Scooters are becoming more and more popular in Vietnam, but not everyone knows how to use them to save maximum fuel. The following tips on how to ride a scooter to save gas will not only help you save fuel but also increase the life of the vehicle.
Let the car run for 1 to 2 minutes before moving.
After a long period of inactivity, you should let the vehicle run for about 1 to 2 minutes before driving. With scooters, users should keep the throttle steady when starting the vehicle, then gradually increase the throttle.
This will give the gasoline and engine oil enough time to reach the parts and lubricate them fully, allowing the machine to operate smoothly and also being very effective in saving fuel.
Keep the throttle at a steady speed
An article in Lao Dong Newspaper points out that one of the common reasons why scooters "consume" more gas than usual is the way users drive. Therefore, to save gas for scooters, you should not increase or decrease the throttle suddenly, keep the throttle at a stable and appropriate speed, and reduce the throttle slowly when encountering situations on the road.
Most scooters today have an optimal speed of 40 to 50km/h to save fuel most effectively.
Don't move too slow
This is advice for all those who are riding motorbikes if they want to save gas. Not only scooters but all motorbikes when going slowly consume gas. Going slowly here is understood as 5 - 10km/h because when going slowly, the centrifugal shaft will not work to connect the movement to the wheel.
According to experts, for the wheel to rotate one revolution, the engine must rotate 25 revolutions, so for the car to move steadily, it needs to have a speed of over 10km/h. At this time, the car must increase the throttle to increase the vehicle's thrust, increasing will increase heat and decreasing will consume a significant amount of fuel.
To save gas, experts recommend that after a long period of inactivity, you should let the car run for 1 to 2 minutes before driving. (Illustration photo)
Turn off the engine when stopping for more than 20 seconds
When stopping for more than 20 seconds, such as at a red light, users should turn off the engine to save gas and reduce emissions into the environment.
Avoid accelerating and braking at the same time.
According to Vietnamnet Newspaper, some people have the habit of braking and revving their engines at red lights. However, this is harmful to the vehicle because the clutch will quickly burn out and if done frequently, it will cause the vehicle's clutch bell to jerk, not accelerate and waste fuel.
Make sure your tires are properly inflated.
Under-inflated tires can cause wobbling while driving and of course waste fuel. On the other hand, over-inflated tires can increase shock and reduce smoothness when driving.
You should note to only inflate to a moderate level, preferably the correct amount of air for each type of tire.
Do not accelerate suddenly after stopping at a red light.
Many people, after stopping at a red light, often suddenly turn on the gas to speed up. However, this is an action that causes the car to consume several times more fuel than normal.
So to save fuel, after the red light is over you should accelerate slowly and shift gears smoothly.
Regular vehicle maintenance
Parts such as belts, air filters, electronic fuel injection systems, carburetors, spark plugs, etc. are the parts that directly determine fuel consumption. Therefore, to save fuel, you should regularly take your vehicle for maintenance and periodic inspection.
You should also change the engine oil regularly to make the engine work more efficiently, helping the vehicle save fuel. Because if you use oil with too high viscosity, the energy and time spent pumping the oil to the place that needs lubrication will be higher, so it will consume more fuel.
