As a global catastrophe that may threaten humanity in the near future is the shortage of traditional energy resources, as it turned out, they are not infinite.
And so, today, nearly all global car manufacturers are trying to create alternative types of engines, such as, for example, electrical. And, until they became a full replacement for the internal combustion engine, the problem of transition to new fuels remains relevant, and along with it, remains an important question of their savings.
Development and sale of devices that allow to save gasoline or diesel fuel to date is one of the most promising and profitable occupation. Most recently, American researchers at Temple University have created a simple and inexpensive electrical device connected to benzoprovodu near the injector and battery powered battery.
The device creates an electric field that reduces the viscosity of the fuel entering the engine. Due to this the saving of fuel consumption by about 20%. Now scientists are working to ensure that the new device has become a universal and fit all makes of cars.
Last year, the engineers of international concern «Renault - Nissan» announced a new, patented their device - Intellectual pedal ECO Pedal, which monitors fuel consumption and, if the driver pushes too hard on the accelerator pushes the pedal in the opposite direction. Clever pedal saves gasoline by an average of 5-10%.
This implies that with the help of technological innovations, scientists today can achieve fuel savings of up to 20%. Another 20 - 25% will save drivers themselves, will wonder if such a purpose, and will observe a few simple rules and take them into the habit.
- Unload
Do not carry with them in a car unnecessary things. An old coat or boots, tools, sports equipment, buckets, boxes, etc. - All this is slowly but surely, "eats" excess gasoline. Keep in interior car and trunk only essentials: spare tire, first aid kit, fire extinguisher and warning sign.
- Reduce aerodynamic drag car
Take the trunk, if you do not need, as well as attachments for bikes or skis. During the ride, do not open without the need for windows and sunroof.
- Be sure to choose the most economical way
If you have to travel daily in the same place, take the time and measure the distance to it. If there is a choice which way to go, choose the shortest. Rectifiable turns wherever possible. At the same time chooses the flat road. Riding on the potholes and uneven results in the fact that the machine shakes, and the driver presses the gas pedal, even when he did not feel it. Avoid driving through puddles and over the sand.
If the road and the weather is good, more driving "coasting, turning off the transmission and using the inertia of the machine. Very good economy turns when driving on a traffic light to traffic light, selecting a starting speed to as little as possible to stop at red lights.
- Correctly select the desired program
Try to keep the engine speed does not exceed the mark of 2000 rpm. If you ask for, even in a city you can drive in fifth gear. Do not believe me? Did you try it! Just watch strap the generator, so that he was not weak.
Air Conditioning and a stove with a fan, "eat" an average of 15% fuel, and if rarely without them, then turn off the rear window is often overlooked, but it "eats" up to 5% gasoline.
- Keep the recommended tire pressure
In general, tire pressure should always be the object of your attention. If the ice, the pressure is reduced - to 1 and 5 atmospheres, is safer. If the road is good, keep the two atmospheric or slightly higher, so less wear. Increased pressure in the tires to 0.1 bar. saves fuel by 2-3%. Good economy gives the correct wheel balancing and regulated "collapse - toe.
- Do not drive too fast without the need for
A simple adherence to speed limits on the road reduces fuel consumption by 15%. The most economical speed is within the 50-80 km / h. Do not pick a place at the traffic lights, do not apply without the need for endless rebuilding the road.
- Take care of the engine,
correctly choose the engine oil. To save gasoline recommend semi-synthetics and synthetics, which have the lowest viscosity. But do not forget to consult a service station to do no harm. At the same time ask to recommend an additive in gasoline. If they choose wisely, you can save up to 25%. Keep fuel filters clean.
And finally, the most versatile board - drive less. If you can walk to the nearest store or pharmacy - do it. Constant presence behind the wheel loads the spine, relaxes the intestines and leads to excess weight. And the exhaust from cars contain many harmful toxic and carcinogenic components - from carbon monoxide to benzpyrene and soot that contains lead.
So always stay homo sapiens - Homo sapiens, to the best economical, reasonably athletic and have time to everything!
