It is important to keep fuel efficiency in mind when buying a new car, but it isn't too late to save money on the car you already own, with the help of a few tips for efficient fuel use. The easiest way to save is by driving only when it is necessary. Use other available options like walk- ing, biking, and. public transportation systems. Or make a telephone call in- stead. Ride-sharing on trips to work is also a good way to save energy and money. When you do use your car, try to combine a number of short errands or chores into one trip. It is estimated that we use 30 per cent of our gasoline on trips of less than 8 km. These short ventures con- sume excess fuel because the car's engine is not warm for much of the trip. Avoid jumpy starts, because more fuel is used and the tires wear out more quickly. Sharp jabs on the gas pedal activate the ac- celerator pump, which sup- plies extra fuel to the engine. Never rest your foot on the brake pedal while driv- ing, however lightly; this could put needless resistance on the wheels. If you are waiting for so- meone, or are caught in a traffic jam, turn off the motor. Idling gives you zero fuel economy. Remove roof racks when they are not needed because they increase wind resistance significantly. Also, close your windows on the highway; open win- dows add to aerodynamic drag and raise fuel consumption. Fill your gas tank only to the first 'click', when the pump shuts itself off. Never top up the tank because the fuel might ex- pand in warm weather and overflow the tank. Try to decrease your speed on the highway - tests show that most cars use 20 per cent less fuel when driven at 90 km/h than they do at 110 km/h. Allow plenty of time to reach your destination. Driving to beat the clock forces you to speed, brake sharply, accelerate too rapidly and generally waste fuel and put strain on the car. In the winter, drivers have to be even more careful if they want to im- prove the fuel efficiency of their vehicles. For exam- ple, at -12°C the average engine needs at least 15 km of driving to eliminate short trips from your driv- ing pattern. It is not necessary to let your engine idle for a long period when starting in the winter - 30 seconds is all the car generally needs. It will warm best as it is driven, but be careful to ac- celerate smoothly. Watching the traffic well ahead of you and driving defensively, whether in winter or summer, is one of the best ways to save fuel. This allows you to travel at a consistent speed and avoid braking too often. If you are travelling on a hilly road, allow the vehicle to slow down as you climb the hill, and speed up to the legal limit when descending. In other words, maintain even ac- celerator pressure. Profes- sional truckers call this 'road management.' Regular engine tuning is vital if you want to get the most for your energy dollar. Tuning should be done every four months, but a fall and spring tuneup are most important to get your engine ready for drastic temperature changes. This can cut fuel consumption by 10 per cent. Tire pressure should be checked every week in the winter because temperature changes affect the pressure, and underinflated tires adversely affect fuel con- sumption. If your tire pressures are 20 kPa or 3 psi softer than the manufac- turer recommends, you are using about 1.5 per cent more fuel than necessary. And remember to check the tires when they are cold. Snow tires running on dry pavement cause your car to consume 4 per cent more fuel than when you are using summer tires. So snow tires should be removed as early in the spring as possible. Radial tires have a well- documented potential for a 5 per cent or better im- provement in fuel economy over bias ply tires. P- Metric tires represent the state of the art in tires engineered for fuel economy. These tires are lighter, operate at higher pressures for the same load and offer less resistance when rolling. An air conditioner adds weight to your car and can reduce fuel economy by as much as 6 per cent in a small car. When in use, it can increase fuel consump- tion by as much as 20 per cent in hot-weather stop- and-go driving. Car costs can be cut dramatically. Organize yourself to take advantage of alternatives like walking or biking, and try to allow for those minutes of extra ar care that will save you * oney.
