Fuel efficiency is a must for every driver. As it determines the money you can save, your car’s driving range, and the long-term performance of your vehicle. Discerning drivers know that choosing fuel-efficient cars such as the Chevrolet Trax, can not only maximize their fuel consumption but also enjoy both quality and top-of-the-line performance.
In this article, we will explore some essential tips for maximizing the fuel efficiency of your Chevrolet Trax, from its various features to some more general tips on the upkeep and driving habits that can help you reduce your fuel consumption.
Maintain your Car Regularly
Managing your fuel consumption starts with maintaining your car. You can improve your car’s mileage by keeping your tires inflated properly, making sure they’re aligned, and replacing old spark plugs or faulty fuel injectors can make a big difference in how far you can go on a tank. Ensuring these components are in good condition your car consumes less fuel, saving time and money on both repairs and refueling costs.
With its 1.2-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine and its 6-speed automatic transmission, the Trax is specifically designed to optimize fuel economy while still maintaining the top-of-the-line performance that Chevrolet is known for.
Watch Your Speed
Driving at a steady speed can help decrease your vehicle’s fuel efficiency as excessive speeding can burn out your fuel faster. Rapid acceleration and sudden braking also make your car use up more fuel.
Chevrolet’s newest iteration of the Trax features an adaptive cruise control system that can automatically adjust your speed to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. This system also enables you to save more fuel as this system minimizes the need to suddenly accelerate and brake.
Unload Unnecessary Weight
Another way to maximize your fuel economy is to ensure that your car does not carry unnecessary weight. A report has established that an extra 100 pounds can reduce your fuel economy by up to 2% as more weight in your vehicle requires the engine to accelerate and move, thereby consuming more fuel.
Reducing any excess weight your vehicle carries—such as unused items in the trunk or on roof racks—can significantly improve fuel efficiency. Taking steps like this can be an effective way for drivers to begin their journey to maximize their car’s fuel.
Avoid Too Much Idling
Stopping by the sidewalk and just letting your car be idle has been a common practice among Filipinos. However, idling will consume more fuel compared to just restarting your car. Cranking the A/C to its maximum setting and using it at all times also consumes fuel.
This issue can easily be solved by having a system that automatically prevents your car from idling can help you save more fuel. This vehicle comes with an auto start-stop technology that is designed to improve fuel efficiency by automatically shutting off the engine whenever it detects the car to be idling.
Plan Ahead
Being conscious of your fuel economy does not mean you need to immediately stop driving. By planning, you can still enjoy the benefits and conveniences of driving while also conserving and maximizing the fuel efficiency of your car. Little things such as combining shorter trips into a longer one, lessening idle car time, decluttering your car, and anticipating road conditions to lessen sudden braking, can add up sometimes.
This SUV has integrated systems that can help you plan and maximize your fuel consumption. Part of planning your drives ahead of time is avoiding rush hour traffic, something that the Trax’s infotainment system is uniquely equipped to handle with its real-time traffic updates and seamless integration to apps like Google Maps or Waze.
Being proactive about your driving habits not only saves money but also reduces your carbon footprints, overall contributing to a more sustainable driving experience.
