Ways to save fuel

As fuel costs continue to rise and fall globally, one can argue that owning and maintaining a car is not that easy. In addition to repair and service maintenance costs, you must set a fuel budget anyway. As long as you have your car, this fee will always exist. That's why people are now more actively looking for ways to reduce car operating expenses. An effective way for us to save on gasoline costs while reducing the need to deplete more fuel resources is IDLE REDUCTION. According to experts, this practice of reducing the unnecessary time of the engine brings many benefits, such as cost savings, pollution reduction, and noise reduction. When we let our vehicles idle. We let the engine run out of more fuel and eventually make them wear faster. In fact, in the United States alone, more than 6 billion gallons of diesel and gasoline are consumed, not even moving. Passenger vehicles waste half of the fuel.

Fortunately, we can do a lot of things to reduce idling without affecting our driving comfort or travel plans.

Sadly, light fleet drivers and passenger car owners have become accustomed to idle vehicles for a variety of reasons; not because they don’t know its shortcomings and harmful effects, but because sometimes they are concentrating on their busy and complicated lives. Even care about idle time, increasing emissions and wasting fuel is too much for them. Increase their daily responsibilities. Idle speed usually happens to you when:

There are only two things that can help reduce the idle speed of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles: changing driving behaviour and using advanced technology.

Change your driving habits.

It should be common sense that the main idle reduction strategy is to turn off the engine when parking or when we know that we are parking for a few minutes. But since most of us are too stubborn to follow this simple rule, we've only listed more specific tips to reaffirm and help you develop the habit of turning off your vehicle unless traffic is heavy:

Follow the signs that tell you that you are in a no-free area (eg school, office building, etc.)

Avoid buying straight food. Park and exchange for food.

Although they are very convenient, please avoid using remote starters for high-tech cars. They really encourage unnecessary idling.

If you are catching people and you are early, look for a nice parking space and wait for that person somewhere outside the car.

Even if you know that your errand takes only 1-2 minutes, don't let your car engine turn on. Park it somewhere and go back.

Avoid doing unnecessary things in the car, such as makeup, eating, sending emails or doing work - this will let you stop your car somewhere (when it's turned on) so you can do it easily. If you really have to, turn off the engine.

Finally, you can consider buying an eco-friendly/electric vehicle or a car with an automatic start/stop technology.

Investment in modern idling reduction technology

Fortunately, advanced technology and systems are available to help ordinary passenger cars reduce idle speed. Some of them are:

1. Auxiliary Power Systems - They provide heating, cooling and power to electronics even when they are not required to run a car engine. They are actually used in police cars now. These systems can be powered by lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries and are charged while using a car engine while driving.
2. Air Heater - For drivers/owners of taxis and limousines that often need to be idle, because the passenger compartment is warm during the cold season, they no longer need to be idle. They may consider using these air heaters. They use very small amounts of fuel to operate.
3. Automatic Power Management System - These systems allow the driver to turn off the car's engine and use the HVAC system with battery power without compromising passenger comfort. Even if they run out of battery power, they won't actually drain your battery. The battery is monitored when the engine is turned off. When it detects that your battery status is below the recommended level. It will automatically restart your engine until your battery uses it again.
4. Waste Heat Recovery System - Another system that keeps your drivers and passengers warm is to invest in this technology. It uses the vehicle's heat transfer system. The small electric pump connected to the water pipe keeps the cooling and heating system running even after the engine is turned off. In short, the energy recovery system keeps the passenger compartment warm.

In fact, you can invest in a wider variety of additional car systems so you can reduce idling. Just research and find a product that truly fits your driving habits and budget.

Even if you try to reduce idling, is your car just wasting more fuel? Then maybe it is no longer yours - this is your car. You may overlook the fact that your car is too old and damaged. This is why it is no longer fuel efficient. If this is the case, let us quickly disassemble the car and take it away from the hand.
