Automobiles have become integral part of our life. The necessity of vehicles can't be ignored in present scenario. With the pace of time whole world is really shrinking and we may just exclaim,kudos to Karl BenzWho gifted us such a important thing!

It's well said that you must be mechanic of what you posses. Thus you really have to be that one.

First point that always strikes our mind when we talk of automobiles is the mileage.
We always get worried , When the fuel economy increases. We often try to find out various reasons for increased fuel economy too!
I would suggest few simple points that surely help you to have a good mileage.
These are as following:

(1)Drive only when it's necessary. Suppose if you have to meet a friend who lives just 200ms away from you then should better go on foot.

(2) Heavy cars always consume more fuel as compared to it's counterpart. So it's better to go for a lighter car. In fact all of us know that a heavier body have more kinetic energy as compared with a lighter body with same speed. So when we use a heavier car, more fuel is consumed ...
... for having same speed as compared to that of a lighter car.

(3) Always drive in the economy zone,as indicated on your speedometer. In fact if you drive in economic zone, it gives less pressure to your engine.

(4)Follow the guidelines and Car repair manuals of your service provider. You must go for servicing of your automobiles regularly. This helps you to retain endurance of engines.
(5)Using cruise control really helps you to get a moderate fuel economy,as it helps you to drive with constant speed.
(6)You should accelerate smoothly, as lower revolutions per minute(RPM) saves fuel in lighter autos.
(7)You should avoid too much braking. Use the brakes only when you need it.
(8)Your tires must be properly inflated. Studies reveal that properly inflated tires give you 3% more fuel efficiency as compared to tires with improper inflation.
(9)Engine air filter should be cleaned regularly. An unclean air filter reduces mileage to a great extent.
(10)Excessive idling really increases fuel consumption of your automobile. So it is better to turn off engine when you are in a heavy traffic.

(11)You should select the narrowest possible Tyre. This is because narrow tires have less frontal area ,thus it prevents from more aerodynamics drag.
(12) Always keep in touch with good Auto experts , for a smooth ride.
