It's almost summer time 09. You're car is a something to pay close attention to correct? So if you shop on line. Your parts are delivered and you don't need to drive anywhere.
All the concerts coming up. It's gonna be hot to drive to the shows. Why not replace some parts. Wiper blades. Spark plugs. Belts. You have to but parts one way or the other. If you plan out a few parts per month, and just keep rotating.
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.
Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.
A new study shows that replacing a clogged air filter on cars with fuel-injected, computer-controlled gasoline engines does not improve fuel economy but it can improve acceleration time by around 6 to 11 percent. This kind of engine is prevalent on most gasoline cars manufactured from the early 1980s onward. Tests suggest that replacing a clogged air filter on an older car with a Carbureted engine may improve fuel economy 2 to 6 percent under normal replacement conditions or up to 14 percent if the filter is so clogged that it significantly affects drivability. The effect of a clogged air filter on diesel vehicles will be tested in the near future. |
