Unflagging Enthusiasm For Fuel Efficiency III

Rubatex Msds Hugs and kisses to Huffington! Kudos also to Nicole Hollander ("Sylvia," comics, Nov. 15) on the same subject. I, too, remember WWII, when citizens responded willingly to the war effort. I turned in the tires from my wagon and scooter to the rubber drive and felt good that I was helping (I confess I held onto my rubber Popeye doll). I hope we Americans haven't lost the spirit. Surely we can cut down on our gas consumption, walk a little more, ride a bike and get some of that exercise we keeping putting off, make one trip instead of three. Every little bit helps.

New research has indicated that more investment in energy efficiency could help to reduce fuel poverty.

Rubatex Neoprene We can free ourselves from Middle Eastern entanglements; all it takes is courage and creativity. I would like to take Huffington's suggestions a couple steps further. Write the auto manufacturers and tell them the next vehicle you buy must get at least 30 mpg on highways. The technology is available. Cut your fuel bill in half. Write the oil companies and encourage them to devote some of their exploration money to research, development and distribution of alternative fuels. Commute a lot? Think electric!

Back To Top Engine efficiency is as critical to fuel economy as reducing parasitic losses. Today' controlled, air ratios for maximum performance and efficiency, but there are still a few things we can do to optimize their performance. Several items need to be regularly serviced. Keeping the air cleaner clean or upgrading to a lower restriction filter element will prevent the choking (richer fuel mixture) effect. Adding fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank every 5, 000 miles will ensure that the injectors properly atomize the fuel for consistent combustion and efficiency. Another overlooked component in the fuel injection system is the oxygen (O2) sensor. It is really the brain that tells the computer how much fuel to send to the engine. Replace every 50, 60, 000 miles to keep your engine running at peak efficiency.

Rubatex Pipe As long as there's a Texan in the White House we will have to do this on our own.

    1. We can get more air (thus more fuel) in and out increasing volumetric efficiency. This is accomplished with carb and pipe changes.
    2. We can increase the quality of our ignition. This increases combustion efficiency. Remember that by getting a more thorough burn, it not unusual to have to increase jet size (more fuel, more power) to take advantage of the improvement.

Anyway, I can notice a little more power, no increase in fuel efficiency, and a computer correction in the calculation of my MPGs skewed from my CAI.
