For car owners, the price of oil is an inescapable topic. Especially in the current domestic fuel prices continue to rise in the environment, how to maximize fuel savings in sports cars, has become a compulsory course for owners.

In fact, many owners in the process of many years of sports cars, accumulated a variety of fuel-saving tricks, some of which are indeed scientific and feasible, but some is a misunderstanding, not only do not save fuel, but also cause adverse effects on the vehicle. Today, DARO trailer axle will talk to you about those common fuel-saving misunderstandings, and see if you often use them.


1. Glide in neutral. For some reason, neutral coasting gives some owners the illusion of saving fuel. In fact, this will not only save fuel, but also consume more fuel. Because when the vehicle is gliding in neutral, the engine is in idle state, which is more fuel injection than sliding with gear, the amount of fuel consumed should not be underestimated in the long run.


In addition, the impact of neutral taxi on driving safety is also very great. Recall that when we learn vehicle driving in driving school, neutral gliding is prohibited by the coach, this is because the traditional system of the vehicle chassis is disconnected from the engine when neutral gliding, not only lost traction, but also lost the auxiliary braking force, once in downhill or emergency braking, can only rely on the foot brake to brake, the braking effect is sharply reduced, if the vehicle is fully loaded at this time, It is also prone to accidents such as tail dumping and rollover.


2. Drag gear. In order to save fuel, some owners often like high speed and low speed, and after hanging high speed, the engine is at the lowest limit of the economic speed range. This behavior is easy to lead to a decrease in engine power and traction, and in the long run, it is easy to lead to the formation of carbon deposits inside the engine, affecting the service life of the engine, and the impact on fuel consumption is also greater.


3. Increase tire pressure. Some owners believe that increasing the tire pressure of the vehicle can reduce the contact area between the tire and the road, so that the resistance to progress can also be reduced, which is also helpful for fuel saving. This is completely wrong.


The tire pressure of the vehicle is too high, and the wear of the center of the tire surface is accelerated, which is easy to lead to a burst tire or reduce the service life of the tire. In addition, the friction of the tire will be reduced, which will easily increase the braking distance and affect safety. High tire pressure vehicles will feel more bumpy, not only increase fuel consumption and cargo damage, affect the driving experience, but also accelerate the wear of chassis suspension and other components.


4. Long time original geothermal vehicle. This habit is mainly in winter, because the temperature is low, the oil fluidity is poor, affecting the lubrication effect, so the owners generally warm up a car before driving, the engine runs more smoothly, but also to achieve the purpose of fuel saving.


Generally speaking, the original geothermal vehicle 1-2 minutes, and then slowly start driving, in 1-2 kilometers to keep the engine speed is not too high, after the engine can be completely lubricated. If the time of the original geothermal car is too long, that is, the long idle hot car will make the inner wall of the engine cylinder produce water droplets, but affect the lubrication effect of the oil, damage the engine and affect its service life.

5, do not open the air conditioning but open the window to cool down. Do not turn on the air conditioning can save fuel, but do not turn on the air conditioning but open the window to cool down, especially when the vehicle speed is faster, it is not advisable, because it will increase the driving resistance and increase fuel consumption.


Maybe the main car said: this is not good, that is not good, then how to do to save fuel? Next, let's see how the old drivers do it, and easily save 30% on fuel.


1. Predictive driving. In the words of the old driver, "brake more, it is to pour oil on the road", it is important to develop good driving habits, try to maintain the relative stability of the accelerator pedal, so that the engine speed is in a medium speed, stable range, in traffic lights, complex road conditions, turns, intersections, etc., to use predictive driving method, slow down the oil, slow down in advance, Minimize sharp braking and acceleration.


2. Don't overload. Do not overload in order to maximize the benefits of a single sports car, let alone risk and fines, light from the perspective of fuel consumption and vehicle wear, in the long run overload may not be able to bring higher benefits to the owner. When the owner chooses the goods, he should not only look at the freight, but also consider the fuel consumption on the road, the wear and tear of the vehicle, and the operating costs such as personal physical endurance.


3. Keep the tire pressure reasonable. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly, and do not appear to be under-inflated or over-inflated. In addition, do not replace the wide tire at will, and it should be determined according to the actual use needs.


4, winter selected oil. It is recommended to use better oil in winter, which is conducive to the rapid establishment of oil film for the moving parts of the engine, reduce the wear of the moving parts during the cold start process, reduce friction, improve the reliability of the engine and save fuel consumption.


5. Accumulation of experience. Wind speed, rainfall, snow and other weather factors will also have a certain impact on fuel saving driving, according to their own transport conditions to reasonably choose and use the hydraulic retarder, parking air conditioning, parking warm air and other configuration, through continuous practice to accumulate their own driving experience, scientific reduction of fuel consumption.

In addition, there is also a very important point: the configuration of the vehicle do not follow the trend, according to their own operating route, the type of transport of goods, driving road conditions and so on to choose the right parts. For example, DARO disc trailer axle, compared with the traditional drum trailer axle weight reduction of 15%-20%, smaller weight and more fuel saving, suitable for dangerous chemicals, green pass, cold chain transportation; DARO German trailer axle, small tire damage, light weight, low fuel consumption, suitable for express transportation or long-distance transportation; DARO drum trailer axle from 10t light to 25t heavy models complete, the owner also according to the actual use of the vehicle to choose.
