Petrol Saving

Fellow Malaysians,

Since our goverment has increased the fuel price, lets stop rioting or complaining and instead,start thinking on how to save our fuel. Here's a few tips on how to save your petrol =)

Well first of all, as we all know acceleration consumes petrol right? Try to avoid high speeds on open roads. Which will also increase safety during travelling. For example accelerating from 90km/hour to 110km/hour on highways will increase fuel consumption by 25%.

The other thing that drivers love to do is leaving their engine on while waiting for someone. Idling the engine consumes more fuel rather then turning it off and on again. Waiting in the car while the engine is running is also dangerous deal to the chemical released by the car airconds. So while you are waiting for ur loved ones or simply your friends, turn off ur engine to save petrol and save the enviroment.

Using a thicker tire means more rolling resistance, hence consuming more petrol. But this also decreases the controling of the car, so its not very advisible for new drivers. Keeping ur tires pumped to its required pressure will also contribute in saving your fuel. Besides all that, keeping ur air filters clean also might help. Because when the air filters are clogged up, less airflow to the engine, thus it is harder for combustion.

If you follow all of these steps, i am very sure u will see results. And also try to avoid places with traffic, use the radio for traffic reports. There is nothing we cant achieve when we put our minds to it

Malaysia Boleh!!!!
