The primary aim of this book is to assist the reader in making decisions that will help him save a lot of money on petrol.
A lot of people in developing countries buy fairly used vehicles. Most of these vehicles have been driven for over one hundred thousand miles or one hundred and sixty thousand kilometer and therefore are already subject to a lot of wear and tear. This greatly increases the maintenance and runing cost of these vehicles.
The current cost of fuel is high relative to the income of the average car owner and the cost of petrol keeps increasing every other year. To improve their profit margin, importers of refined fuel often do not import the highest grade of fuel.
The bottom line is that several factors conspire to make an arleady difficult situation more unberable. As a vehicle owner, the best thing to do is to increase your knowledge of the factors that affect the fuel consumtion of your vehicle so that you can make optimal decisions on how to counter these issues in a way best tailored to your particular circumstance.
The secondary aim of this book is to educate the average driver on aspects of the vehicle that should be kown to him and how to manage the maintenance of his vehicle in a way that is practical and cost effective. This is because quite a lot of vehicles owners cannot afford to repair their vehicles in specialist shops and have to resort to the proverbial road side mechanics.
The road side mechanics deserve special thanks from vehicle owners because without them most cars will not be on the road. Though many of them have limited education, experince has proven that a lot of them are very intelligent. The main reason they fail to repair modern vehicles is because they lack informaton and proper training.
To repair a modern automobile, you need information on the general design of the several subsystems that make up the vehicle as well as the manufacture specific data and tools.
It is my hope that you, the vehicle owner, will be able to educate yourself in order to provide certain critical information to your own mechanic in a non confrontational manner, as well as obtain some service tools for your vehicle so that you can achieve the service quality of specialist shops at an affordable price.
However, should you need accurate technical information, please consult your vehicle technical manual or other educational materials on the subject.
The author will consider this book a success if its entertaining enough to make you laugh at certain issues you may no doubt have encountered in the course of driving and servicing your vehicle.
Finally, your response to the ideas, topics, concepts or errors presented in this book will be highly appreciated.
