Slowing down the gas price rollercoaster begins probing the car tyres according to Yokohama tire company. These money saving tips, and find out to drive economically.(ARA) - gas prices are back on a roller coaster ride. A bargain these days is all under $4 per gallon, which is particularly difficult, since it is summer and everyone hits the road for the holidays.
Inching is closer with the cycle fall "Back to-School". In short, there are a lot of next drive and higher gas prices are now the norm is, so it's time to relieve the pain at the gas stations are looking for ways.
A good place to start is eye level with the feet - tires of your car. You can see tyres round effects, as black, but truth said, are these technical miracles - if you properly maintained - gas saver, that senior Vice President for sales and marketing can cut hundreds of dollars from your annual fuel Bill by Dan King, Yokohama Tire Corporation's.
"The first thing you always make sure that your tires are properly inflated,", says King. "Tires, which are for example underinflated by eight pounds per square inch (PSI), can reduce vehicle to less than 2 percent fuel economy and tire tread life can also by as much as 25 percent will be reduced."
King says the best driving savings and security results, make, check tire pressure a monthly routine. "It takes only five minutes," he says. "If you do not it monthly, chances are you on inflated tire drive."
Use the tire inflation figures usually named within the driver's door, gas cap, glove box or in the user guide. (The number on the sidewalls of the tyres is the maximum tire pressure.) Over inflation reduces the tire contact patch with the road while limit of pressure puts added weight on the side walls and causes an uncertain increase in tire temperature.
Certain types of tyres - to those with low rolling resistance (LRR) - can fuel to save. "LRR tires to minimize the energy as heat lost, while the tyres on the road rolls" King says. "This leads to improved fuel efficiency." "Studies show F59PHI LRR tires alone save about $100 per year."
Yokohama AVID ENVigor tires is a good example for the expanding LRR tire technology. "It is resistant tires an excellent low rolling, which saves fuel and combines performance, comfort and long Treadlife," King says.
King offers other fuel-saving tips:
* Keep your tires properly inflated. Once in the month, when the tires are cold (at least three to four hours after the vehicle has been driven), check tyre pressure with a reliable pressure gauge. Make sure that the valve stems have a plastic or metal cap keep out dirt and seal against leakage have.
* Replace your air filter. A clogged air filter blocked the air, the required efficient fuel consumption and waste gas.
* Keeping your car tuned - until the manufacturer recommended timetable, to keep all systems in good working condition, your mileage can be optimized.
* To prevent skidding and hydroplaning, tire must be replaced when the profile to 1/16 inch is worn out. A simple test: Put a penny in borosdku tread. Part of Lincoln's head is under the running surface, are you with the right amount of tread drive. If you see all the head, you should buy a new tire.
* Integrated Treadwear indicators, or "Wear bars", which look like narrow strips of smooth rubber in the tread on the tires are displayed if the profile to 1/16 inch is worn out. If you see these wear bars which tire is worn out and should be replaced.
* Visually check your tires for signs of irregular wear. You may have irregular tread wear if it high and low areas or are unusually smooth. Dealers tyres as soon as possible.
* Tires should be rotated at least every 6,000 to 8,000 miles and the alignment should be reviewed once a year. Misaligned tyres can lead to scrub the car, which lowers mileage and causes unnecessary tire wear.
* Slow. For every 5 mph over 60 mph you going use more gas, and ultimately pay even more for every gallon gasoline.
