How to Save Fuel in a Car?

Avoid sudden braking while driving, as it not only increases fuel consumption but also causes greater wear on brake pads, leading to higher vehicle maintenance costs. When the vehicle is coasting in neutral gear, the car's computer will interpret it as an idling state, which wastes a significant amount of fuel.

I've been driving for over a decade and have figured out quite a few tricks to save fuel. The key is maintaining smooth driving habits, like gently pressing the accelerator when speeding up and anticipating deceleration when braking. On highways, try to maintain a speed of around 100 km/h, as going too fast consumes more fuel. If waiting at a red light for a long time, turn off the engine; for short waits, just turn off the air conditioning. Also, reduce unnecessary weight—don't keep heavy items in the trunk as it affects fuel consumption. Using engine braking is another technique, and for manual transmissions, shifting gears appropriately saves power. By sticking to these methods, I save one to two hundred yuan on fuel each month, reduce wear and tear on the car, drive more safely, and contribute to environmental protection by lowering emissions.
