Do you have to drive round with the overdrive on in a Toyota lucida?
no you don't have to drive with overdrive on permanently, but you will change gear quicker and less smoothly, also your fuel consumption will increase by as much as 50%.
How much will old oil increase fuel consumption?
It will not increase fuel consumption.
Does driving with all lights on increase fuel consumption?
No it does not affect fuel consumption.
When should you turn on the overdrive in a 99 Kia Sephia?
You should leave the car in overdrive at all times, unless driving conditions dictate otherwise. The overdrive is intended to optimize fuel consumption.
Does the silencer increase fuel consumption?
Not enough that you would ever notice.
The fuel consumption of my Atos 1.0 is terribly high. Could anyone enlighten me on the purpose of the overdrive and when to use the on and off overdrive switch?
check the injection , and go for tuning. the tuning might be off
Does using an automobile air conditioner while driving increase fuel consumption?
yes
If you remove the catalytic converter on a Suzuki Sx4 would it reduce fuel consumption?
no it should increase fuel consumption as the oxygen sensor should compensating by adjusting the engine to run rich.
Does load affects fuel consumption per hour of a diesel generator?
If the generator is to maintain the same rpm and power output, then a heavier load will increase the diesel consumption. The revolutions per minute the generator runs will increase as the load increases, thereby resulting in an increase in diesel consumption to maintain the high rpm. A Generator has a governor which attempts to maintain frequency at 60 Hz for North America. For the generator to increase the power output at the same frequency, the governor will increase the fuel and air to the engine. The fuel consumption will not be linear because of the curves associated with the particular engine. The fuel to KWH is know as the heat rate curve for the generator.
Does driving with the lights on increase fuel consumption?
(no it uses the energy from the car battery not the energy made by the engine)Yes it does increase consumption because the battery has to be recharged by the power of the engine driving the alternator or the dynamo
Is an engine of bigger capacity same as increase in fuel consumption?
Normally the larger the engine the more fuel it will use under the same conditions.
Using overdrive on automatic gearbox does it burn more fuel than using overdrive off?
using overdrive will use less fuel as it is another gear to lower your rev's Overdrive is a crusing gear to get better fuel efficiency at the price or torque
