Reduce fuel consumption - Suzuki Cars & Trucks

Do you have a check engine light on?

Make sure it has a good tune-up. Also, the type of tires on the vehicle will sometimes alter fuel consumption. Drive smoothly and consistently. Avoid accelerating and stopping quickly. Certain fuel additives may also help.

commenting on fuel consumption is like asking "how long should a piece of string be?". The variables to be considered are tyre pressures, size of tyres, width of tyres,tread patterns,wheel alignment, loads carried by the vehicle, climate temperature and conditions, driving techniques,traffic conditions, speeds travelled, use of gears to maintain correct torque range from the engine, electrical loads required from the alternator and terrain conditions
Some of the things that you can do to improve fuel economy include selecting neutral when stopped as this reduces the load on the engine at idle and the fuel setting is less, having your foot on the clutch loads up the thrust bearings on the crankshaft. An automatic is always trying to drive when stopped so by placing it in neutral when stationary allows the engine to idle at a lower fuel setting. run on standard size tyres and increase the air pressure around 4psi make for less rolling resistance from the tyres so the economy will be improved. Carrying as little as is necessary, (That includes driver and passenger weights) reduces the load on the engine--more economy.Using a cruise control were possible or reading the traffic conditions so that vast speed changes are required less so will improve economy. experiment with different octane rated fuels ( be wary of e-fuels) While you may be reading manufacturers sales rubbish about the expect fuel consumption of a particular vehicle remember that it is sales talk as economy is heavily dependant on engine/vehicle design and driver technique. Basically there is no one single thing to consider for fuel economy but ultimately it all comes down to the driver.

This is a very wide encompassing question. It basically revolves around a thorough engine diagnostics and tune up, replacing filters and plugs etc. The quality of all oils will have a small influence on fuel consumption, as will type of tyres and tyre pressures. The most profound influence on fuel consumption is however your driving style and that is a subject too vast to go into here. It boils down to a smooth driving style, judicious use of the transmission (manual or automatic) and driving within the engine torque range whenever possible. Finally high speed requires additional fuel to deliver the power it needs to overcome wind and rolling resistances.

only use the first third of the gas peddle
use premium grade fuel(computer controlled engine will adjust for better fuel quality)
TURN OFF THE A/C uses about 25% of your fuel.
sorry to say this, but next time buy a smaller engine/body car (in england, if it dont do more than 45 mpg,as an average,the residual value is pants...)

tune up sparkplugs, air filter, oil filter,wires if has them fuel filter,if these items havent been done it will affect ur fuel consumption because the engine is working harder threw the grime and old parts that have to be changed, trust me this will make a difference

Hi,
I know people complain only when fuel levels skyrocket(increase). You should be happy your fuel consumption has plummeted (reduced). However, for BMWs it is usually advisable you change the set. If a pully is bad, it usually affects other parts. Your BMW is rather old...these problems usually come with aging BMWs which usually have a lifespan.

Cheers.

a low cylinder will cause a reduction in fuel economy. also in the winter months many states oxygenate thier fuel, it helps with emmisions but reduces economy. higher octane fuel usually has less feul economy, drop to the mid grade

go to your local parts store and get a can of sea foam and dump it in your gas
