The reasons behind this could be engine cooling down, freezing of engine oil, battery not working properly and other reasons. However, if you want to maintain the mileage of your car in the cold season, then today we are going to tell you some best tips to do so. By following these tips you can improve the mileage by about 20%.
To warm up the car in cold weather, people keep the engine running for a long time. There is no need to warm the car for long. Start driving within a minute or two, as driving heats up the engine quickly. Repeated acceleration and deceleration consumes more fuel. Try to drive at a steady speed of 50-60 km/hr. This will reduce pressure on the engine and increase mileage.
Tire pressure decreases in cold weather, which increases rubber friction and consumes more fuel. Maintain tire pressure at the level recommended by the car manufacturer.
Keeping excess weight in the car increases pressure on the engine and increases fuel consumption. Remove non-essential items from the vehicle and keep only essential items.
Excessive use of heater and AC impacts the battery and fuel. Use them only when needed. Keep car windows closed in cold weather to reduce fuel consumption.
