Main Factors That Affect Fuel Efficiency




While the ratings are achievable if you drive with fuel efficiency in mind, it’s important to remember that five factors can have a dramatic effect on your fuel consumption: 
  • Driving behaviour: Rapid acceleration, speeding, driving at inconsistent speeds and even extended idling can increase your fuel consumption. The smoother you drive, the better your results will be. Drive smarter – and reduce your fuel consumption by up to 25%!
  • Weather: The colder it is, the worse your fuel consumption will be. Poorer driving conditions, more friction, different types of fuel – it all adds up. A drop in temperature from 24 to 7 degrees can increase fuel consumption in urban commutes from 12 to 28%.  In the summer, air conditioning robs engine power, and open windows at highway speeds can make your car much less aerodynamic, and that increases fuel consumption too.
  • Weight: It’s a fact that lighter cars use less fuel. For every 25 kilograms of weight you add to a mid-sized car, you’ll worsen your fuel economy by one percentage point. So… lighten up!
  • Aerodynamics: Today’s vehicles are designed to slip easily through the air. Bike or ski racks or cargo boxes can increase your fuel consumption by 20% so don’t keep them on the vehicle unless you’re actually using them.
  • Route planning and congestion: It just makes sense to think about where you’re going… BEFORE you leave. Check conditions and traffic or construction reports, and you’ll save time AND fuel.
Here’s the bottom line: while choosing an efficient vehicle is very important, how, where, and when you drive has a big effect on your fuel consumption, and how much you contribute to harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

Lubrication System

  www.checkoil.com Lubrication System Problem Diagnosis To troubleshoot an engine lubricating system,begin by gathering information on the problem.Ask the operator questions.Analyze the symptoms using your understanding of system operation.You should arrive at a logical deduction about the cause of the problem. The four problems most often occur in the lubrication system are as follows: 1.High oil consumption ( oil  must be added frequently ) 2.Low oil pressure ( gauge reads low, indicator light glows,or abnormal engine noises ) 3.High oil pressure ( gauge reads high,oil filter swelled ) 4.Defective indicator or gauge circuit ( inaccurate operation or readings ) When diagnosing these troubles,make a visual inspection of the engine for obvious problems.Check for oil leakage,disconnected sending unit wire,low oil level,damaged oil pan,or other troubles that relate to the symptoms. High Oil Consumption If the operator must add oil frequently to the engine,this is a sympto
