Increase your vehicles Miles per Gallon.

By Stephan Marking

We are always trying the most out of every tank of gas. If this wasn't true there would not be so many gas saving tricks. For example, some say that if you turn off you air conditions it takes less energy from you engine which in turn saves gas. Even though this act does save a small amount of gas, it is not worth showing up to work sweaty and smelly.

This is another theory that says if you ride behind a semi-truck on the freeway,(aka drafting) it removes most of the air resistance and therefore improves gas mileage. This also is true, the problem is that it is illegal to be were the driver of the truck cant see you. In order for the drive of the truck see you, you need to move further back and therefore taking away the wind resistance. In addition, driving that close to an 18 wheeler will do damage to your car from the flying rocks.

There are even some people that say by putting into moth balls into you case tank increases the octane. Whether that theory is true or not it is a good idea not to put things in a gas tank that doesnt belong there. At the end of the day, the best way to save gas is to know how a combustible engine works and find parts that make that process more efficient.

Basically all combustible engines work the same way. Air is brought into the engine through the air intake and then mixed with gasoline in the engine. An explosion happens, and then the exhaust gases will be pushed out of the engine to the exhaust system (e.g. exhaust pipes, headers, and muffler). The main idea behind a combustible engine is air in and then air out. If the engine can does this function more efficiently then improved MPG will be noticed. The principle idea is pretty simply.

Two of the best ways to improve this process is by installing a cold air intake and replacing your stock exhaust system with a new freer flowing one. A cold air intake opens the intake allowing the engine to get more air quicker and more abundantly. The air filter associated with a cold air intake is also a free flowing air filter that is significantly more efficient than a stock air filter. With a new exhaust, the air is able to escape the engine quicker and easier. This is done with larger pipes and performance mufflers. These two methods could increase your engines efficiency 30%. - 21396
