Driving habits - the harder you accelerate, the more fuel you burn. A pickup truck driven carefully will get better gas mileage than a Honda Civic that is hot dogged.

Does removing a catalyst converter increase fuel consumption?

Yes, removing a catalytic converter can increase fuel consumption because it can lead to inefficient combustion of fuel, resulting in higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the engine may not run as efficiently without the catalytic converter, causing it to burn more fuel.

What is the A320 fuel burn for 100Kg of extra weight?

The fuel burn for an Airbus A320 can increase by approximately 0.5% to 1% for every additional 100 kg of weight. This means that if 100 kg is added to the aircraft's weight, the fuel consumption during a typical flight could increase by about 5 to 10 kg of fuel, depending on various factors such as flight duration, altitude, and operational conditions. Therefore, while the exact figure can vary, the impact of extra weight on fuel efficiency is significant and should be considered in flight planning.


What is a sustainible plastic?

1% or less of all oil consumption goes toward making plastics, so it is a sustainable source. However, we also consume oil as fuel, and THAT is where oil becomes an unsustainable source. If we can move away from oil as a fuel, then oil becomes sustainable.


Does a car burn more gasoline when its lights are turned on?

Turning on the lights of a car will increase the electrical load on the battery, but it will not significantly impact the fuel consumption or gas mileage of the vehicle. The amount of gasoline burned by the engine is not directly affected by the operation of the lights.
