Efficient Driving Tips

Below are the tips on how to save money while using your car and eventually avoid accident caused by your car’s problem:

  1. Tune up engine regularly. Whether your engine is using gasoline or diesel, you need to tune up your car’s engine regularly. Don’t follow what other car owners do where in they only tune up their car’s engine when they have a long trip. Remember that tuning your car’s engine regularly will help you save money.
  2. Don’t run your car’s engine in normal idling speed in a longer time. Warming up your car’s engine could be done in just a short period of time, maybe from 2 minutes to 4 minutes. Then after that just stop the engine while waiting for the time when you will ride the car.
  3. Run your car on fuel efficient speed. Most of the fuel efficient speed of the car is in between 75 to 90 KPH. So, make use of this feature except of course if you’re in village, town or cities. But if you’re running in highways, then why not run your car at 75 to 90 KPH?
  4. Maintain you car regularly. Follow the regular preventive maintenance program. These actually depends on the car. But most of the cars should be sent to valid mechanics for check up, change oil and other maintenance procedure every 5,000 kilometer run or ever 3 months. Poorly maintained car used up 25% more fuel compared to those well maintained cars.
  5. If you’re driving in cities with heavy traffic. Learn how the right timing in your route to avoid being caught up in traffic and prepare for possible alternative route.
  6. Keep your car speed at steady. Breaking and speeding up costs more fuel. However, anticipating the stops or when to slow down.
  7. Master when to shift higher gear without giving more stress to your car’s engine.
  8. Fill fuel tank early morning. A liter of fuel filled in early morning contains more fuel than air compared to filling fuel at noon when the temperature is hot.
  9. Keep your fuel cap tight. This is to avoid spilling fuel. When filling the tank, don’t overfill it.
  10. Avoid rapid acceleration. Gradual acceleration can save more fuel than rapid acceleration.

Motoristang Pinoy Supports Katrina Halili

I know that some of the motoristang pinoy are fond of watching porrn movies. But I also know that most of them are fathers like me. And as father, they don’t want their daughter to experience what Katrina Halili experienced. So, the motoristang pin0ys truly support the battle of Katrina Halili against Hayden Kho who taped their intimate moments without Katrina’s consent.

Just like what Rep Teodoro Locsin Jr said, “it was halili who became the first victim of the AH1N1 virus here because Dr. Hayden Kho is the AH1N1 virus.

Wearing Helmet

If you’ll ask someone an advice on how to drive motorcycle, the first thing you’ll hear is “wear crash helmet”.

I just couldn’t understand why most of the motorcycle riders don’t want to wear helmet when in fact wearing helmet will not only protect the motorcycle riders during fall out but also will help the rider from any disturbance in riding like wind, dust, insects and other objects that might hit you while riding.

Everytime I use my Honda XRM motorcycle, I always bring with me the helmet. Not just bring the helmet with me, I always wear it on my head not on my hands.

Besides, I make sure that the helmet that I bought and that I am using is the one that passed the standard quality. This kind of helmet might be expensive but it’s an assurance that the helmet will really help me during fall out.

I noticed that there are other motorcycle riders who wear substandard helmet just to comply with the requirements set by the law when riding motorcycle but rejecting the thought of saving themselves during accident.
