Fuel Saving Tips

[asagi]

There's a site on the internet that casts a very doubtful eye on all these devices. (Will check on url later). The logic is that if these devices really worked, the car companies would have put these into their cars already. Also, there does not seem to be a test standard that is followed by all those who are promoting these devices.

 

Some of these devices work because after the owner installs the device, he suddenly has a very light foot on the gas pedal, if only to make the device pay for itself. Actually, proper driving techniques can save a lot of gas, and it doesn't cost anything.

myth: these devices help u save on gas..

fact: these devices dont do anything to help u save gas..

lol..

pero tama.. if ever meron man, sobrang insignificant.. personal experience, we have 2 identical cars, one with khaos, another without.. everytime we compare milage with each full tank, i get at least equal, or better mileage.. my car is the one wihout the khaos installed..

Tanung lang po... nakakasira ba ng makina ang palaging paggamit ng nuetral habang umaandar... kasi di ba nakakatipid sya ng gas.. meron bang implications or downside ng palagiang gamit ng neutral..

Kung manual transmission ang kotse, wala naman masama pag neutral ka habang umaandar. Ang masama lang kapag extreme downhill ang takbo mo at naka neutral ka palagi. Baka mag-overheat ang brakes mo dahil hindi sya nasusuportahan ng engine braking.

 

Kung automatic naman ang transmission, masama kapag nililipat mo from Drive-to-Neutral and vice versa kapag in motion ang sasakyan. Makakatipid ka nga sa gasolina ng konti kapag nililipat mo sa neutral pero nalalaspag naman ang transmission. Saka mo na lang ilipat sa neutral kapag naka stop ka sa traffic or stoplight.

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..

Listen to light music (ex. Jazz, classical) instead of R&B, Rock and Metal. Your foot is a lot lighter on the gas pedal.

stop using your car and just buy a scooter

 

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!

[jprizal]

bro, i read from the other board na delikado mag-free wheeling...

most of the time , these devices even cause breakdowns too. DONT buy these fuel saving gadgets

[stockboy]

waste of money.....they simply dont work..full of bull crap!

[cadbury007]

Maintain speed at cruisin..preferably 100 KPH or 65MPH, lower RPM revs, on stop light and go.. it does'nt make sense to hit the pedal hard just to stop again on another stop light.. my 5 nickel... :cool:

I agree with you guys....

US consumer reports does not have any single reputable fuel saving device that works!!

 

though i bought a khaos already when i found that out..... too bad

 

just a suggestion though.... increasing the tire pressure by 2 psi from the recommended tire pressure will save gas by at least 3%........
