Fuel-efficient Driving Secrets From Hung Lam

The first leg of this first day, we will move from Buon Ma Thuot to Da Lat. From morning to noon, we travel about 110 kilometers to the lunch spot. In the afternoon we will continue to run 100 more trees to reach Da Lat. The road from Buon Ma Thuot to the lunch stop can be said to be quite difficult. It was also unlike the previous times we attended.

This time, the road is quite steep. Going in Buon Ma Thuot city is not too difficult because the road here is quite empty. However, when we started to go out, we would have to go up a winding hill. And it's really not easy to say that it's not easy to go thrifty with the way that you go uphill and downhill like this.

Going on a pass like this and keeping Cruise Control is very difficult, really difficult. It's also a very difficult thing to do on a small pass, but to keep the throttle even and reduce the brake sound as much as possible, but I will try to minimize the brake as much as possible. Hopefully no surprises on the way. That, it's not simple to brake, you have to brake. Try to go without braking, you will definitely have to brake. And braking like that makes a bit of a disadvantage because we have to start the gas again, spending a little more gas.

Yes, we have reached the finish line of the first leg of the first day. And my fuel consumption is 4.4 liters, a number that can be said, I think is not bad. There have been many reports to each other that there are runners much better than this. But with me 4.4 liters I can be in the top 3. Hopefully won't break out of the top 3, hopefully. At this first stage, I did not expect the road to be so difficult and complicated. I thought at first this first stage I only ran under 4 liters but did not expect this number to exceed 4 liters. Of course, I still maintain my tactic of running Cruise Control from the beginning. While still in Buon Ma Thuot city, I tried to push the car to a speed of 40 km/h and maintain the Cruise Control right from the city.

But when going out and going to the steep pass, it is really surprising that there is a lot of braking. And the number has increased because there are a lot of steep climbs but I also tried to stay as low as possible. Finally at the end of stage 1, the figure of 4.4 liters for 100 km is not too bad a number compared to all the participants in the competition today. And even I think it's a top 3 number for the first leg of the first day, which isn't bad.

 Well now we start to continue the 2nd leg of the first day and the destination is Da Lat city. This road is not too difficult but also not easy, there is still a bit of a pass. Especially when we get to the highway, through the highway, we will have to climb uphill to get to Da Lat. Certainly it will be difficult with fuel economy. Yes, the roads are bumpy and steep, but I still try to keep the accelerator steady.

Well, to this highway, I don't want to run too fast, I will leave Cruise Control at 50 km / h to optimize fuel consumption. Hope it will be fine. A lot of cars have passed my car but I think with this tactic I can finish with a very small number. This steep climb is almost going to be very fuel-consuming. Hope it will be fine. Try your best. Yes and now we are at our destination in Da Lat and my fuel consumption is 5.3 liters with a distance of a little over 100 trees, not too bad. Hopefully with this fuel consumption I will compete for first and second place with everyone, I believe. With this level of consumption, it can be said that it is okay with this road. It is true that the Jazz car is more economical, but when climbing uphill, 5.3 liters for 100 km like this is too good. Getting to the second leg from the lunch stop to Da Lat city is actually quite a difficult road. Because in the first few paragraphs, there were people who ran, some people even reached the number of 2 liters per 20 trees. Why is that? Because it climbs steeply from the very beginning. Yes it was very difficult, and on my car I tried from the beginning but also climbed up to 100 liters for the first 10 km. At that time, it was really confusing as to why this car used so much gas.

Am I running wrong? It's really not like that. Due to the steep climb. When we climbed to the top and down the hill, we really changed our tactics. At that time, its number had decreased quite a lot, but when it reached the highway and ended the highway, it had to climb uphill to continue, the number it climbed again. When I got to the middle of the highway, the meter said it was about 4 liters. Very happy, but when climbing uphill to the top of Da Lat mountain to the first stop, my car was 5.3 liters per 100 km. This is actually not a bad number. At first I still thought it was pretty high. But after researching, I found that this is not a bad number with the common ground of the participants. I am confident that the first day of competition with this Honda Jazz car, I will definitely have a prize. Even if I don't get the first and second place, at least I can be the third.

Yes, it's already day 2. Da Lat is rainy and relatively cold. But after moving down to Nha Trang, it is probably hot, the climate changes constantly. With the first leg on the 2nd day I will move about 110 trees. But it will be a very good road. Going from Da Lat will be going downhill almost continuously, so I expect to be very fuel efficient. Hopefully I'll be driving this CRV with just under 4 liters. Hopefully so because the distance from Da Lat down is almost like we don't need to climb uphill, downhill continuously, just how to keep and maintain the most economical consumption. In this case, I will not choose the solution of mo and brake like that will be very dangerous, very very dangerous. You should never return home and let loose and apply the brakes. I will not go fast, I will keep the speed as low as possible to keep the fuel consumption time as low as possible. Cruise Control will still be used but perhaps not as much during this leg. Try to see if this strategy is okay? Crab sleeve quite a lot. In short, at this downhill stage, you also have to brake a lot. Braking is relatively much but not simple at all. But maybe it was this brake that was lucky. There are also many steep climbs here. Not simple at all. There is down and there is up. Of course, up very little, down a lot.

