Let's start a thread here...
Right now, I am thinking of ways to improve fuel economic figures on cars... They say change this and change that, have a tune-up... So what do you think? I've heard here before, it was way back 2006 and tsikoteers have this topic about Revo's that guzzle gas a lot... One owner said changing the muffler to bigger ones gave him additional 2km/l on his mileage! Does anybody has a proof? Please enlighten me about this...
Can you help our gas guzzlers change their appetite because we would like to save more gas for your personal use.
So what mods can you share to improve fuel efficiency?
TIA!

January 13th, 2008 05:39 AM #2True! The only way to achive better gas milage, maintenance is a must from tune up to a proper tire inflation. Your load, driving habit, driving anticipation when using brake, flooring the gas pedal all of this can contribute poor gas performance. Putting your car at best all the time is crucial unless you are not intrigue for a few drop of a mile.
About muffler. Some said its true, its not just the muffler they have to change but the whole EXHAUST SYSTEM. Try this website, might help you. http://www.magnaflow.comLast edited by v6dreamer; January 13th, 2008 at 05:45 AM.

January 13th, 2008 09:00 AM #4Another question, when I was having changing my tires at home.... just for fun!
I noticed that the brake/rotor is in contact with the discs enough to make a very very little friction. I was thinking of adjusting it kahit konti lang para continuous ang rotation nya.
Will this improve my fuel efficiency? Is it okay to adjust the brakes?iam3739.com

January 13th, 2008 09:39 AM #5AFAIK, the disc brakes were designed that way to prevent dirt, grime or tiny pebbles from going between the pads and rotors which may decrease braking efficiency and shorten the life of both.

January 20th, 2008 12:16 AM #8I have another question...
In a very heavy traffic, your engine is always idle... Is it better to turn it off rather than staying it on in idle?iam3739.com
