Fuel fanatic – Hypermilers could be dangerous
Posted by Cash for Clunkers on January 03rd, 2010There are some very bad advice, which greetings to improve fuel economy. I recently saw the article in the Washington Post. And he talked about the strategy guide called Hypermiling.
Although some of how the proposed technique is useful and legitimate to save, how to be gentle on the gas and the gas, others simply dangerous.
The job description of this particular method of Hypermiling to save fuel. It describes the people that the changes to improve their driving mileage and reduce emissions of hypermilers.
This can be used to describe the environment to save (more…)
Lowest temperature your fuel economy
Posted by Cash for Clunkers on September 21st, 2009Winter conditions, so the pressure great car and their driving skills.
Winter to your fuel economic pressure. To prevent the fuel you need to drop some specific questions about your car, your driving in winter.
A key feature of the two winters, low temperature, to create conditions to reduce fuel consumption. Using a cold start vehicles more fuel a car warm. More fuel efficient car in the cold when you start to use.
In cold weather, the vehicle’s engine, it is difficult to start. Dense oil in the car, cold, and therefore require more energy to make it mobile. Of all affected by this dense oil lubricated parts require more energy to move them.

More energy means more fuel to move the parties. Your engine will use more fuel to run until it warms up.
Cold temperatures also affect other parts of your car.
Bearings, couplings, transmission, power-assisted brakes, steering mechanisms, require more energy and will, when they are cold. These mechanisms depend on (more…)
The benefits and importance of fuel economy with high
Posted by Cash for Clunkers on September 06th, 2009Gas prices continue to rise, no end in sight. This trend will further highlight for everyone to buy more fuel efficient cars needs. A car with good fuel economy, not only to help save money, but also a fixed part of the environment.
The fuel economy of a formal definition of what is the need for natural gas, to make certain distance. In the U.S., fuel economy is a measure of miles per gallon, while the rest of the world, especially in liters per 100 kilometers.
These measurement systems are very different in the United States system is more optimal, while the lowest number is required in the metric system (low number of 100 km of travel required to reduce the amount of fuel).
Governments are taking fuel economy into a known and important is to establish a standardized (more…)
