Car will give 20% more mileage in winter, follow these tricks while driving

Car Mileage Tips: In winter, the mileage of your old or new car usually decreases. The reason is the increase in fuel consumption in winter because due to many reasons during the winter season, your car starts drinking more fuel. The reasons behind the engine cooling, accumulation of engine oil, battery not working properly, etc. are involved behind this. However, if you want to maintain the mileage of the car during the winter season, then today we are going to give you some strong tips to do so. By following these tips, you can improve mileage by about 20%.

1. Do not run the engine for a long time (avoid idling)

In winter, people keep the engine on for a long time to warm up the car. No need to heat the car for a long time. Start driving in a minute or two, because driving heats up the engine quickly.

2. Consistent Driving

Frequent speeding up and slowing down consumes more fuel. Try to drive at a steady speed of 50-60 km/h. This will reduce the pressure on the engine and increase the mileage.

3. Check tire pressure

In winter, tyre pressure decreases, which increases rubber friction and costs more fuel. Maintain tyre pressure at the level recommended by the carmaker.

4. Reduce Unnecessary Weight

Keeping more weight in the car increases the pressure on the engine and fuel consumption is high. Remove non-essential items in the car and keep only the items needed.

5. Limit the use of ACs and heaters

Excessive use of heaters and ACs affects batteries and fuel. Use them only when needed. Keep car windows closed in cold air so that fuel consumption is reduced.

6. Change engine oil and filters

In cold weather, thickened engine oil affects the performance of the engine. In such a situation, use low-viscosity (thin) engine oil in the car and clean the air filter from time to time.

7. Use cruise control (on the highway)

Unstable speed in long trips can increase fuel consumption. Use cruise control on the highway so that the vehicle runs at a steady speed.
