5 driving habits that make users lose money unjustly

Always keep your left foot on the brake pedal.

One of the most common driving mistakes involves keeping your left foot on the brake pedal while driving. Most people don’t realize this because the car can still move until the clutch wears out. Worse, this habit can even affect the control of the car, causing the engines in the wheels to not operate at full capacity. Taking your foot off the brake pedal while driving makes the clutch last twice as long.

Improper starting of car in cold weather

In winter, people often have the habit of quickly getting into the car and warming up the cold engine. On the positive side, this will help you warm up the engine quickly, which is why many people have this habit. But on the negative side, it will destroy the car's engine over time and even cause irreparable damage. The reason is that a cold car engine does not have the lubrication oil to run at full capacity. Even with new generation cars, it takes at least 30 seconds from starting to driving. This helps users save fuel and improve the quality of engine performance.

No tire pressure adjustment

Not many people pay enough attention to the pressure of their tires, and even this should be done regularly at least twice a month. Proper tire care not only helps optimize fuel economy, but can also save lives in emergency situations. Research the ideal pressure for your car's tire type and check it weekly, this ensures that the tire does not put stress on the system and transmission, as well as prolonging the life of the car and tires.

Drive economically

Many people, when they see the fuel line has reached the red level, still do not want to refuel because they think the car can still run. But this small action seems to cost users a lot of money on engine maintenance. The reason is that many modern cars today have fuel pumps located deep at the bottom of the fuel tank, low fuel levels cause the pump to work harder to get enough fuel into the engine. Moreover, in fact, most of the pollutants in the fuel settle at the bottom of the tank, draining the tank will cause your engine to absorb more harmful substances.

Turn the car on and off frequently

This may not affect the performance of the car, but it can seriously affect the fuel tank and the air conditioning, which are some of the most expensive parts of the car. Turning the engine off and on again puts pressure on the compressor. While this may save fuel in the short term, in the long run it will damage the engine and cost the user more money in maintenance.
