Save on fuel

•Do not use the clutch too much.


•Switch the vehicle off at red light stops.

•Drive in gear corresponding to the speed.

•Get your vehicle serviced regularly.

•A poorly tuned engine can increase fuel consumption by up to 50%

•Driving at 90 kilometers an hour rather than 100 can reduce fuel consumption by 10%

•Under inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 5%

•A loaded roof rack will increase fuel consumption by as much as 5% in highway driving.

•Even an empty roof rack can increase consumption by 1%. If the carrier is not attached to the vehicle, remove it when not in use.

•Avoid "Jack Rabbit" starts, not only do they increase fuel consumption, but are hard on your tires. Anticipating stops and avoiding abrupt stops will decrease fuel consumption and increase the life of your brakes and tires.

•Avoid unnecessary steering wheel movement since each sideward movement of the tire causes fuel-consuming drag.

•Maintain a steady speed.

•Accelerate slowly on gravel or slippery roads.

•Avoid unnecessary braking.

•Reviving the engine just before turning off the ignition costs extra fuel and may cause engine damage.

•Take advantage of rolling resistance rather than heavy braking to help slow you down. This deceleration technique is one of the best for fuel saving.

•Avoid using the air conditioner at lower speeds.

•Changing spark plugs regularly can save a lot.
 

General maintanance tips

 Maintenance Tips


A well maintained vehicle speaks volumes about you as an owner. More importantly, it will not desert you when you need it most. Read on for tips on specifics.

Engine Oil: To prevent engine deterioration, it is imperative that the engine maintains the amount of oil it is programmed to receive. Negligence in this aspect will lead to a deteriorating engine performance, resulting in falling mileage.

Fuses: Most Indian cars are made with an integrated circuitry system that use fuses. Knowledge of the system would help when you are stranded due to a blown fuse.

Lights: It is important for the lights to be properly focused, for your own and for the oncoming vehicle's safety. Travel on low beam so that it does not obstruct your view instead of helping you along.

Tyre Pressure: The required amount of air pressure needs to be strictly maintained if your car is to get the right mileage and pick-up.

Water: If your engine uses water for cooling, take care to ensure that it is regularly changed. Water can also be used for cleaning the windshield.

Some other tips...

•Get your vehicle serviced only at authorized service stations

•Check the engine oil level once every two weeks. Also check the levels of coolant and water in the radiator and battery.

•Always use genuine spare parts.

•Give your vehicle anti-rust coating before the monsoons.

•Avoid accelerating and braking abruptly.

•Shut up the engine whenever you expect to wait.

•Drive at a moderate speed of 45-55 km/h to maximize fuel efficiency.

•Use air-conditioning only when necessary.

•Avoid riding on the clutch pedal, and release the clutch pedal fully while driving.

•Maintain optimum air pressure in your tyre to improve mileage

Tv harmful to toddler

Watching TV makes toddlers fatter and stupider Watching television makes kids less intelligent and more likely to put on weight, according to a new research.


In the study, scientists found that the more television children watched aged two-and-a-half the worse they were at mathematics, the more junk food they ate, and the more they were bullied by other pupils.
As part of the research, study`s lead author Dr Linda Pagani, of Montreal University, and her colleagues followed 1,314 children born in the Canadian state of Quebec in 1997 and 1998.
Parents were asked to report how much television their offspring watched aged 29 and 53 months, and teachers evaluated their academic, psycho-social and health habits when they reached the age of 10.
On average the two-year-olds watched 8.8 hours a week and the four-year-olds 14.8 hours.
Pagani and her research team found that for every extra hour of TV a week the two-year-olds watched there was a 6 per cent decrease in maths achievement, a 7 per cent decrease in classroom engagement, and a 10 per cent increase in ‘victimisation’ by peers, such as teasing, rejection and assault.
Each extra hour also corresponded with 9 per cent less exercise, consumption of 10 per cent more snacks, and a 5 per cent rise in body mass index.
Researchers said that pre-school is a critical time for brain development and that TV watching displaced time that could be spent engaging in `developmentally enriching tasks`.

Pagani said that even incremental exposure to TV delayed development.

`Although we expected the impact of early TV viewing to disappear after seven-and-a-half years of childhood, the fact that negative outcomes remained is quite daunting,` the Independent quoted her as saying.
The study has been published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
