It was the first day of production overview school. Besides having it at a nearby premier Residence place, taking the time off the office hours wasn’t so bad after all. Even though the base load remained, majority attempted their best to appreciate the opportunity. I took the time to get to know more people especially the familiar ones.

How to save some gas:

1) Unless you have a brand new Toyota that captures some energy from the braking, try to delay your braking as much as possible as long as you’re within the safety distance. Don’t delay your braking as soon as your safety distance diminishes. Simply minimize braking and do not ‘waste’ the energy that you have used to accelerate the vehicle. Use the momentum to let the car rolls.

2) Maintain the speed for as long as you can. Since there is no additional work being done to accelerate and overcome the weight of the car, the fuel burnt is optimally used to overcome other things like frictions, air resistance and etc.

3) For manual cars, using proper gears for appropriate speed and acceleration saves you a lot of engine work hence the fuel. Manually override the automatic transmission if you think the engine is doing too much work resulting from inappropriate gear shifting (i.e from D to 2 or L).

These are just a few of them. I’m sure you can think of a several more. Have fun!
