Although it has many advantages, the Daihatsu Taruna has one drawback that must be anticipated. Its fuel consumption, which is not very efficient, is that drawback.

This drawback is quite reasonable, considering that the Taruna is a rather old car. Unlike the latest manufactured cars that have their fuel consumption optimized as efficiently as possible.

For friends who own a Daihatsu Taruna, don't worry. Here, we will provide some ways to make your Daihatsu Taruna more fuel-efficient. Some of these methods are as follows!

Regularly Clean the Injector Throttle Body

For friends who own the Daihatsu Taruna C-Series type, this first method can be done. The injector throttle body itself is a component that combines air and fuel. The combination of the two can make fuel consumption efficient and even more economical.

If that component is dirty, the fuel flow of the car will be disrupted. As a result, the fuel will have difficulty mixing with the air, making fuel consumption less efficient. Therefore, it is important to clean the injector throttle body.

Maintain the Nozzle

This one is suitable for the F-Series and OXXY types. This is because both types of cars are injection-based and, of course, have nozzles inside. The nozzle itself has a function that is almost the same as the injector throttle body.

One way to maintain that component is to clean it regularly. Doing this is very important. If it gets dirty, the nozzle will have difficulty supplying fuel. Even if it can, the amount of fuel must be increased. If left unchecked, this will certainly make fuel consumption more wasteful.

Another way to maintain that component is to replace it if it starts to get damaged. One sign that a nozzle needs to be replaced is if it is difficult to clean. Another sign is if it easily produces smoke, especially if the nozzle used is a special nozzle for diesel cars.

Use the Right Fuel

The use of fuel also affects fuel efficiency itself. For the Daihatsu Taruna, we recommend using fuel with an octane rating that matches the engine compression.

Whatever fuel is chosen, make sure to use that fuel continuously. Never change the fuel. Moreover, mixing that fuel.

Many believe that changing or mixing fuel can save fuel consumption. However, this is a misconception. Doing so will only reduce the function of the fuel itself.

Avoid Congested Roads

Another way to make the Taruna fuel-efficient can also be done while driving. When driving, avoid driving on roads that are prone to congestion. Congested roads will cause the car to consume a lot of fuel.

Even if the car is stationary due to congestion. If this happens, it will certainly make fuel consumption wasteful.

Instead, you can drive on relatively clear roads. You can also take shortcuts. If you have to pass through congested roads, make sure to do so outside of peak hours or working hours. Congested roads usually experience traffic jams during those times.

Perform Regular Car Maintenance

The last method that can be done is to perform regular car maintenance. Doing this can keep your car from damaging several components, especially those that help with fuel consumption.

Maintenance can be done at various workshops, from official workshops to general workshops.
