These tips to adopt on the holiday route to save fuel

On the vacation path, there are some simple gestures to reduce your fuel budget a bit.

If the fuel prices are at a relatively low level currently, it is always interesting to seek to limit their consumption. Simple gestures, both good for the planet and for the portfolio, before a new weekend of departure and vacation comments.

We can start reviewing and adjusting the tire pressure if necessary:

“This is important, throughout the year, of course, but even more before going on vacation, because we know that when the tires are poorly inflated, it can cause excessive consumption of 3 to 5%,” said BFMTV Manuel Caillot, a journalist from Caradisiac.

Good maintenance to avoid consumption

Another advice, think about keeping your vehicle while respecting the review calendar and possibly making a check before the big exit.

“A car with a dirty air filter or candles in bad conditions, also consume fuel, so it is important to have a car in a good maintenance condition,” says Manuel Caillot.

Once on the road, with the warm climate, it can be tempting to quickly launch the air conditioning. But it is rather a bad reflection: it is better first to ventilate the vehicle by opening all the windows and wait a bit to start the air conditioning.

Also be careful not to make the great deviation with the outer temperature, which can be bad for health and also with a potential risk of thermal shock for the windshield. It is generally recommended to adjust the thermostat between 5 ° and 8 ° and especially to exceed the 10 ° difference with the outer temperature.

Does it reduce its speed, a winning bet?

Finally, with fuel consumption directly linked to vehicle speed, you can also reduce its appearance to save in its entirety.

On the road, driving at 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h can save up to 25% fuel on a trip.
