To save energy when driving, and therefore money, there are simple tips that work every time: universal tips that are easy to apply and that promote efficiency. One of the most important, although it is one of the least applied, refers to the contact points of the vehicles with the ground. And it is that forgetting to check the pressures of the wheels can have a very pernicious effect on energy consumption. In addition, if you opt for tires with a low rolling resistance index, you reduce spending.
Anticipating traffic reactions is another vital factor when seeking excellence in terms of efficient driving. At a traffic light that changes light, you have to stop accelerating and subtly take advantage of the engine brake to reduce speed, a driving style that is also advisable when driving in a caravan or when approaching a curve. Avoiding sudden accelerations and impetuous braking are infallible recommendations to reduce the energy bill.
It is also important to be aware that energy expenditure is directly related to the weight of the vehicle and it is best to move without carrying permanent useless cargo in the trunk. Likewise, ensuring aerodynamic efficiency is another of the secrets.
It is best to dispense with external rack accessories whenever possible, in addition to traveling with the windows and sunroofs closed to reduce wind resistance. If these factors are applied, the improvement in consumption achieved is surprising.
