With the increase of vehicle mileage, dust and pollutants in the air accumulate more and more on the three filters (air filter, oil filter and gasoline filter). Timely maintenance can prevent pollutants from entering the engine and oil system and improve fuel efficiency.
Check the tire pressure regularly, and the normal tire pressure value can help the tire maintain a proper friction coefficient, which not only can reduce the power burden, but also is an important guarantee for driving safety.
Therefore, no matter how busy you are at work, you must take time to go to the store for vehicle maintenance according to the prescribed maintenance mileage.
The second measure is to reduce the sundries in the car and slim down the car.
An automobile engineer was quoted as saying, "It is better to reduce the weight of the car 10 kg if the engine power is increased by 5kW". It can be seen that the influence of body load on dynamic performance. You might as well clean up the sundries accumulated in the trunk for a long time regularly to keep your car light.
Third, when you need to stop for a long time, please turn off the engine.
The idle time in neutral cannot be too long. Keeping the engine running at low speed at idle speed not only consumes oil, but also tends to form carbon deposit, which reduces the combustion efficiency of the engine and even causes engine idling instability and knocking.
The fourth measure is to predict the road conditions and make a smooth transition of the throttle brake.
Urban roads are becoming more and more crowded, and the accelerator and brakes are frequently stepped on, which not only makes drivers tired, but also makes fuel consumption soar. The best solution is to keep a safe distance from the car in front as far as possible, slowly refuel and brake, and by observing the changes of traffic lights, brake early or release the throttle to avoid rushing between the throttle and the brake. Not only saves fuel costs, but also makes your driving easier.
Fifth, choose the right shift timing.
For manual transmission vehicles, it is particularly important to choose the appropriate shift timing. Take Focus as an example, the shift between 2000-2500 rpm is the smoothest. When going uphill or accelerating, downshifting can provide more power and less fuel consumption than stepping on the accelerator deeply.
For automatic transmission models, due to the high intelligence of Ford Durashift gearbox, mild fuel supply is the most fuel-efficient. When the torque needs to be increased, downshifting the automatic manual transmission can also achieve the effect of saving fuel and improving power output.
Sixth, the speed should not be too high.
According to a large number of test results, the fuel consumption of Fox is the lowest at the speed of 90KM/H, and it is not that the faster the speed is, the more fuel is saved. Especially when the speed exceeds 120km/h, the significant increase of wind resistance has obvious influence on fuel consumption.
Seventh, please close the window when driving in expressway.

When the speed exceeds 80 kilometers, the resistance caused by opening the window is greater than the cost of closing the window and turning on the air conditioner. Therefore, in addition to the need to open the window for air, it is advisable to close the window when running at high speed.
Eighth move, avoid sliding in the air.
No matter for manual or automatic transmission, neutral taxiing is not only not fuel efficient, but also extremely dangerous! Especially on the downhill section, the speed of neutral sliding is easily out of control because there is no constraint of power system. Downhill neutral sliding is often accompanied by the driver stepping on the brake pedal for a long time, which easily leads to overheating of the brake pads and reduced braking efficiency.
The most reasonable way is to put the car into a low gear when going downhill. When you release the throttle, you can still keep the car running at a constant speed with the help of the power system. With the advanced intelligent adjustment function of Ford Durashift manual transmission, the fuel consumption is almost zero when the accelerator pedal is completely released.
