Gasoline Efficient Tips for Driving Matic Cars

Recently, fuel prices have gone up. Therefore, you will definitely need tips on how to drive an automatic car to be more fuel efficient.

With fuel prices rising, there are actually ways for automatic car users to be more fuel efficient to reduce fuel expenses.

One of the tips we can provide is to adjust the driving style of an automatic car to be more fuel efficient.

As quoted from GridOto.comHermas Efendi Prabowo, owner of Worner Matic specialist workshop who is also an expert on automatic car transmissions in Indonesia, provides tips on driving an automatic car that can make it more fuel efficient.

"The main key for an electric car to be more fuel efficient is to maintain the engine rotation," Hermas said.

He suggests keeping the throttle pedal at an engine speed of no more than 2,000 rpm.

Good condition stop and go Whether you are traveling at a constant speed, keep the engine speed below 2,000 rpm.

"The automatic transmission has a TCU module (Transmission Control Unit) that detects how much torque is needed with the acceleration of the car," explained Hermas.

"From the torque produced by the engine, the gear ratio adjusts automatically to maintain the car's speed from low engine speeds," he continued.

With this, fuel consumption is kept low as the car accelerates.

One of the advantages of an automatic transmission is that it produces minimal engine brake.

"Take advantage of the momentum of the car either on a straight road or downhill to occasionally release the gas pedal," said Hermas.

"So there are moments when the car is still moving without the need to step on the gas pedal," he continues.

Finally, you can take advantage of supporting features in the car that increase fuel efficiency.

Can use ECO driving mode which regulates throttle response so that the engine does not burn excessively from a deep gas pedal stroke.

Or use a car air conditioner that can be set not too cold so that the engine workload is light.

"In middle to upper class cars, there are features coasting so that the car can keep sliding but the engine rotation idle," Hermas concluded.
