Best Answer

They use so little extra fuel as you would not be able to measure it.

But technically the answer is yes. The lights burn electricity, the car burns gas to make electricity. But the extra is tiny tiny amounts.

Does automobiles waste more fuel when lights are on?

Waste? No. Use more fuel? Yes. If you have, say, 200W (worth) of lights in use, then that energy must come from the fuel tank. The fuel powers the alternator, charges the battery and lights the lights. Assuming 60% efficiency, then you'll need an extra ~300W-worth of fuel to keep your car going.It equates to about 0.4hp or slightly more than 0.5% 'wasted' fuel in a 150hp car.Or something.


Where is the fuel pump relayon a 1996 s10 4.3?

Open up the glove compartment and take out all the stuff. Notice in the back of the compartment a door marked "relays". Remove the door and you will see several relays, I believe the fuel pump relay is the first one from the left. The other relays are for the horn and daytime running lights and power door locks if equipped.


I need to pump very old fuel out of the tank on a 1995 GMC Sonoma. I will remove the fuel filter and connect a hose to the line. Can you force the fuel pump on a 1995 Sonoma to run?

You could by-pass the fuel pump relay with a jumper wire. The fuel pump relay is located in back of the glove compartment. There are three relays back there, one for the fuel pump, one for the horn and one for the daytime running lights. Which order they go I don't know, you would have to do the process of elimination to find out.
