			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>East surged in the price of oil, and it also will not remain on a constant price too long. I remembered last year in June, the price per litre of Shell has been reduced by 98 SGD $ 1.70 and, more recently, when I was filled with fuel. It costs about $ 2.12 SGD per litre, representing an increase of nearly $ 0.40 per litre SGD. Not to mention that the price is still rising. There are several alternatives that we can do.</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span>1 To stop driving &#8211; for those who have been guided, say, it&#8217;s crazy! The cars are just like your legs, you around places. But what we can do is try walking, cycling or go on a bus for short journeys.</p>
<p>2 To change hybrid car &#8211; it is a track where they adopt and some have said that much more fuel to produce hybrid car.</p>
<p>3 To change how we drive &#8211; is perhaps the immediate cessation option we can.

<p>Keep your tires properly inflated</p>
<p>If the tires on good impression not only increase your security during the journey, it also promotes fuel efficiency. The number of PSI on the page of your tire indicates the maximum pressure tires and is not the inflation rate for your car. Your vehicle from the list recommended tire pressure in your owner&#8217;s manual or a sticker on the doorjamb of the driver-side panel.

A fuel with a higher octane rating and unreasonable not to bring more power. With the type recommended for your vehicle you will be better fuel economy &#8211; and may translate to more savings for you.</p>
<p>Do not cause overweight</p>
<p>Heavy vehicles require more energy to move, for example, being overweight is also an impact on your performance. We appreciate your boat or the rear seat, useless objects can contribute to reducing the weight to your vehicle and increase fuel.</p>

<p>Use the highest possible Gear</p>
<p>Passage at a speed exceeding the speed of the car is the way to go. Yields lower transmission power, but reflected an increase in fuel consumption. To improve fuel economy, do you spend in the highest possible, if you&#8217;re cruising on a constant speed, as on the highway.</p>
<p>Use Cruise Control</p>
<p>Use Cruise Control, you can improve your gas mileage, using a constant speed, but only if you are the driving force in most roads plates. However, if you&#8217;re in a rugged, you must turn off the cruise. He will try to keep you up to speed you set and with a supplement to reduce gas downshifting gearbox to be developed.</p>
<p>Do not idle</p>

I remembered around June last year, the price per litre of Shell 98, which is around $ 1.70 SGD and just when I was recently refilling fuel. It costs about $ 2.12 SGD per litre, up nearly $ 0.40 per litre SGD. Not to mention that the price is still rising. There are a few alternatives that we can do.</p>
<p>1 To stop driving &#8211; for those who have been driving, you will be saying it&#8217;s crazy! Cars are just like your legs, they carries around you places. However, what we can do is to try walking, cycling or hopping on a bus for short trips.</p>
<p>2 To change to hybrid car &#8211; this is one viable option where you can adopt and yet some were saying that it is much more fuel to produce a hybrid car.</p>
<p>3 To change the way we drive &#8211; this is possibly the immediate option that we can adopt. By changing your driving habits you can improve fuel economy and there are many tips which you can use to start saving pennies and not dollars. Changing your habits and you&#8217;ll see a substantial savings at the pump &#8211; without the need for a new car.</p>
<p>Let us look at ways on how we can change our driving habits as well as tips on how we can save fuel. These tips help you not only to save fuel, but also help you to contribute your bit towards saving our planet.</p>
<p>Keep Your Tires properly Inflated</p>
<p>Keeping the tires at the right pressure not only increase your safety while driving, it also promotes fuel efficiency. The number PSI at the side of your tires shows the maximum of the tire pressure and is not the proper inflation level for your car. Your vehicle manufacturer will list the recommended tire pressure in your owner&#8217;s manual or a sticker on the driver of the doorjamb-side door. You will notice that if your tires are underinflated, you will experience the extra drag on your car and this translates to more fuel usage.</p>
<p>Follow the Recommended Maintenance</p>
<p>It is important to follow servicing your car manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations. A vehicle is well maintained that means it will operate with greater efficiency. This not only improves your overall performance vehicle, but it will improve your fuel economy as well. Proper maintenance also means using the right octane gas and the recommended grade of motor oil. A fuel with a higher octane rating and inappropriate does not translate to more power. Using the types recommended for your vehicle will give you optimum fuel economy &#8211; and can translate to more saving for you.</p>
<p>Avoid carrying excess weight</p>
<p>Heavier vehicles require more energy to move, carrying excess weight around will also affect your mileage. Keeping your boot or back seat clear of unnecessary items can reduce your weight to vehicle fuel and increase efficiency.</p>
<p>Drive smoothly</p>
<p>Aggressive driving can use as much as a third more fuel, acceleration or avoid braking too hard and keep steering smoothly. The fewer and heavy brakings flooring of the accelerator, the more you save fuel. It is important to plan your trip and to avoid the rush when driving. Always give yourself extra time to get to your destination and drive in a &#8220;steady and smooth&#8221; manner. This not only gets you to your destination safely, it also helps you to save fuel.</p>
<p>Use the high Gear Possible</p>
<p>Changing to a higher gear to match the speed of the car is the way to go. Lowest gear greatest power yields but translates to an increase in fuel consumption. To improve your fuel economy, drive in the highest gear possible when you are cruising at a steady speed, such as on the highway.</p>
<p>Use Cruise Control</p>
<p>Using cruise control can improve your gas mileage by helping you maintain a steady speed, but only if you are driving on mostly flat roads. However, if you are in hilly terrain, you should turn off cruise. It will try to keep you up to the speed you set and will use a lot of extra gas to lower downshifting gears to accomplish this.</p>
<p>Avoid excess idling</p>
<p>When a car is idling, it is using fuel. Turning off the engine during idle periods can help you avoid burning excess fuel. If you are waiting for your kid outside the school or waiting to pick up someone, it is more efficient to turn off the engine while you wait and then restart the car. You will save fuel.</p>
<p>With these tips, you will not only your drastically improve fuel efficiency and saving money but also doing your bit for our planet.</p>
