Acceleration and Braking Habits Influence Fuel Economy

Tuesday, 18 April, 2017

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends mostly on your daily driving habits. Acceleration should be smooth and uniform in order to prevent excessive strain on the powertrain. Make sure to watch the tachometer to keep engine stress to a minimum on the highway. You never want the tachometer to reach a reading that's very close to the redline mark. Your braking habits might also influence the overall efficiency of the car. The brake pedal should be depressed firmly and uniformly in order to reduce erratic movements of the wheels. It's also a good idea to release the gas pedal and let the vehicle slow down on its own on a road that doesn't have any inclines. By the time you reach a traffic light, you won't have to apply too much pressure on the brake pedal.

Remember to follow these simple driving tips to improve the fuel economy of your automobile.
