Tips to increase mielage of you car

Think to remember while filling fuels in your car / bike



  • Fuel at night or early morning: 


It is always  better to fill your car during early morning, when the ground temperature is still cold.
You know all service stations have their storage tanks underground.The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel. When it gets warmer, petrol expands.
So, when filling fuel in the afternoon or in the evening, your one liter is not exactly a liter.
In the petroleum terms, the specific gravity and the temperature play an important role. 1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But dont think the service stations have temperature compensation at the pumps.

  • Better to fill fuel when half tank empty: 

It is good fill the fuel when your tank is HALF FULL because, the more fuel you have in your tank the less is the air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine.


  • Make sure Nozzle trigger in medium or low stage

You can find Nozzle trigger to fill the petrol  has three stages-Low, Medium, and High.
Make sure it not in  fast mode, while filling petrol. It should be in the low stage to minimise the impacts of vapour and to have maximum economy of petrol.. Filling petrol at the faster rate means you have more gas with your liquid petrol.


  • Don't fill when petrol tankers unloading fuel

Because when the tankers fill fuel at the fuel station all the dirt that is settled at the bottom down gets disturbed and if you are fueling at the same time it can get into your vehicle tank along with fuel - it can badly affect your engine.


  • Proper tyre pressure

Tyre pressure must be checked once every two weeks. It helps to reduce the drag while driving thus increasing your mileage.


  • Avoid Unwanted weight in car

Every extra kilo of weight will need additional fuel, decreasing the mileage.
