The expert gave motorists several tips that will help reduce fuel costs during the summer.
Economist and member of the expert council of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets Stanislav Paulauskas shared a comment on this matter.
In a conversation with NEWS.ru, he named the main ways to reduce fuel consumption in the summer.
Driving style
Abrupt starts and stops, frequent gear changes and high engine speeds lead to higher fuel consumption.
The expert advises choosing a calm driving style at a certain speed without abrupt maneuvers. Paulauskas also reminded that at a speed of 90+ km/h, more fuel is consumed.
Technical aspects
First of all, you need to monitor the tire pressure. If it is insufficient, the rolling resistance increases. This leads to increased fuel consumption.
The condition of the brakes and brake pads also plays a role in this case. Their wear increases resistance.
In addition, filters, spark plugs, oils and other fluids should be changed in a timely manner.
It is also worth remembering that using the air conditioner also affects fuel consumption. The expert advises not to turn it on at full power and only during the hottest hours.
