What Are the Tips When a Car Runs Out of Gas?

[JuniperFitz]

Here are some tips when a car runs out of gas: Turn off unnecessary devices: The first thing to do is to turn off devices such as the car charger, air conditioning, radio, navigation, and music in the car. These devices actually consume a significant amount of power, and turning them off can reduce fuel consumption. Reduce braking and avoid driving at low speeds: Braking itself doesn’t consume much fuel, but slowing down and then speeding up again does. Driving at very low speeds is similar to idling, and idling is highly fuel-inefficient. Drive at the most fuel-efficient speed: The so-called fuel-efficient speed refers to maintaining a speed of 90 km/h when driving on highways, and 60 km/h on regular roads while complying with traffic rules. However, there should be some flexibility. For example, cars with smaller engine displacements will have a lower most fuel-efficient speed compared to standard-displacement models, while cars with larger displacements will have a slightly higher most fuel-efficient speed. Keep the windows closed: When driving at the fuel-efficient speed, opening the windows will undoubtedly increase wind resistance. Greater wind resistance means the car is more affected by air resistance, requiring more power and thus consuming more fuel. It’s best to keep the windows closed and use the air conditioning moderately to ensure proper air circulation inside the car.
