Avoid driving short distances

Short distances result in an above-average high fuel consumption.

– Avoid driving a distance of no more than 4 km if the engine is cold.

The engine and catalytic converter must first have reached their optimal operating

temperature in order to effectively reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emis-

sions.

The cold engine vehicle consumes approx. 15 - 20 litres/100 km of fuel immediately

after starting. Fuel consumption drops to 10 litres/100 km after just 1 kilometre. The

engine reaches its operating temperature (outside temperature and engine

dependent) only after about 4 to 10 kilometres and the fuel consumption then

stabilizes. You should therefore avoid driving short distances whenever possible.

An important factor in this connection is also the ambient temperature. The

⇒ fig. 196 shows the different fuel consumptions for the same distance, on the one

hand at +20°C and on the other hand at -10°C. Your vehicle has a higher fuel

consumption in winter than in summer.

Checking tyre inflation pressures

Tyres which are correctly inflated save fuel.

Always ensure that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure at all times. The

rolling resistance will be increased if the tyre filling pressure is too low. This will not

only increase fuel consumption but also tyre wear and the driving behaviour will

worsen.

Always check the inflation pressure of the tyres when cold.

Do not drive with winter tyres all year round for this costs about 10 % more fuel.

Winter tyres are also louder.

No unnecessary ballast

Transporting ballast costs fuel.

The fact that every kilogram of extra weight increases your fuel consumption

means that it is worth taking a look in the luggage compartment to avoid trans-

porting any unnecessary ballast.

It is particularly in town traffic, when one is accelerating quite often, that the vehicle

weight will have a significant effect upon the fuel consumption. A rule of thumb

here is that an increase in weight of 100 kilograms will cause an increase in fuel

consumption of about 1 litre/100 kilometres.

You may frequently also leave a roof rack fitted on just out of convenience,

although you no longer need it. The increased aerodynamic drag of your vehicle

causes it to use about 10% more fuel than normal at a speed of 100 - 120 km/h,

even when you are not carrying a load on the roof.

Saving electricity

Generating electricity costs fuel.

– Switch off electrical components as soon as you no longer need them.

When the engine is running, the alternator generates and supplies electrical power.

The greater the load on the alternator as a result of having a large number of elec-

trical components switched on, the more fuel will be consumed for operating the

alternator.
