Mood crisis such as now, making many people re-think how to save money if you want to spend anything. For car owners, the thing that makes surprise was the high prices of auto parts. Until now, the rising prices of spare parts has reached 2.5 times higher than pre-crisis prices. Repair the damaged car in the garage, now need to ask first. If not, do not be surprised if you will be surprised and hurt, not ready to membayarnya.Belakangan widely expressed, petroleum will rise. And if fuel goes up, then travel costs go up, too. So, very wise to keep the car from now on so it does not cost much more. Or, if you want to repair and need replacement parts, can find the most economical way possible.
The following points may help you address the situation that is happening. Of course, a very thoughtful treatment. Preparing a car that is not wasteful of fuel, look for alternative parts whose quality is good but less expensive and so on.
In addition, another important thing to note is how to drive. More patient and careful, it could reduce the risk of unwanted. In the event of accident or bump another car, you certainly do not cost very little. Moreover, the cost of painting is now very expensive. Price of the paint used to Rp 25,000 per liter, can now be more than
Rp 250,000 per liter.
Fuel-efficient
Normally car owners who do not understand the intricacies of the vehicle, can only complain that the extravagant cars, the engine is less tasty and so on. The characteristics of the engine underpowered, ngoyo, ngelithik, and heat, usually associated with a machine that is less wrong, inefficient, and wasteful of fuel. So car owners are generally advised to take the menu Tune Up machine. This menu is effective for cars that use carburetors, but not so for a car that already uses EFI, MPI, and so forth.
Turned out to tune up the old machines like the set of valves, set of platinum, sets the carburetor is no longer necessary on tech cars without a carburetor. Not much can be done on these cars. Plugs were cleaned and replaced at 50,000 to 100,000 km. In other words, the less work done on the car without a carburetor. The cars with the advanced technology it is now fairly maintained with more frequent cleaning air filter, replace fuel filter (no lead) and oil filter change every 10,000 km.
However those machines should also have regular maintenance and occasional checked with the test equipment. Easy as anything in the way of maintenance EFI car, or cars that still use carburetors, tune up process should be supported by adequate equipment. For car owners berkarburator, reliability engineers who use the old feeling, still can help. Although he was a comfortable car, but it took me much longer. Whereas when using a tool such as, tune up tester, gas analyzer makes the job even intelligent tester to tune up more quickly and accurately.
The third tester is truly a staple of equipment to create optimum engine performance. Fuel-efficient cars are always showing low CO. Low CO is one indicator of optimal engine performance, and it can only be known after the use of test equipment exhaust emissions that are placed in car exhaust. CO has been shown that low-fuel combustion and optimum air compared to other machines with higher CO. Indeed the content of CO, two to three percent per volume is high. Because CO-tech EFI car (less than one percent), Gasoline Direct Injection (0.5 percent / volume). Toyota Prius hybrid car is much lower, 0.05 percent / volume.
Then how can the technician determine levels of CO emissions are low, if the garage is not equipped with flue gas meter test. If not, you revert to tune up, find another shop that has a complete equipment. CBU cars in this country, are using technologies such as VVTL-I, V-tec and a variety of sensors that are used to enhance performance and comfort of the car. Exhaust emissions test kits are not enough, there must be intelligent-tester who is still a luxury item in the eyes of the technician.
Diesel fuel for diesel
Many people choose to buy a diesel car, for half the price of diesel fuel premium gasoline prices. Although less convenient, owners of diesel cars could save. Therefore, some diesel car owners pay less attention to the color of the exhaust gas, although in fact the color of black exhaust indicates the engine is wasteful, and if in-tune up the engine can be more efficient and powerful. By replacing the air filter is new, this could be overcome, unless the condition of the car was terrible.
There are three reasons why wasteful or efficient cars. The first impact or wasteful driver can save between 10-15 percent. Second, the prime condition of the engine exhaust tip is marked gray and drove the car lighter. Third, the tools they increase the comfort of the driver and passengers such as power steering and air conditioning, a direct burden on the machine that could take to raise the level of fuel consumption to 15 percent.
Driver
Driving behavior that is running the car in a hurry, not only uncomfortable for the passengers but also wastes fuel. For example, like stepping on the gas pedal until exhausted and then braked suddenly. How to drive like this certainly makes more wasteful of fuel.
Not long ago the writer tried to Deer EFI from Semarang-Solo pp. Departing from Semarang to drive a car using public transport drivers in pursuit of the deposit, so that the engine RPM is always showing the numbers above 3,500. Return of used a more relaxed and always below 3500 RPM. The results of this testing is very impressive. Time to go, one liter of petrol only to travel 7.8 miles. When he returned home, one liter of gasoline could reach 11.8 miles.
Besides being more secure in transit, the operation of the car in a relaxed produce sizable fuel savings.
