No, a small hole in a silencer does not affect the fuel consumption.
Not enough that you would ever notice.
The main function of Silencer is to reduce noise & to transmit exhaust gasses to the atmosphere BUT it also serves some more function 1. Decrease fuel consumption 2. Exhaust gasses in the Silencer can be used to produce some power that can charge the Battery of your vehicle
No... But it increases fuel consumption
Fuel consumption increases with increasing power because more fuel is required to generate the additional power. Even though air consumption remains almost the same, the engine needs more fuel to mix with the air in order to produce the higher power output. This results in increased fuel consumption without a significant change in air consumption.
Consumption also increases as disposable income increases.
The average fuel consumption of the 2006 Honda Accord is 10 km per liter of fuel. This includes in calculation the fuel consumption in crowded areas and the fuel consumption in regular areas.
No it does not affect fuel consumption.
It will not increase fuel consumption.
The definition of a Normal Good is: a good that will increase in consumption as income increases and decrease in consumption as income decreases.
We would be overcom by engine noise ! The silencer serves to muffle the explosions that happen when the fuel & air mix in the cylinder ignites. Without the silencer attached to the exhaust, the noise would be deafening !