Wow go all the way 3.5 liters. Yes, an unbelievable number. That's how the slope is gone. Now definitely have to take the flat road and the number is sure to increase. But after pouring all the passes, the number of 3.5 liters is also very impressive. It's 3.5 liters. But almost we don't have to increase the throttle much. Attempting this level ramp will maintain Cruise Control so it doesn't increase too much. If it increased to more than 4 liters, it would be difficult to win the prize. Come on, go ahead, you have to brake again. Yes, it's already 0,1 more expensive, sorry. If you remember last year, I won the first prize and the difference with the second person was 0.008 or 0.007, it was less than 0.1 liter. About to stop and hope not to increase. Well 110 kilometers and 3.9 liters. Not bad at all 3.9 liters for a not bad figure for 110 km for this Honda CRV 1.5 Turbo.

The trip from Da Lat to Nha Trang is quite steep from the mountain down. And our car set a pretty good fuel economy on the first leg of day 2. My CRV reached 3.9 liters per 100 trees. And it must be said that without the slope from Da Lat, it is almost impossible to reach this number. But I changed tactics a bit. Instead of running without brakes I braked quite a bit but not about N and brakes. If you go back to N, you'll die, because if the brake is locked or the brake is burnt, you will immediately jump down the cliff or into the mountain. Very dangerous, you should never do that. I still leave the gear even still in Cruise Control when not braking, And I use the gearshift paddles. Every time the car goes too fast, I will step on the brake again to make the most moderate speed so that the fuel consumption meter is always in the smallest state and even it returns to mo the longest. If you go fast, it will go very fast and if you go too slow, the clock will increase again. And actually in these parts I am quite stressed because going downhill is quite dangerous and always have to keep that and limit the regrettable excesses. But actually in the first paragraph of this 2nd day really I ran very well and the fuel consumption was 3.9 liters. It's really ideal and I believe no one can run such an ideal number and I believe with the 2st race I will finish first on the XNUMXnd day with this CRV.

Yes and now continue the 2nd leg from the lunch stop to Nha Trang. This section will not have any slope at all, but we have to run on a flat road. I will hide from the wind in the container truck ahead. The opponents were all running Cruise Control and did not brake to apply my chosen strategy. The container guy in front of him walks very, very well, and hides from the wind. This guy is really too good. Nearly all situations ahead of him read extremely well from speed to obstacles. It's almost like I'm slowing down manually, very smooth and smooth, no jerks at all.

Naturally meeting this container guy will probably be the key point for me to win this round. I have a determination that with this CRV I will win, but with the Jazz, I think I can't. This CRV I'm going to try is to get number one. According to him, the container obviously didn't brake, but he covered the wind and helped push my car forward. The speedometer has dropped. And now it has reduced to 3,9 liters already. Wow unbelievable. I don't think this car can go down to 3,9 liters on the road. Unbelievable, not at all downhill on the road. Obviously hiding behind the container is too standard. I am confident this trip I will win the first prize with this CRV 1.5 Turbo. Oh, the light is red, it doesn't take any fuel to go home. Going into Nha Trang city is too crowded, I don't think it's stuck in traffic. Turning off is not quite but the traffic jam is too crowded. It's already up, 4.1 already. Hope not up too. If you turn off the road like this, you should run a little bit to 5. A few liters lost. Then the red light is green again. Traffic jams and continuous red and green lights. Come on, it's 4.2. Which car should move first, oh the road is too crowded. Still 4.2 don't go up anymore, it's almost there, it's almost there. 4.3 then coming to the finish line and then another 0.1 again. 4.3 already. Arrived. Here it is. Then 100 4.3 liters is not bad at all. 4.3 liters for 100 km. Well hopefully I'll win first place with this CRV. 4.3 liters is indeed not bad.

With the second leg in the afternoon of this second day, when running from the stop to Nha Trang city with a distance of about 2 km, all are long roads and flat roads with no slopes. Initially I thought with this CRV I would run about 2 liters or 100 liters but I used a pretty cool trick that still includes running Cruise Control, still including not braking and balancing the car and not turning on the screen. save electricity as much as possible. In addition, I also use another tactic that is hiding from the wind. Yes, a tactic that Formula 4.9 drivers or car racers often use.

And I hid behind him the container was quite big and maintained a distance of about 50 kilometers, more than 50 kilometers were all smooth and without braking. And there was almost no accident because the container truck driver drove too well. The deceleration is extremely soft and the acceleration is also extremely soft. And almost when I ran in that section I was supported to reduce friction and pushed by someone and because of that, the fuel consumption was extremely good. I finally finished with 4.3 liters. There was a time when I went down quite deep, but when I got to Nha Trang city, there was a traffic jam and the red light was green, so the fuel consumption increased quite a lot. But the number 4.3 I think it will be difficult for anyone to surpass this number and I am completely confident that I won first place on this 2nd day with the Honda CRV.

Summarizing the 2 stages of the competition, I won 2 second prizes with 2 sets of prizes, which are Sony speakers. A result I don't think is bad, even though I had originally planned to win a first prize and a second prize. But that's okay, 2 second prizes is a great result. Thank you Honda Vietnam for sponsoring this program for reporters to experience very good and fuel-efficient cars as well as explore beautiful roads. Hopefully Honda Vietnam will regularly organize this program more so we can experience more. This video ends and see you in more videos.
