Fuel saving tips [merged threads]

[mbeige]

After rereading #4 of hanging with the trucks, and hearing all sorts of stories ranging from having a truck tire loosen from its hub, bounce down the highway and from several cars and landing on the roof of one, injuring the driver, I no longer draft trucks. I've also realized that the gravel they throw out the back can lead to expensive repairs at the body shop, let alone broken headlamp lenses.

That, combined with sleepy drivers - I'd rather keep my distance from others, minimize paint damage, while maintaining my own speed far from the cars in front so if the cars in front slow down, I won't have to since I'm far back.

Question on A/C for less fuel..
Ano ba ang dapat malakas? Yung FAN o yung Thermostat?
Ano ba ang mas malakas sa fuel sa dalawa kapag nakahigh?
Kasi i personally use HIGH Thermostat, LOW Fan.

gud am guys,

, dito ko din nabasa ung tungkol sa Hydrogen converter.
Malaki daw ang matitipid. very simple ang gadget.
tubig na idadaan sa electrolysis and presto, ung gasoline consumption mo, would be lessen by about 30%.
Totoo ba ito.
Thanks.

Forget it. If you're really interested, build your own... then try to figure out how a small, irregular stream of hydrogen bubbles can provide concise, accurate octane boost to gasoline... come to the realization it can't (besides the fact that an octane boost, in and of itself, will never offset gasoline usage), then just build a water injection system, which won't offset gas use, but will at least give you a cooler-running and potentially more powerful engine...

If you are adding hydrogen to your engine... how would it offset the electricity used to generate the hydrogen in the first place?

Unless you are tapping zero-point-energy, you will just end up using more energy. Simply maintain your car well, and it will serve you well for a long time.

If you want to really save money on fuel, you might want to try AUTO-LPG.

Thanks a lot niky and ghosthunter. the idea that the supply of hydrogen is going to be irregular suggests that the generated hydrogen should still pass a regulating gadget before it goes direct into the intake manifold. if the flow of hydrogen will be regulated in the same way the gasoline flow into the combustion chamber is regulated, then the problem of irregular combustion will be lessened. Am still thinking that another problem would arise in the combustion chamber if this type of fuel will be used for a longer period. but since hydrogen if burned doesnt alter the metal component of the chamber, will the combined hydrogen and gasoline do harm the metals?
I still hope that an engine fit for this kind of fuel, (HHO) or combination fuel, can be developed by our enterprising kababayans.
for old engines whose metals are more durable than the new ones, this kind of experiment can be quite interesting.
Regarding the energy needed to generate Hydrogen, power from 12V battery , is sufficient enough. the generator works only when the engine is running, where battery is being charge by the alternator, so energy consumption by the generator is a minimal concern.
Thanks again, niky and ghosthunter.

we always find ways to save gas, tire pressure, blend of gasolines, spark-plugs, engine oils, and many more... how about your driving styles?

some people say you dont need to rev your engine high to save gas, others say you try to 'free wheel' when on a downward road/hill, and many more...

share your driving tips to save gas mga tsikoteers =) para maka save tayong lahat

Plan your trip to save gas like now most of the road under consrtuction . Weight reduction the heavier the vehicle eat more gas during acceleration . Just drive normally and defensively to avoid accident.

install HHO hydrogen fuel cell,it really works.

[MaxAJ]

adding other customized accessories and or equipments like, turbo inter cooler, light mags, and smaller wheel diameters.. and cleaning the air intake and catalytic converter periodically will help.. we often do not think of this but its a big factor

Anyone who mixes the words "hydrogen fuel cell" with "HHO" has unfortunately totally no idea what he is talking about.

smaller wheels will result in a drop in fuel economy.

how do you clean a catalytic converter??

how does adding a turbo inter cooler help increase fuel economy?
