save petrol against the high-rise fuel prices??

Assalammualaikum everyone... why I posted this?. You might think that this is not much of use in daily life, but I want to share this with you all. The economy of the world is not stable, so do the fuel prices too? That's why I wanted to give a simple advice about this.

When you have a car or any other vehicles to drive, especially when using the high displacement vehicles, just do remember to do this. If you follow the steps below, it may save a little of your fuel usage.

1. Plan your journey – I know this might be a difficult to do, but if you have planned regularly, that would not be a big problem for you. If we don't plan it first, we would have no idea to go isn't it? So, if we don't plan it wisely, we would end up using more fuel as well.

2. Car pooling – Hmm... I think you also can take a taxi, but why want to waste money on a taxi ride?. That is so expensive.

3. Idling engine, running fuel – Usually when we park somewhere we would just leaveSo, imagine, when we leave it idle for about an hour, how much fuel will be liberated? We must turn off the engine and get out of the car to get fresh air for a while before going into the car.

4. Pump the tires – if we just drive the vehicle without inflating the tire, it will waste more fuel as well. So, inflate the tires to the specified tires to increase the efficiency of fuel usage in vehicles.

5. Drive smoothly – Sometimes, we didn’t realize about driving smoothly or not. We just accelerate and brake suddenly. Actually, by accelerating or braking suddenly, it can waste your fuel easily. So, it is best to accelerate slightly slower rather than accelerating much faster for the need for speed of the driving.

6. Wind up the windows while driving – This is a trick I suppose. Most of the people, like to wind down and turn off the air-cond just to save fuel. Actually, it doesn’t work out to save the fuel, but it caused the vehicle to use more of the fuel. This is because there will be air friction acting towards the inner part of the car. This means, more fuel consumption. So, just wind up the windows just for the sake of saving the fuel if the air-cond is fully functional.

7. Fill the petrol during the night – Another trick that I can share with you I guess. My friend told me this long time ago, and this worked out to be true when it comes to physics. When we fill the petrol during the day, the temperature of the environment will be hot right? If the temperature is slightly higher, then, the density of the petrol kept in the tank will be slightly higher. So, the volume of the petrol would increase as well. Why not give it a try by filling the petrol at night so that we can save the fuel even more?

That’s all I can share with you. Hope that these practices would be more useful in saving the fuel especially in the economic crisis.
