This particularly applies to women when using a car.
That’s why there are many advices from friends, family or car manufacturers about fuel efficiency, engine power and overall lifespan of cars for women who have, are and will have the intention to own a car. However, not all advice is correct.
Cars also hide many things that make people curious and want to explore.
1. Buying a car is an investment
“Asset or liability” is still the main topic when it comes to buying a car. And even though many years have passed, people still argue to defend their personal opinion.
However, according to StarsInsider, it is true that there are cars that become icons over time, but it takes a long time and even a bit of luck. In general, cars depreciate quickly and are rarely considered an investment.
2. Used cars are better than new cars
There is a lot of advice about whether to choose used cars or new cars, and of course each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the situation and preferences of each person.
However, used cars will not have modern safety features like new cars. And of course, a used car cannot give users the feeling of owning a brand new car. This is a subjective feeling but it seems to be quite important for women.
3. Do not drive convertible cars in the rain
Normally, when driving a convertible car and unfortunately it rains, we will stop and open the roof. However, if we drive fast enough, we will not really get wet.
4. Technology improves driving
Technologies such as traction control, lane assistance or sensors can assist us in driving safely but cannot completely replace the driver.
Therefore, pay attention when driving instead of relying on the technology of the cars.
5. Automatic transmissions are less safe than manual transmissions
In fact, modern automatic transmissions are on par with manual transmissions in terms of performance, speed and fuel efficiency. Therefore, this understanding is the next thing that people need to change in their thinking.
6. Turning on the air conditioner saves more fuel than opening the windows
At first glance, it might make sense, but in reality it proves the opposite. Turning on the air conditioner consumes more fuel than opening the car windows.
Turning on the air conditioner consumes more fuel than opening the car windows.
7. Lowering the tailgate of a pickup truck saves fuel
Tests have shown that lowering the tailgate of a pickup truck while driving actually consumes more fuel. A possible alternative is to replace the tailgate with a metal mesh.
8. Regular tuning is good
For used cars, regular checking and tuning to ensure smooth operation is necessary. However, nowadays, cars have computers to take care of that. The computer will notify when there are any signs that need attention.
9. Turning off and on the engine consumes more fuel than idling
However, this depends on whether you own a new or used car. Many cars today are equipped with automatic engine shut-off systems at red lights, which means we can save fuel by turning off the engine.
10. Cold air intake increases engine power
Cooler air is better for the engine than hot air, but the cold air intake hardly affects the performance of the car.
11. SUVs are good for off-road driving
High ground clearance SUVs can handle off-road terrains well, but it should be noted that many SUVs do not have four-wheel drive. Even with four-wheel drive, regular SUVs are still more suitable for normal roads than off-road terrains.
12. Washing the car with dishwashing liquid or laundry detergent
This seems like a good way to save money. However, washing the car with laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid can damage the car’s protective wax layer. Instead of contributing to rust, spend a little more money to buy a specialized car wash liquid designed to not damage the wax layer.
Ladies, spend a little more money to buy a specialized car wash liquid designed to not damage the wax layer.
13. Replacing all 4 tires at once
In reality, the car owner only needs to replace tires individually when needed as long as they have the same brand, model and size. To maximize tire life, just make sure to rotate the tires each time the oil is changed. Also, there is no need to buy new tires if the car has a flat tire. Just patch it up because the patches will prevent moisture from entering the steel rim and restore the airtightness of the tire.
14. Buying gasoline in the morning is more optimal
Gasoline expands due to heat, so many people still believe that refueling with warmer fuel means the car will receive less fuel.
Theoretically, pumping fuel in the morning will be cooler and allow for more fuel to be poured at a lower cost. However, in reality, gasoline is usually stored underground and insulated from temperature changes. Therefore, the refueling time does not really make a difference in the amount of fuel received.
15. The rear cover of the car will not be hit by bullets
When watching action movies, we always see the main characters hiding behind a car to be safe from a downpour of bullets. Unless this is the only option, in normal situations, bullets can still penetrate through the car.
