Discover the incredible trick to make your fuel tank last as long as possible!

Due to inflation, fuels have reached unimaginable prices since the beginning of 2022. Which put more than one Frenchman in a precarious position. For millions of people, the car is essential to get to work. The fuels are then a big hole in the budget. A hole big enough not to allow some people to finish the end of the month. If we don’t know what to do with the price of petrol, we’ll help you with tips on how to save.

Choose the right time to refuel

It may surprise you, but depending on when or when you fill up, you lose money. In fact, the fuels you put in your vehicle are not always the same. You may not know it, but depending on when you fill up, the quality of the gas is not the same. We give you an example for better understanding. It is highly recommended to refuel in the morning. The reason is simple. Temperatures are cool at night. As a result, the stored fuel cools down. However, when it’s cold, it’s denser. When refueling, one liter of fuel really is one liter of fuel.

Does that seem normal to you? Maybe, but that’s not always the case. When the fuels are hotter, they are more volatile. They therefore tend to evaporate faster. You then refuel, of course, but with less fuel. Also, do not go straight to the pump after a tanker has filled the pumps. Because when the pumps are being filled, the fuel mixes with the encrusted dirt. This dirt ends up in your car if you’re the first. Don’t panic, it’s safe for the vehicle. But you get more dirt and less gas. The price, on the other hand, will be the same.

Save fuel when starting your vehicle

Another trick is to start driving without accelerating. It only takes a few meters, of course you have to accelerate at some point. But not when you start your car. Walk a few meters before shifting up a gear. Why ? Quite simply because an engine that runs at full speed from the first few seconds uses more fuel. Therefore, and in general, avoid suddenly accelerating or braking while driving. Because it means you use more fuel.

It is also advisable to check the condition of your tires. First of all simply because it is important to drive with tires in good condition, well inflated and not damaged. Your safety is at stake. When the tires are worn or have lower pressure, in addition to safety, they generate excessive fuel consumption.

Finally, on the Autobahn, driving at 110 km/h instead of 130 km/h allows for major savings. So if you’re not in a hurry and willing to waste a few minutes, give it a try. You will notice very quickly that you go to the terminal less.

Gasoline prices are historic…

We remember the fury of the Yellow Vests who find themselves on the streets fighting rising prices. Especially the fuel prices. At that time, the price per liter was 1.50 euros. Today it seems ridiculous to know that many petrol pumps exceed 2 euros per liter. But the yellow vests came before the Covid-19 health crisis and before the major geopolitical crisis in Ukraine. These two events are the origin of the sudden and surprising but logical price increase. The government must spend to help the French emerge from a period of uncertainty.
