E-poc Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 For the past few months, I noticed my vehicle (Pajero 2002 model diesel engine) emits a black smoke everytime i rev up. Last week, I've decided to scout for an additive that will lessen the smoke that is coming out from my vehicle. So I went to a local autoshop and found X1R diesel fuel system additive. I poured a bottle into the fuel tank and after four days the thick black smoke was gone. I went back to the store and a presentor suggested that I try Uniq FCE (fuel combustion enhancer), and I did. After the installation, I felt an increase in power and the fuel consumption is lessen. I've been using biodiesel for a week now and I'm impressed with the performance of my vehicle.

icymyk Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 or better yet... get a bicycle! :goatee: dati i tried free wheeling almost everyday... i was able to do 12km/lit on a 'matic 1.6L car... sabi nila masisira daw makina... nde naman nasira.... ayus pa den naman hanggang ngaun! i wont cause engine damage but your reflexes in such sudden stops has an effect.

Are you using the one made by Chemrez or D&L Ind.? I've heard good reports from their products and it's made using coco oil. Quote Link to comment

kingphilip Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 just always cool your driving habbit, then tipid sa gas subok na yan Quote Link to comment
dyakhardy Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 para makatipid, wag na mag-ac pag less than 5 km ang travel...then ac pag long drive....tapos change gear at around 2k-2.5k.. does it actually help? kung wala a-c? Quote Link to comment
centrino Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 does it actually help? kung wala a-c? Definitely!!! Kaya lang sa metro traffic pag tanghali at mainit di pwede wala aircon... I'm driving a revo and pag hindi bukas aircon sa likod anlaki ng tipid sa gas, much more kung no aircon at all... Quote Link to comment
heightdeprived Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Definitely!!! Kaya lang sa metro traffic pag tanghali at mainit di pwede wala aircon... I'm driving a revo and pag hindi bukas aircon sa likod anlaki ng tipid sa gas, much more kung no aircon at all... AFAIK whether bukas or patay ang air-con sa likod same lang ang gas consumption eh, kasi umaandar pa rin ang compressor compressor gives the engine additional load that's why throttle chambers has actuators in it to open-up the throttle a little to compensate for the power lost during idling caused by the air-conditioning compressor. pero basta cool ka magmaneho, mas tipid sa gas, neither shift too late nor too early they both consume more gas than usual...

knutt Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 pls help give feedback how to save on my trooper 2002 skyroof ... 8k per month haus - ofc ang vice versa lang .. sunday lang pasyal ng konti ... mausok pa Quote Link to comment
Don Carleone Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 with the aircon off saves around 10% if windows are closed.. but opening the windows consumes almost the same amount of fuel if aircon is on when traveling around 70kmh.. so if traveling below 70kmh, it actually saves gas if u turn off ur aircon and open windows.. above 70kmh, its more or less the same, so might as well leave the aircon on..

elmersglue Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 hybrid cars is good on gas mileage Quote Link to comment
madz_raymund Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 hybrid cars is good on gas mileage but they're quite expensive..if u can't afford hybrids, my suggestion would be a car with smaller displacement but good power to displacement ratio, hp/L. and good power to weight ratio, hp/ton. not under power nor over powered vehicles..slight modification like intakes and exhaust would be a great help for extra power and better hp/ton, thus lesser gas consumption..

marvin_8 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 hindi ako naniniwala sa fuel saving device on the market .. tipirin ko na lang the conventional way Quote Link to comment
abc999 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 don't believe any of the either. No scientifc evidence to back up their claim Quote Link to comment
dantederamos Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 i agree, no scientific basis. just like those oxygenated water, liquid and electro detoxification scams Quote Link to comment
asagi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 here is a link that gives a rundown on most popular types of fuel saving devices in the market today. http://www.fuelsaving.info/debunk.htm Quote Link to comment
monsty Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The Khaos super turbo or the newer sanyo-iji do work. BUT they work on carbureted non computerized cars. It's a trick that has been done since the 70's(at least here in the philippines, maybe earlier in other countries) by our own local racers. It adds a little punch in accelerating from a stop and does save a little fuel. Cost to replicate or make your own: as low as free to as high as 15 pesos. Those two I mentioned above are way too overpriced at 3000 or 5000.Installation of these things on fuel injected cars can even cause fuel consumption to increase. Quote Link to comment
izzyzc Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Kalokohan... This has been discussed in automotive forums like tsikot.com and HCP.... Spend your money on proper tune-up of your car instead... And wag masyadong mabigat ang paa sa gas... Quote Link to comment
manhivin Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Never floor your gas pedal, always be conscious of the RPM, not going beyond 2000K. If you are in the highway, stay at the rear of a fast moving vehicle, keeping in my the distance, lessens drag and aiir resistance effect. Maintain your car reguraly Quote Link to comment
bogliboi_blue Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Let the revs rise naturally. Avoid high-RPM gear changes, you'll get to your speed eventually, even with moderate throttle pressure and early upshifts. Once you hit your speed, maintain it; do not overshoot it. Drive smoothly. Avoid sudden maneuvering and braking---braking is one of the biggest wastes of momentum and energy, and you have to burn gas to regain your lost momentum. To drive smoothly, take a long view of the road so you can plan your movements in advance accordingly. Maintain your car's mechanicals religiously. Quote Link to comment
