How to ride a scooter to save gas?

Scooters are increasingly popular in Vietnam, but not everyone knows how to use them to maximize fuel economy. Some of the following tips on how to ride a gas-efficient scooter will not only help you save fuel, but also increase the life of your car.

Let the car start for 1 to 2 minutes before moving

After a long period of inactivity, you should let the car run for 1 to 2 minutes before running. With scooters, the user should hold the gas evenly when starting the car, then gradually increase the throttle.

This will help gasoline and engine oil have enough time to go to the details and lubricate fully, the machine will operate smoothly and also be very effective in saving fuel.

Hold the throttle at a steady speed

The article on the Labor Newspaper points out that one of the common reasons why scooters "consume" more gas than usual is the way users drive their cars. 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 current scooters have an optimal speed of 40 to 50km/h for the most efficient fuel economy.

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 slow here is understood as 5-10km/h because when going slow, the centrifugal shaft will not work to connect the movement of the wheel.

According to experts, in order for the wheel to turn once, the engine must rotate 25 times, so in order for the car to go, it needs to have a speed of over 10km/h. At this time, the car must increase the throttle to increase the thrust of the vehicle, when increasing will increase the heat and reduce it will consume a significant amount of fuel.

Turn off the engine when stopping for more than 20 seconds

When you need to stop the car for more than 20 seconds like waiting for a red light, you should turn off the engine to both save fuel and also reduce emissions to the environment.

Avoid fitting the accelerator and brake

According to Vietnamnet newspaper, the habit of some people when stopping at a red light is to both brake and start the gas. However, this is a harmful action to the car because then the clutch will quickly burn and if it happens often, it will cause the car's cone bell to jerk, not pick up and consume fuel.

Make sure your tires are properly inflated

Tires that are too under-inflated can easily cause wobble when moving and of course also cause fuel consumption. Conversely, overinflated tires can increase shock and reduce ride comfort.

You should pay attention to only inflate the inflation at a moderate level, it is best to have the correct number of kilograms suitable for each type of tire.

Do not accelerate suddenly after stopping at a red light

Many people after stopping at a red light often turn on the gas suddenly to make the car go away. However, this is an action that makes the car use several times more fuel than usual.

So if you want to save fuel, after the red light runs out, you should let the car accelerate slowly plus the rhythmic gearshift.

Regular vehicle maintenance

Parts such as belts, air filters, electronic fuel injection systems, carburetors, spark plugs, etc. is the part that directly determines the fuel consumption. Therefore, to save fuel, you should regularly take your car for regular maintenance and inspection.

Car oil, you should also regularly change it periodically to make the engine work more efficiently to help the car save fuel. Because if using oil with too high viscosity, the energy and time spent to pump the oil to the place to be lubricated will be higher, so it will consume more fuel.
