PETROL SAVING

Since our government have increased the fuel price, let’s stop rioting or complaining and instead, start thinking on how to save our fuel. Here‘s some tips on how we can save petrol….

Well first of all, as we know acceleration consumes petrol right? Try to avoid high speeds on open roads. Which will also increase safety during traveling .For example, accelerating from 90/hour to 110/km hour on highways will increase fuel consumption by 25%.

The other thing that drivers love to do is leaving their engine on while waiting for someone. Idling the engine consumers more fuel rather then turning it off and on again. Waiting in the car while the engine is running is also dangerous deal to the chemical released by the car airconds. So while you are waiting for our loved ones or simply your friends, turn off our engine to save the petrol and save the environment.

Using a thicker tire means more rolling resistance, hence consuming more petrol more petrol. But this also decreases the controlling of the car, so it’s not very advisable for new drivers. Keeping our tires pumped to its required pressure will also contribute in saving your fuel. Besides all that, keeping our air filters clean also might help. Because, when the air filters are clogged up, less airflow to the engine, thus it is harder for combustion.

Then, when the fuel prices increase, everyone is feeling the pinch or getting a hole in their pocket. There are pros and cons in every situation, but unfortunately for this situation the cons are more than the pros.

LET’S START WITH THE PROS,

A survey has been done, and since the price hike the usage of the personal cars has decreased and the usage of public transport has increased. Carpooling which was introduced years ago due to pollution dent really catched our attention, but now friends and family are doing it to save consumption of petrol which is fairly expensive. Now less pollution is happening so it’s a good thing right?

NOW THE CONS,

The increase of petrol prices has also increased the prices of our daily materials. Prices for almost everything is increasing. Riots has occurred in front of KLCC.For my opinion, I am sure why did the government increase it ,but we just hope they won’t increase it more.As already the economy is quite bad,with the increase of fuel prices its making it worst. People‘s thinking now is only on how to save petrol and how to use it lesser. Most of the food stalls and hawker stalls increased their prices due to petrol price hike. But as for the fast food restaurants, instead of increasing prices they decrease the ingredients.
