Savings While You Drive Tips

Savings While You Drive Tips

True or False,  when you are driving at full speed-upto 60-80miles per hour, use air-conditioning system for ⛽ economy or savings on fuel.

Well,  can you drive with your windows up and Ac off? then you will have much more savings.

Have you ever put your hand out of the window, while the vehicle is on top speed, remember the wind pressure pulling your hand backward?

That is exactly what the back wind screen of the vehicle would do when your windows are down at top speed.

Your vehicle will be exerting more energy to create movement against weight of the vehicle and negative air pressure caused by the windows open.

That wind pressure can actually bring the car speed down if allowed and to a halt.

When your windows are up, the manufacturers of vehicles have designed body shapes to minimize the effect of the wind pressure,  but that is compromised when windows are down.

If you could drive with windows up and Ac off,  it could only result in much more savings, but if you can't, windows down at top speed is a ⛽ gulper.

For fuel efficiency, windows up at top speed and use ac for comfort,  inflate tyres to recommended pressure, buy gas from trusted stations, don't overload culturally, and service your engine as at when due and use recommended engine oil.

..and pleeeeeese don't ask me if I follow all these rules...
