Fuel injection is a replacement for the carburetors that were around since the dawn of the automobile. There are many basic types of fuel injection, but we should start by saying what a fuel injector is - it's basically an atomizer, something that sprays a mist of gasoline into the air. This helps the gas to mix better with the air and stay in an even suspension, so that it burns more evenly and creates less pollution and more power. (Think of cooking spray vs.

It is worthwhile to note that the Chalet is a prime example of 1970's technology, or rather, lack thereof. While it features electronic ignition and power steering and might have cruise control, you should not expect the luxuries of today's vehicles. This includes fuel economy. Between a big V8 engine, and an aerodynamic coefficient of a brick, you should expect single-digit mileage. Driving style also affects mileage; above, say, 65MPH, you can watch the gas guage drop.

EPA estimates are based on laboratory tests conducted by manufacturers according to federal regulations. EPA re-tests about 10% of vehicle models to confirm manufacturer's results. For more detailed information, visit our page on How Vehicles Are Tested.

If your fuel economy is excessively low, your vehicle may need to be serviced or repaired. You may want to contact your dealer or a reputable repair facility to check your vehicle.

That depends on how big a cliff you push it off of! Seriously, it varies quite a bit, depending on speed, wind, and fuel type. We can depend on a solid 18 liters/100 kilometers (13 miles/gallon) over long Interstate highways at 100 k/h (65 m/h). We've calculated as good as 16 l/100km (15 m/g) at highway speeds with a nice tail wind. Biodiesel seems to be slightly less, straight vegetable oil (SVO) seems to be slightly more.

Ans 16: Fuel economy depends on many factors including light/heavy right-footed, urban/long distance, etc. However some guidance can be obtained from the fuel information gathered from members on "fuel information" page at Technical

You have to ask??? Seriously, the more "stock" the engine is, the better the mpg. You could get 14-18 mpg out of a low horsepower 390, but with 550 bhp, you'll probably get 8 mpg. If you want the best reliability, stick with a stock engine. Unless you throw a lot of money at an engine, higher horsepower will always result in higher maintenance.

No test can accurately predict fuel economy for all drivers and all driving conditions. Driver behavior, driving conditions, vehicle maintenance, fuel characteristics, weather, and other factors can all affect fuel economy significantly as explained here.

Immediately after the injection, you may feel your upper extremity getting warm. In addition, you may notice that your pain may be gone or quite less. You may also notice "a lump in the throat" as well as hoarse voice, droopy and red eye, and some nasal congestion on the side of the injection. You may also develop a headache.

Most questions can be answered through a review of the information on the National Biodiesel Board website located www.biodiesel.org.

You will notice skin texture changes three to six months after your first treatment. Fine and wrinkles will become less visible and will gradually diminish as you continue with your series of treatments. A series of five treatments is recommended with one treatment performed every four weeks.

It will. Reduced friction means better fuel efficiency with Tufoil. In spite of the wide variations of engines and drivers, independent tests have shown significant improvement with Tufoil of well over 5%!

There is a relationship between air filter restriction and mileage. The theory behind this is simple, the harder an engine has to work to suck air through the intake tubes and air filter, the more gas gets wasted in the process. Replacing a dirty or clogged air filter is one of many recommendations the U.S. Department of Transportation suggests for improving fuel economy (see http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2007.pdf).

A. Fuel economy with the RICA ECU upgrades will improve in 99% of cases. Expect approximately 10% better fuel economy. Most of our customers have seen an extra 4 - 6 mpg.

In most cases, yes. Due to the scavenging effects of an efficient design of headers, more clean air fuel mixture can be delivered into the cylinder bore resulting in a more powerful power stroke. Quite simply this means that the engine does not have to work as hard to deliver the same power. The biggest cause of excessive fuel consumption in this case would be driving behaviour.

Fuel economy is increased by improving the efficiency of your engine which means, releasing energy that the engine is already producing. Improving the engine's ability to breath contributes to the engine's ability to operate more efficiently. An aFe cold air intake system and a performance exhaust system will provide a good benefits to fuel economy.
