Ano mas matipid Over-powered car o Under-powered?

[co_nixz]

Ako i have my 1992 4x2 Nissan Powerpickup and i can say nakakatipid ako sa diesel.

Ksi kayang kaya ng makina yung weight ng pickup ko

Im equiped w/ TD27TI (Change Engine)

over powered as long as the driver is light footed

It Depends...as pointed above based on drivers mode...and as well as Road/traffic condition...if Hway...more on Overpowered; and if on City traffic condition..siempre sa underpowered...unless meron technology like the HEMI engine that could switch to min. number of cylinders in operation depending on power demand.

Eto experience ko between a Merc C180 and Lexus IS200 both autos, mas matipid pa ng konti yong Lexus. City driving and same driving style. Masyadong underpowered kasi yong Merc dahil sa bigat ng body nito.

Never heard of it. But it sounds AWESOME!

sa experience ko mas nkakatipid ako pg medyo overpowered oto ko. hindi ko n kse kelangan irev ng mataas engine pra umandar. pg underpowered makina ng oto, kelangan mo irev ng mataas to get the vehicle rolling. you end up burning more fuel just to get moving...

Yep....those were now in production for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge..Imbensyon ng mga Kano na mahilig sa MAX HP and TORQUE...they tend to maximize power gain by increasing engine displacement but still maintaining same gas consumption...in a nutshell...still a gas guzzler pa rin ...but on the other hand if this new MDS HEMI engine were not developed then the gas will be much much more.

For further info on new HEMI engine.....search sa friendly google MDS HEMI engine.

Same line ba kinukumpara?

Overpowered na.

It's better to have something & not need it, than need it & not have it.

[co_nixz]

tnx sa info bro

[co_nixz]

a good example is the Mazda 3 1.6 & 2.0 ano kaya mas matipid sa dalawa

[Camgen6]

Never heard of it. But it sounds AWESOME!

Meron na rin ganyan ang Honda (Variable Cylinder Management) where 3 of 6 cylinders shuts off during cruising speed. Available na to sa Pilot, Odyssey at ang 08 Accord meron na rin yata.

Under powered vehicles - Cheaper Running / Operating Cost, Lifecycle is shorter
Over powered vehicles - Running/ Operating Cost is higher, Lifecycle is longer.

As others have mentioned, a car that has more power than it needs can just waft along at a fraction of its total power band at much lower RPM compared to a car that's running higher RPM's due to less power for the same driving conditions.

Palagay ko nga kung pareho ng degree ng over or under powered-ness, mas makakatipid ng konti sa over powered, assuming you will use a lighter foot and not 'open her up'. Pero marami pang factors that will come into play like power-plant, weight, engine-efficiency, etc so it may be hard to tell just based on experience.

pinakamatid is: having the right power and right for your needs!

isipin mo nalang--kotse ka nga, kia pride, may V6 na makina

or may cefiro ka, 1.3L lang ang makina...

Share ko lang ang experience ko:

My 6cyl bmw gets awesome gas mileage at freeway speeds, it seems the faster I go the better my fuel consumption gets.

Our 4cyl Mitsu Mirage (lancer) gets really bad mileage on the freeway when we push it to beyond 70mph. The engine is working harder at higher RPM's kasi.

For city driving, the bmw still gets better mileage if you drive reasonably and leave the lead foot at home. The 4cyl car just gets really bad mileage when the engine is pushed in acceleration and start/stops.

Kung city driving most of the time eh sa underpowered na ko dahil tipid ang habol ko because of traffic (stop and go) at hindi hataw. Pero kung uwian ako ng province madalas eh mas tatagal ang over powered dahil di puwersado at matipid na rin sa rekta.

Last thing, depends also on the driver, if he’s aggressive or patient one.

Based on my experience with my Sentra 2.0 project car, slightly overpowered cars can give good fuel economy. All is needed is a light foot on the gas pedal.

[pajerokid]

Overpowered + Light foot = Good Numbers.
Underpowered + Light foot = Even Better! (as long as you dont mind travelling slooow)

[ssaloon]

Based on owners' feedback, mas matipid yung mz3 2.0 because of better power to weight ratio. my 2.0 turbo galant gets the same if not better fuel economy compared to when i had an NA engine. plus you have the power when you need it
