10 Amazing Trips for Vans, Cars and Trucks to Reduce the Fuel Expenses


The ever increasing fuel prices always remain a big problem for all kind of vehicle i.e. vans, cars, truck and other vehicles. Currently these prices are on the record high level and touching new heights. Following are the ten amazing tips for the drivers to reduce the fuel expense.
1.      Choosing the Right Grade of Gasoline
If you have van, car, truck or any other vehicle see the manual and check which fuel grade is recommended for your vehicle. Most of the vehicles work efficiently on regular fuel so no need to go for premium, which costs more than 20%.

2.      Look for The Best Price Brands.
Although there is no big difference in fuel prices but some brands of gasoline offers special discounts.


3.      Avoid Using Your Vehicle for Every Small Trip.
Another point for van, car, truck and other vehicle owners to reduce their fuel expense is use public transport for your small trips instead of your own vehicle because it costs you around 30% more.

4.      Use Telecommunication.
By using telecommunication facilities you can simply avoid many small trips which you are doing now. Online enquiries on your computer or use your cell phone call help line can save you to go there.


5.      Avoid Aggressive Driving.
Aggressive driving and aggressively starting up the vehicle can also damage your fuel economy. Try to remain in speed limits and drive your van, car truck or any other kind of vehicle between 50 and 60 speeds. To remain in that speed limit can save around 25% of your fuel expenses.

6.      Reduce the Usage of Air conditioner and Heater.
Reduce the usage of air conditioner and heater while you drive your van, car, truck or any other kind of vehicle can save around 20% of your fuel expense.

7.      Remove Extra Wind Resistance and Weight Carriers.
Removing extra weight carriers on the roof of your vehicle can cause wind resistance which increase the fuel consumption. It is recommended that carry the load inside your vehicle instead of outside or be ready for extra fuel consumption.

8.      Avoid Idling The Vehicle.
If you have to make stop of one minute, turn of the engine of your van car truck or other vehicle because all new vehicles are designed to warm up quickly therefore no need to idle the vehicle.
        
9.      Periodic Maintenance.
Perform all periodic maintenance on time. Replace all the required parts such as fuel and air filters can save your fuel expenses around 20%.
10.  Choose Fuel Efficient Vehicles.
When you decide to purchase your new van, car, truck or any other vehicle try to know about the fuel efficiency of that vehicle. The top priority must be a fuel efficient vehicle instead of any other thing.

Today as fuel prices are touching new record highs everyday and there is very less chance of reduction in those towering fuel prices, fuel efficiency becomes the need of every vehicle driver.
