Q: ano po yung naririnig kadalasan na pinapasakal daw nila yung gas lining para mas tipid daw sa gasolina? what do they mean by these po? how does this help decrease our gasoline consumption?

If you have a 10 year old or older car then siguro may benefits, pero kung bago pa oto mo, say 5 yrs old, wala siguro.

I have a friend who installed thicker and additional grounds on his EF civic wala sya masyado napansin na gain or whatever, pero medyo gumanda daw idle nya, well thats according to him.

not sure kung ganun nga. ang sabi lang sa akin eh, ang ginagaw daw nila is sinisikipan yung daluyan ng gas that's why they call it "pasakal." wala daw magiging changes sa performance ng vehicle pero i doubt.

Hmmm...sa experience ko wala eh. Maliban lang kung i-adapt yung invention ng isang Pinoy nung early-80's: transmission sa owner type jeep na di-pedal. Truth, may Pinoy na gumawa ng jeep na ganito. Tanda ko pa, na feature ata sa Sic O'clock news.

AFAIK, applicable lang sa carb engines, may aadjust ka na screw to control how much gas goes in... correct me if am wrong. Yan ang usually ginagawa ng mga taxi driver para maka tipid, side effect? Mas madaling mag wear out ang makina.... madami kang makikitang taxi na puti na ang usok -> blow by.

Driving habits and planning your trips will give you the most bang for the buck pa rin. Keeping your car light and the tire pressure in check also counts.

Another thing you can do is you can have your timing retarded a bit and continue using regular unleaded fuel. I have not tried this but it was suggested to me before by a friend who i consider knowledgeable with cars/engines.

[chieffy]

libre at siguradong effective===> modify the driver :lol: iwasan ang paghataw...tulad ng sabi ni vinj, baguhin ang driving habits..

[ghosthunter]

sell existing car...

buy Toyota Prius.
