What would cause excess fuel usage surging lagging whether running or idling and a drop in battery needle with each lag?

A dirty or clogged air filter would cause excessive fuel consumption, and it could cause the engine to surge, but I'm not sure about the drop in your alternator guage.

Is there a way to determine whether it is your battery or alternator that needs to be fixed in a 2001 Bonneville?
If you can get your vehicle started you can then un hook the battery while it is running and if your vehicle stays running then your alternator is good. If it stalls and dies as soon as you unhook the battery then the alternator is not good.If you can get your vehicle started you can then un hook the battery while it is running and if your vehicle stays running then your alternator is good.

How will come to know whether current is lagging the voltage and vice versa?
Use an Oscilloscope
How do you know whether its your battery or your alternator?
Start the engine and using a digital volt meter check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. If the alternator is good you will read from 13.5 to 15.5 volts DC.
Is there any application for windows 7 to monitor the battery usage?
There is a power icon on the taskbar. It shows whether the computer is plugged into the mains or on battery power. If you hover your cursor over the power icon, while it is running on battery power, it will show as a percentage how much battery life is left (along with an estimate of how much time you have left before the battery dies).
What is lagging in forex market?
Lagging is a term used in forex that is used in retrospect. For example, if there is a major news announcement speculation will grow on whether it is good or bad news.. accordingly the currency can gain or lose it's value. Once the news is announced after a while the currency corrects it's price. Lagging comes into play after the initial spike in currency
What are battery tenders designed to do?
Battery tenders perform a variety of tasks: letting you know whether your battery is charged; letting you know whether your battery has to be replaced; and charging batteries--among many other things.
Will an Energizer battery charger charge other batteries?
Whether it says it will or not, battery chargers will charge any battery, as long as they are for the same voltage. The charger puts out a set voltage, it doesn't know whether the battery is Energizer or not.
What is meant by lagging and leading circuit?
The terms, 'lagging' and 'leading', describe the relationship between a circuit's load current and supply voltage. They describe whether the load current waveform is leading or lagging the supply voltage -always the current, never the voltage. Inductive loads always cause the current to lag the supply voltage, whereas capacitive loads always cause the current to lead the supply voltage.
What voltage do you need to charge a d cell battery?
Depends on whether the battery is rechargeable or not, and the battery chemistry, there are several different in the D-cell size.
How do you get out of a second battery offense?
Whether you realize it or not, you should consult an attorney.
What actually the power factor is?
Power factor is the cosine of the angle by which the current leads or lags the voltage in an a.c. circuit. It can also be defined as the ratio between a load's true power (expressed in watts) and its apparent power (expessed in volt amperes).Power factor is designated as 'leading' or 'lagging' which is determined by whether the current is leading or lagging the supply voltage. Leading currents are associated with resistive-capacitive circuits, whereas lagging current are associated with resistive-inductive circuits.
What is the function of the throttle body on 2003 ford expedition?
The throttle body controls the amount of air going into the engine. The more air, the more rpms. If the throttle body gets defective and allows too much air into the engine, surging can occur. This surging can be dangerous because the vehicle lunges forward or backwards (depending on whether it is in a forward or backward gear) unexpectedly and without much warning (it occurs very quickly). There are many complaints on the internet about the "surging problem" with Ford vehicles, but Ford has not taken any action to safeguard the public by instituting a recall of the affected models or by notifying the owners of the affected models. It appears that Ford will not say anything about this dangerous condition until there is a fatality as a result of the "surging problem".
