking about tires, almost all brands have a type of rubber with very low rolling resistance, ideal for reducing consumption by up to 3%, at a price very similar to that of normal tires.
