Our war era must be stuffed to survive.

Understandably, the situation is very worrying about the news of the war in the Middle East and the soaring price of oil in our homes. Let me analyze the situation in a friendly and straightforward way:

1. Will oil "run out" of the world?

The answer is "not exhausted." The main problem is not that the oil in the soil is exhausted, but that of "transportation routes" and "uncertainty."

Important risk: If Iran closes, the Strait of Hormuz, which is one fifth of the world's oil passes, will make crude oil unexportable.

Impact: World oil prices will rise immediately (some bureaux expect to reach $100 a barrel), but the oil is still available, just temporarily unavailable.

2.Thailand's oil stock: How many days will it be used?

The government and the energy agency have confirmed that Thailand has oil reserves in times of crisis.

Reserve Period: The latest data indicate that Thailand has oil reserves (both crude oil and finished oil) for about 60-70 days if there is an emergency that cannot be imported at all.

So: In short, oil will not be so scarce that it is not available to fill, but the big problem is the "price" we have to pay, sir.

3. Analyze the Thai government's role: Why can't it control prices?

The feeling that the government is not handling well has a place to go. The reasons why it is difficult for the government to control oil prices are as follows:

Price structure: Thailand imports more than 90% of the demand for crude oil. When global market prices hit because of the war, our costs hit immediately, so the government couldn't control this exterior.

Negative Oil Fund: In the past, the public sector used money from the "Fuel Fund" to subsidize us for a long time to use cheaper things than the truth, so that today the state of the fund is very negative, so that there is no budget to support the price.

Limited choice: If the gas excise tax is reduced, the government will lack revenue for other projects, becoming a difficult tail-eating snake.

4. War View (U.S.-Israel-Iran)

U.S.: Try to reinvigorate oil prices from soaring too high because they will hit domestic inflation and popular vote

Iran: Holding the key card is the threat of closing the Strait of Hormuz, the most radical economic bargaining tool.

In a nutshell: oil is not exhausted, but it will be more expensive, of course, from the risk of war, and the Thai government is facing a "cracking tank" of oil funds, making it increasingly difficult to adjust prices.

When price is an uncontrollable factor, we have to instead control the behavior and integrity of the car, which will save money in the pocket as a result:

1.Adjust driving behavior (help 10-20%)

Keep the pedal still: The pedal of the accelerator, or the sudden brake, often wastes a lot of oil, trying to keep the speed stable (about 80-90 km / h is the most economical range).

Reduce parking: If you have to wait longer than 2-3 minutes, quenching and starting again is more economical than leaving the idler.

Spaced: Spacing from the front car prevents us from braking often, and the "throttle withdrawal" method can be used to slow the car instead of pressing the brakes hard.

2. Care for car conditions (heart)

Tire wind must be exact: Check the tire at least once a week. The tire wind is too weak to cause the car to become viscous and consume 3-5% more oil. (Fill by specification on the side of the car door)

Remove the unnecessary: The heavier the car, the harder the machine works, try to clear the trunk of the car. Many kilograms of unused items consume our oil.

Air Filter Must Be Clean: If Filter Tons, Air Intake Less, Combustion Incomplete, Waste More Oil

3. Plan a trip

Total Excursion: If you have to go to multiple places, put the plan in one round. Don't drive many times.

Routes: Use Google Maps to check traffic conditions before departure, bypass traffic jams because immersion is a waste gas dump.

4. Air technique

Adjust temperature: Do not adjust to extreme cold, because the air compressor consumes a lot of engine power. If the weather is not very hot, try to adjust the temperature by 1-2 degrees, reducing the load a lot.

5.Use the application to help check the price

Check the price before filling: Follow the oil price page or app (such as Blue Card, Bangchak) to see if tomorrow the price will go up or down. If going up, you can quickly fill the tank before evening.

What kind of car do you use primarily (private cars, motorcycles or delivery cars) can I introduce more specific techniques?

I use the Isuzu D-Max, a 2.5 (2,500 cc) machine, old or JK (VGS Turbo), which is already a car known for its economy, but with a heavy pickup truck and a diesel engine, there are unique techniques that save money in my pocket:

1.Engine cycle is heart (RPM)

The most economical range: Try to keep the cycle speed in the range of 1,500 to 2,000 rpm. Yes, Isuzu's 2.5 diesel will have good torque during this period, no need to drag it high.

Shifting: If it's a manual gear, get up to the high gear (4th or 5th) as fast as possible when the car is not jerking. Driving low gear with a high cycle consumes a lot of oil.

2. The tire wind must be "stiffer" than the saloon.

Pickup trucks have wide tires and carry a lot of weight. If the wind is weak, it will be very viscous.

Instructions: Inflate the tires according to the manual (usually around 32-35 PSI for the front wheels and 35-40 PSI for the rear wheels if loaded). Inflating the tires harder than the standard value of 1-2 PSI will actually help the car rise and save fuel.

3. Care for "solar filter" and "air filter"

The 2.5 diesel needs clean air and oil for complete combustion.

Solar Filter: If a ton, the machine will flatter and consume more oil. It should be changed by distance (every 40,000 km).

Air Filter: Pickup trucks often wade through a lot of dust. If the filter is "panting" and eating oil, take it off and blow it often, or replace it if it's very black.

4. "Flow by the current" driving style

Don't tickle the ass: Big and heavy pickup, frequent braking, and then have to press the accelerator to release a new oil waste.

Inertia: When you see a red light far ahead, immediately withdraw the throttle and let the car flow on its own without stepping on the brakes until needed. This method reduces the use of a lot of oil.

5. Avoid carrying "giveaways"

Many people like to put heavy things on their back pickup without needing. Every 50 kilograms of extra weight will make them eat about 1-2% more oil. What is not used to put them all down?

6. Choose to add oil to the right rhythm

CROSS PRICE TOMORROW: Oil prices normally announce evening (around 5 p.m.) whether tomorrow will rise or fall.

If tomorrow is up, fill the tank today.

If tomorrow is down, wait to press to fill tomorrow morning instead.
