How to Drive the 10th-Generation Civic for Better Fuel Efficiency?

[DeFelicity]

Here are methods to reduce fuel consumption for the 10th-generation Civic: 1. Enhance vehicle maintenance: The adjustment and maintenance of the car affect engine performance and driving resistance. Statistics show that poorly maintained engines can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Owners should regularly visit auto repair shops for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting brake pad and drum clearance, lubricating chassis points, timely oil changes, and filter inspections. 2. Avoid prolonged engine idling: Idling consumes significantly more fuel than normal driving. Therefore, if the vehicle is stationary for extended periods (e.g., waiting), it's best to turn off the engine. During cold starts, warm-up should not exceed 1 minute; maintaining low-speed driving for a few minutes is sufficient. 3. Minimize sudden braking and acceleration: Smooth and steady driving is most fuel-efficient. During acceleration, avoid stomping on the throttle—gradual acceleration is ideal. Once reaching a steady speed, maintain it as much as possible. In congested areas, anticipate road conditions to avoid sudden braking, which not only saves fuel but also extends vehicle lifespan. 4. Maintain an appropriate driving speed: Each car has an optimal fuel-efficient speed (typically 70–90 km/h for sedans, varying by model). At high speeds, resistance (mainly air resistance) increases dramatically.
