With less euros, more kilometers

The price of gasoline has reached 1,7 euro per liter, has made many drive economically, or avoiding overtaking, or by throwing the "forgotten" weight from the luggage compartment.
Certainly, there are several ways we can save some amount of fuel, while at the same time polluting the environment less. We will tell you some ways that you will save some money from your pocket.

Constant speeds
The driver must maintain as constant speeds as possible and avoid sudden accelerations, as well as the slowdowns. also, it is good to know at which rotation rates the torque of the car engine reaches the maximum value, so as to ensure that it does not stray from this range.

Unnecessary weight
In case we are transporting heavy objects (tools) in the trunk of our car, which we do not need immediately, it will be good to get rid of them. This extra weight puts a strain on the engine, causing it to use more fuel.


Roof racks
The roof rack, in case it is not used, it should be removed. The resistance it presents burdens the aerodynamic coefficient of the car, with the result that “it's tiring” the engine, increasing fuel consumption by a percentage.
