 Introduction PCRA

1973 : Oil crisis world over

Study team : Engineers from IOCL, NPC, DGTD
estimated huge oil conservation potential in industries
& STUs

Study results : Conservation potential of 20-30%

6th Jan 76 : Petroleum Conservation Action Group
(PCAG) formed

10th Aug78 : PCAG reconstituted as Petroleum
Conservation Research Association (PCRA) and
registered as a society under MOP&NG, Government
of India

 Safety while Driving

At least 13 people die every hour in road accidents in the

country

latest report of the National Crime Records Bureau reveals.
In 2013, 1.40 lakh people in India lost their lives in road
mishaps .

globally over 1.2 million people die in road accidents every
year and 20-25 million people suffer non-fatal injuries.

Indias Vehicle population is 1% of World whereas 10 %
Accidents happen in India.

14 deaths per 10,000 vehicles as compared to 1.6 of USA

 Save Diesel

How to make every drop last longer

Drive between 45-55 Km/Hr at TOP GEAR. The

faster you go, the more wind resistance your
vehicle will face. If you go at speeds above 60
Km/H, you will waste fuel. Tests on Indian
Vehicles prove that you can get up to 40 %
extra mileage at 45-55 Km/H as against 80
Km/H.
Remember
 Avoid accelerating or decelerating unnecessarily.

 Tests show that a reduction in speed leads to

no appreciable rise in commuting time. Much
less than what most people think.

 Keep your engine healthy

Tests on a large number of Vehicles prove that

you can save as much as 6% by tuning your
Vehicle regularly. If your engine emits black
smoke, has poor pulling power or consumes large
quantities of oil, get it checked immediately at a
reputed garage. A delay, may prove more
expensive in terms of petrol and oil as compared
to the cost of an overhaul.

Remember

Get your Vehicle serviced at every 5000 kms.

While starting the Vehicle..

Press clutch in Neutral

gear while starting the
Vehicle.

Keep your Foot off the Clutch

Use clutch only when you change

gears. Riding the clutch causes loss of
energy and damages clutch-linings.

Remember
Use your handbrake when stopped on
an upgrade and dont forget to release
it when restarting.
Dont manipulate the clutch and
accelerator to stay stationary because
it wastes fuel.

16

Drive in the Correct Gear

Incorrect gear shifting can lead to as much as

20% increase in fuel consumption. Start your
Vehicle in the 1st gear only, except if you are
going downhill then engage the 2nd gear.

Remember
For city driving, change to a higher gear when
you are sure the engine will not struggle. Get
into top gear as soon as possible.

Use same gear for uphill and downhill

journey.

17

Clean Air Filter Regularly

Air filter prevents dust from Fouling the

engine. Dust causes rapid wear of
engine components and increases fuel
consumption.

Remember

Cylinder bore wears out 45 times

faster in engines without air-
18
cleaners.

Watch Your Tyre Pressure

Under-inflated tyre increase rolling

resistance, which leads to higher fuel
consumption.

Remember

Tests show that a 25% decrease in tyre

pressure can cost you 5-10% more on
fuel and 25% on tyre life.
19

 Use the Recommended
grade of oil

Check the Vehicle manual and oil

manufacturers recommendations, before
using any particular grade of oil. Always
use multi-grade oil for added
benefits. Normally change your Vehicle
engine oil as recommended by OEMs
Remember

Change oil filter along with engine oil.
