Frequent shifting of automatic transmissions into N and D gears can save fuel.

The current oil price is rising day by day, especially for owners of automatic transmission cars. The already high fuel consumption has brought them more fuel consumption expenses than owners of manual transmission cars. In addition to worrying about gas costs, more and more car owners are beginning to be careful about the fuel efficiency of their cars. The car owner, Lao Luo, went on a self-driving trip with a group of car friends during the May Day holiday. After returning from the trip, several car owners calculated their gas prices and found that they were also driving automatic cars, but Lao Luo was more expensive than them. Saved a lot of gas money. When asked about the reason, Lao Luo readily told everyone the fuel-saving tips he had summed up.

Changing "N" gear and "D" gear frequently Lao Luo tells everyone that generally speaking, it is true that automatic transmission cars consume more fuel than manual transmission cars, but the same automatic transmission cars will also Fuel consumption varies depending on individual driving habits, and sometimes the difference is quite large. To put it simply, in the past, when I was worried about trouble when waiting for a long time at a red light, traffic jam or waiting for someone, I would step on the brake and keep the gear in the "D" gear. When I needed to start, I would just step on the accelerator and go. Yes, in fact it is convenient to do so, but it increases fuel consumption unnecessarily. Now, no matter what the situation is when parking, if you wait for more than 1 minute, put the gear in the "N" gear. This can not only reduce fuel consumption, but also avoid overheating of the transmission oil, thereby protecting the transmission. If the parking time exceeds 3 minutes, it is best to hang it in "P" gear, which saves fuel and is environmentally friendly. Lao Luo told everyone that he has been implementing this approach during his self-driving tour, and the results have been remarkable. Cars also need to be "burdened". Lao Luo heard an expert say that every 5 kilograms of weight a car increases will consume 1% more gasoline. Therefore, before setting off on this self-driving trip, Lao Luo carefully selected the equipment he needed and tried his best to choose "lightweight" equipment. Along the way, everything that has been used and can be disposed of will be "rushed" off the car without mercy. Usually, try not to store things that are not used daily in the trunk. In this way, the weight of the car is reduced, which naturally saves fuel consumption. Maintain standard tire pressure Pay attention to ensure normal tire pressure. Lao Luo told everyone that he usually carries a pressure gauge and checks the tire pressure of his car every now and then, because tire pressure that is too high or too low will increase the car's fuel consumption, and what is even more dangerous is that tire pressure that is too low will increase the car's fuel consumption. Pressure is more likely to cause a tire blowout. In addition, Lao Luo also told everyone that abnormal wheel alignment will consume gasoline for no reason, so before setting off on this self-driving trip, he also went to do a four-wheel alignment on the car, which not only ensured the safety of the trip, but also was effective. Reduced fuel consumption significantly.
