FF Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 wag kang humataw ng humataw sa kalye yun ang matipid for diesel powered vehicles try running your engine at around 2000 rpm at the highest possible gear. at this engine speed i'll be cruising at around 80 kph with the fifth in gear. got this tip from an engineer friend working for isuzu philippines . 1 Quote Link to comment

yhance Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 easy lang sa accelerator....iwasan ang bomba ng bomba....sa gawaing ito maraming nasasayang na gasolina o crudo don't go beyond 80 kph (highway) ang 35 kph (city) kung automatic tranny ka naman gaanan iwasan ang prating pag floor ng accelerator pedal nabibigla kc ang torque converter Quote Link to comment
ericzena Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 if you can, always put a full tank of gas everytime you make a trip to a gasoline station rather than loading gas bit by bit.... if your weekly gas consumption is 1400 pesos, load the 1400 of gas at one time rather than putting 200 pesos a day....especially on diesel... i dont know if this make sense to anyone but based on my experience it lasts longer when i do it this way..

madz_raymund Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Meron pa bang new ideas? dahil paulit ulit mga nsasabi.. dumadami lng pages pero halos same lang mga nsasabi.. Quote Link to comment

I think i can explain this...if you have a full tank of gas, then there's not much air in the fuel tank meaning, evaporation is limited thus fuel is saved, dba lesser fuel will have a greater surface area sa fuel tank therefore chances of evaporation is greater whereas a full tank will have lesser surface area therefore evaporation is less...I noticed na mas nakakatipid pag full tank parati, so half full palang nagkakarga na ako ng gas...im no Einstein so correct me if im wrong, this is just my hypothesis Quote Link to comment

lomex32 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 If you do not have the time of doing tune-ups, at least buy quality spark plugs Meron pa bang new ideas? dahil paulit ulit mga nsasabi.. dumadami lng pages pero halos same lang mga nsasabi.. Quote Link to comment
id6230 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yung "fuel miser' invention nang isang pinoy, kinakabit sa part nang engine (valve?), anyone had this gadget on their car? Nakakatipid ba talaga? May scientific data ba nito? Quote Link to comment

Notice how a softdrink bottle when open makes that hissing sound! This is the escape of the carbonated water as it has expanded inside the bottle. Our fuel tanks are pretty much the same. Less volume space for the fuel vapors to expand, the less it will. Notice also the sound of "pfffttt" everytime you open your tank. this is the fuel vapor escaping. The more often times you do this, the more you give a bigger volume of space for the fuel to vaporize inside your tank and again, as the cycle continues, the more it expands the more it vaporizes, the more it escapes everytime you open you gas tank to fill in a few liters worth. As for the weight it carries, it is highly negligible compared to the vapor that escapes every time the gas cap is opened and the volume of space inside is loosened up. I have already read this in another forum and even two TV programs have suggested this, to have your gas tank filled by as much liquid fuel as possible. Yun lang po.... Just my two cents worth.

r0k7 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 anyways, after all this ideas, a simple way to save gas is not to step on the brakes too much. By simply just depressing the accelerator and not dropping too much rev, it saves gas and it protects the engine in a way....... Quote Link to comment
naughtyman Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 gamit na lang kayo ng bisekleta, tipid talaga yun sa gas... hehehe just joking.. Quote Link to comment

Nakakatipid ba talaga? May scientific data ba nito? I'm not familiar with this miser pero as i've mentioned in page 10 before, giving the engine more power to improve power-weight ratio would definitely help you save fuel.. tried and tested on my experience.. improving the fuel-air mixture, better air flow, etc... just the basics, don't over do it or you'll just end up consuming more fuel.. probably ganon lang din un..
