It depends on how fast you are driving with that car.
If you drive both cars at 30 mph (50km/h)
Than no.
But further it depends on how much fuel the car uses.
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
If your comparing with the same type of car..then no, automatics are known to use more fuel
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.
An account that says what you get and what you waste. When you get more than you waste you have a positive balance. When you waste more than you get you fall onto the red mark.
It is ok, If you idle for 5 minutes, When you stuck in traffic It is waste on fuel & money and spoiling the environment, If you idle more than 5 minutes
more than likely a 3.08 gear.
In the city is will cause the vehicle to use more fuel than having the windows open. At highway speed in hot weather it is more economical to run the A/C than having the windows open.
You have to buy it from the Metal Gear Online Store.
more than likely it's a 3.08 gear .
more than likely a 3.08 gear.
Probably not. Modern automatic transmissions are controlled by computers that have far more data about what's going on in the engine than the driver does and can therefore make more "intelligent" choices about what gear to use.
I would start by differentiating the way you are using your car mostly: - for long trips frequently (50000 Km/year or more) yes a 6-th gear helps fuel economy; - for city(urban) driving or sportier driving the extra cost is not justifiable. Overall a 6-gear car is better than a 5-gear because the engine can run in lower revs while the car has greater speed (gear ratios turn the wheels faster at lower engine revs), and almost every time the 6-gear car has more optionals included...
