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.

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.
