Fuel prices are skyrocketing. This forces drivers to come up with various tricks to reduce fuel costs at least a little. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how to do this safely for the power unit and fuel system.
The first thing that will save you money is good spark plugs. It’s simple: the energy of the spark discharge from the consumable causes a flash, the propagation speed of which directly affects the efficiency of the motor. This is especially noticeable at idle and at low loads, when a large amount of residual gases remain in the combustion chambers.
Don’t forget the wires or the ignition module either. Much depends on the manufacturing quality of these parts, the tightness of the contact tips and the tightness of the caps. Therefore, if the candles and wires are chosen correctly, this will immediately reduce the appetite of the power unit by 2-3%, which is quite good.
If the “heart” of your car is without a boost system and modern electronics, you can temporarily switch from 95th to 92nd gasoline. But not thoughtlessly. You only need to choose those low octane grades that contain cleaning additives. Usually they are always assigned to each brand of gas station. These additives clean the internal surfaces of the engine, keeping it clean and preventing future failures.
As for the use of the usual 92nd without additions, then everything is not so bad and unequivocal here. It is “consumed” quite normally, even by modern designs of “fiery hearts”. However, we strongly recommend filling the tank with the so-called octane number corrector after each refuelling. This is an additive that can be purchased at any auto store.
The labels promise 8-10% savings. In fact, the real result is -3-4%, which is also quite normal.
Oh, and don’t forget the smooth dining style. After all, the main reserve is hidden here. It’s simple: it takes energy to give a mass acceleration. And the faster the acceleration, the more this energy is needed. Hence the increased fuel requirement. And prevent ‘frying’ such as driving at high speeds. So the car will definitely be fine.
