Keeping Constant Speed And Adopting Small Care In The Car Can Significantly Reduce Fuel Consumption During Trips, Helping To Save Even With High Gasoline Prices

If you are going to travel and are already worried about the price of gasoline, the good news is that there is an ideal speed to save fuel during the journey. According to the General Traffic Directorate (DGT) of Spain, the ideal speed is 90 km/h on highways.

According to the DGT, if the driver opts for 120 km/h, fuel consumption can increase by about 30%. The explanation lies in the direct relationship between engine RPM and gasoline consumption. The higher the RPM, the more fuel is burned.

The portal Motor1, reported by ND+, highlights that the most important factor for saving is to maintain a constant speed.

Other Important Tips

In addition to speed, other tips can help save fuel. One of them is to drive with the windows closed. This reduces aerodynamic drag and the vehicle consumes less energy. Even with the air conditioning on, the usage will be lower than driving with the windows open at high speeds.

Another important guideline is to keep the car’s maintenance up to date. Regularly changing the oil, checking the cooling system, and inflating the tires are practices that ensure better performance and lower consumption.

Before starting the journey, it is advisable to wait 15 seconds before starting the engine, without accelerating. Avoiding sudden accelerations is also essential to saving gasoline.

With small changes in habits, it is possible to relieve a bit of the impact of fuel prices on your budget during trips.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

China has put millions of electric cars on the roads, but now faces the side effect: more than 1 million tons of batteries are expected to go out of use per year by 2030, while the government expands tracking and combats illegal dismantling with environmental risks.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.

To shorten a crossing that is currently done by sea from five hours to half an hour, the Philippines is building a 32-kilometer bridge over the water connecting the provinces of Bataan and Cavite.

With a length of 23.5 meters, a weight of 700 tons, and two engines totaling around 3,400 horsepower, the XCMG XE7000 excavator is the largest ever manufactured in China and has placed the country in the select group of nations capable of producing giants of this size for mining.

With a length of 1,410 meters, the largest bridge in Mato Grosso is being built over the Juruena River and has already reached 66% completion. It promises to replace a one-hour ferry crossing with a crossing of less than a minute between Cotriguaçu and Nova Bandeirantes.

Goodbye card in hand: Inter has launched wearable rings, bracelets, and watches that pay by proximity and promise to open doors and book hotels in the future, with the watch expected to arrive near Black Friday 2026, offering support for two currencies.
