I'm in the difficult situation of being the one hand, rely on my car and on the other hand, hate the oil industry deeply (not just BP-man does not even dig so deep to even with To find the other oil companies big environmental mess. Oil is dirty, that's what it is. A real alternative for the car there is not even electric car and Co. are too immature a lot. So I have the internet compiled tips for saving gasoline and June enforced. I originally went out of it, that success would be more so in the category "meant well" ... but nil, which has in fact actually worth. From January to May, I had 160-180 € a month-fuel costs in June, it was just € 115 which is one third less!
- was driving fuel-saving for me first: keep to speed limits. Although I am not gebrettert previously 80 by a 30-game road but well, I would describe my style as "permissive". With my new deference to authority (a bumpy word) Order I am indeed a more typically on the right track, I should but sometimes start to overtake, I am frequently in the pleasure of the Benz-driver who tried to park just a red head in my trunk in the rear view mirror waving friendly (but these contemporaries have even stuck to my tail when I'm driving faster than allowed, so not really something new).
- The following tip I got from the manual of my car: apparently you can save well over 25% when the gas pedal when accelerating not fully suppressed. Is logical, the more one passes through the pedal, the more fuel is pumped into the engine. With the acceleration of my car, it is not always Sun far away-it actually makes almost no difference if I give full or half gas. And since you can not expect from an Ibiza anyway, provided it is only green leaves a cloud of dust that is totally okay. If I only a 25% increase fuel consumption saved, dare I even doubt, but it also does not hurt for sure.
- turning up the past. Not out of hell-bent on speed-will be straight, a higher gear "strenuous" for the car, more fuel is consumed. If you drive a constant 50 but it is not an issue, shift up in the fourth.
- tire: are the old slippers by, specifically for tires with low rolling resistance . Ask In the interest of personal safety in doubt, access to more brands, even if they are slightly more expensive low-friction tires may not be at the expense of a good wet braking.
- is also helpful to drive, foresight. If you will notice that the lights on in 200 meters straight to red, then it does nothing to speed up large. And then only to slow even more, the same is true for storage ends and similar obstacles.
- topic idle: you can not make sweeping statements that we should want every opportunity arise in the short run. In a gradient, where you can keep the idle speed, or when a red Traffic lights towards rolling out, it makes sense. However, you should leave the course with a stronger gradient in it, thanks to protect the engine brake pads can be: at idle rolling downhill fast car takes to drive and must be slowed down, gone is the fuel-saving effect.
- Air Conditioning: Turn down if possible or make up altogether. 21 ° out of cool to go in blazing 35 ° takes the body a potentially bad, not to mention the fuel consumption (up to 2 extra liters / 100 km). Anyway I have no air conditioning and get along so well all-clear to me is hot, but it makes you car windows to withstand even the good.
Apart from the fact that it is necessary for the gas station less often, these modes of operation have the nice side effect that they pollute the engine far less than normal. Anticipate traffic = less brakes = good for the brake pads. Previously upshift = motor is running at low speed = motor requires less and lasts longer.
I was convinced it would annoy me a car to drive like this in Zuckeltanten Plüschtierbevölkertem Corsa, but the opposite was the case: I think it's more relaxed. (Stuffed animals come to me still not in your car!). On my standard range of 25 kilometers, I am-if 's high-come-perhaps 1 - 2 minutes later into the goal that I can get over completely. Through my obedience to the law I need the road not to search for Lightning also somehow very relaxing. But mostly I notice it quite radically when refueling: I had to fill up before every 2 weeks, now it tends to be more every 3 weeks. 30% fuel savings, not bad.
