The diesel fuel prices are much lower today than it was in July. But that doesnt mean that we can drive in any manner we can and waste money on fuel. The economic crisis is still here and is draining your wallet big time. Here are some things you need to do to save fuel and money.
Pressurize
Check your tire pressure regularly. Running on a soft tire increases road drag, road noise, tire temperature and chances of blow-out. Make sure that you follow the manufacturers recommended tire pressure.
Lighten up
If you are driving your truck on weekend golf, that is okay. But do you really have to bring your equipment for the rest of the week? Okay, you dont play golf. Still, you need to remove unnecessary things from your trunk or your truck bed. Extra weight consumes fuel.
Dont be a drag
Manufacturers have all the right reasons why they design your vehicle the way it is. Avoid altering your ride by using leveling kit. This destroys the aerodynamics of your car. A good looking truck with kits and all may catch eyes but take note, it catches air too. Aerodynamic drag consumes more fuel if the vehicle is modified.
