You want to save fuel improving your driving?
We have a very simple trick to consume less gasoline.
Often misunderstood, the fact of using the engine brake instead of neutral saves money by consuming less fuel.
But it will also help you gain security.
Here we explain why. Watch:
1. In summary, on descents, if I need to slow down, I downshift.
2. Otherwise I just release the accelerator pedal .
There you go, you know how to save money by using less gas :-)
Simple, practical and effective!
This reflex is easy to take.
And it will save you money through fuel savings. So why deprive yourself of it?
It is the fact of using the engine of the car to make it slow down.
The brake pedal is not used.
So to slow down without braking, we use a lower gear to slow down the engine and the car.
We pass for example the 3rd instead of the 4th.
The vast majority of cars under 10 years old are equipped with an injection engine.
This type of engine automatically cuts off the fuel supply when the engine brake is used.
On the other hand, by disengaging the clutch in neutral, the engine maintains a supply of fuel to run even at idle.
Despite what you might think, neutral on recent cars does not save gas.
On the other hand, whenever I can use the engine brake , downhill for example, I save precious euros at the pump by consuming less fuel!
In addition, I save money on the brakes, by wearing them less. It's good for my purchasing power!
You'll go to the gas pump less often.
