The reasons why private gas stations sell fuel cheaper: 1. Lower costs: Private gas stations are generally located in remote areas, with smaller land areas and fewer staff, resulting in lower operating costs. 2. Fewer customers: To attract customers, they increase discounts. 3. Different fuel sources: Regular gas stations have better quality fuel, naturally at higher prices; whereas private gas stations, to ensure profits, naturally look for ways to source fuel, such as from regional refineries, which naturally makes the fuel cheaper. However, long-term use of low-quality fuel can lead to rapid carbon buildup in the car, with increased fuel consumption and sluggish acceleration being the most common symptoms. 4. Small profits but quick turnover: Like selling other products, they adopt a strategy of small profits but quick turnover to maximize profits, a common method in economics; with lower prices, many car owners choose private gas stations to save a significant amount of money on a tank of fuel.

Should You Shift to Neutral at a Red Light in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Whether to shift to neutral at a red light in an automatic transmission car depends on different situations: 1. Shift to neutral if the red light lasts more than 30 seconds; 2. Simply press the brake if the red light lasts less than 30 seconds. An automatic transmission refers to a system where the driver does not need to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting gears; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. To move the gear lever out of P, the brake must be pressed; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears should only be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and result in damage.
