Improve Your Vehicle's MPG.

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.

Another one is that driving behind a large semi-truck helps eliminate wind resistance which in turn improves gas mileage. This also is correct, but most 18 wheel trucks drive slow, throw rocks up from their tires which hit your car, and dont want you back there anyway.

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.

The two best ways to improve this process is with a cold air intake system with a free flowing air filter and a new high performance exhaust. A cold air intake increases the amount of air that is pulled into the motor as well as decreases the resistance the air has to travel through. The free flowing air filter stills filters the air going into the engine yet does it in a much more efficient manner. A high performance exhaust system will allow the exhaust gases to escape the engine much quicker through larger pipes and free flowing muffler. These two changes to a vehicle can improve power and gas mileage as much as 30%. - 21393
