Answer 2

Answer:

Here are some ways in which we can reduce the use of petrol :

1. Avoid Long Idling

The worst mileage a vehicle can get is 0 mpg, which occurs when it idles. Idling for long periods of time, whether at a railroad crossing or pulling off the road to make a cell phone call, consumes gas that could be saved by simply turning off the engine. Restarting an engine uses about the same amount of gas as idling for 30 seconds. When idling for longer periods of time, shut off the engine. However, turning off the engine may disable vehicle functions, including safety features like airbags. Drivers should be certain to only utilize this strategy in situations where there is no possibility of collision.

2. Get a Fleet Fuel Card

A fuel management program controls fuel expense by limiting the grade of fuel purchased and other non fuel-related items. Fuel card exception reports can help to identify purchases of more gallons of fuel than the capacity of the fuel tank, which may indicate that a driver is fueling another vehicle or storing fuel in gas canisters for personal use. They can also monitor multiple refuelings during the weekend and too-frequent refueling that doesn't correspond with a vehicle's mpg. {+PAGEBREAK+}

3. Clean Out the Truck and Eliminate Unnecessary Weight

Cars and trucks get much better mileage when they're not loaded with unnecessary weight. Every 200 lbs. of additional weight trims one mile off fuel efficiency. Most drivers accumulate material in their trunks, some of it non-required. Instruct drivers to remove all unnecessary items from the vehicle, such as unneeded tools or materials.
