Hypermilling Tips – Part Two
This is the continuation of our hypermilling tips series. In this part, we will continue to discuss the hypermilling tips for better mileage and more savings on fuel.
Do you have a rack on your car roof? Usually this rack is to hold bikes but if you are not in need of this rack, you can take it off. Doing this will reduce the aerodynamic drag so you get more mileage or better fuel efficiency.
We have talked about tires before. Tires play a major role in helping us to save money on fuel. Properly inflated tires can help to improve fuel economy. Now, for those who live in countries with different seasons, be sure to track the temperature with your tire pressure as these two are connected in some ways.
Whenever you are travelling, keep track of your fuel consumption. This is important as motivation to save money on fuel and also to understand your driving habit. Cut down on unnecessary trips will indeed be helpful.
If there are roads less travelled, don’t be afraid to use those. The reasons:
1. Road less travelled = less cars so you get to use all sorts of hypermilling tips you have learnt.
2. More cars = less ways you can use to save fuel.
3. If you travel on busier roads, you might find yourself using up more fuel than the quiet roads.
Another tips is to leave early if you have to reach the destination by a certain time.
Leaving early gives you more time to drive accordingly in order for the fuel efficiency to work. If you leave in rush, you find yourself driving with all the bad habits and end up failing your goal to save fuel.
We will continue with more tips in the coming days. As for now, practice whatever you think is suitable for you lifestyle. Remember practice makes perfect!
