do spoilers help gas mileage?
201841
A specially designed rear spoiler could increase the fuel efficiency of minivans and SUVs, according to a new study detailed in Green Car Congress. The study reveals that such a spoiler could both reduce drag and nearly eliminate aerodynamic lift—effectively saving several miles per gallon worth of gas consumption.

You can waste almost a gallon of gas if you leave your car idling for more than an hour. Burns up oil. Longer time leaving your engine running causes more motor oil to be circulated and burned up. This will cost you more money due to more frequent oil changes.

Without running outside to get the book... You should get it changed at 15%, but it can be run at 5%. Speaking from personal experience, I get about 800-1000 miles for every 10% of oil 'life'.

In our tests, we've found that in some cars a manual transmission can improve gas mileage by a significant 2 to 5 mpg, compared with an automatic, and can cut a car's price by $800 to $1,200. Manual transmissions often can also improve acceleration, sometimes significantly.

Unless you are doing some kind of racing, it isn't worth the extra pain in the butt. I had a K&N and didn't think it was worthwhile. A better filter sometimes ensure longevity of better filtering performance. It will not hurt to try and see any difference.

Free gas! The only acceptable kind of surprise when it comes to car buying. ... with my new car @Carvana I went to fill up for the first time this morning thanks for the surprise in the gas tank door!

A recent study found that spoilers — or giving away key plot details — may not ruin an experience entirely, but can reduce suspense and decrease overall enjoyment. ... That research, somewhat unexpectedly, suggested that people actually enjoy an experience more, at least some of the time, after hearing spoilers.

The undercoating might reduce your efficiency by up to one mile per gallon, which creates an additional fuel cost over time that is worth considering. 6. An undercoating is not impervious to damage. An undercoating can provide a hardened layer of protection against dirt and debris that may cause corrosion.

Fuel economy is the relationship between the distance traveled and fuel consumed. ... The window sticker on new US cars displays the vehicle's fuel consumption in US gallons per 100 miles, in addition to the traditional MPG number. A lower number means more efficient, while a higher number means less efficient.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency's fuel economy ratings, cars with manual transmissions typically beat their automatic peers by a mile or two per gallon. ... If you're up for the challenge, though, you can likely beat the EPA's estimates and achieve fuel savings of up to 15 percent.

The short answer is yes. All engines have some amount of blowby and even if that amount is small, capturing oil before it gets into the intake is a plus. As oil enters the intake it has a tendency to stick to the back of the intake valves creating carbon build up.

Does the 2019 Kia Soul Get Good Gas Mileage? The Soul gets some of the worst fuel economy ratings in the class when equipped with its base engine and manual transmission. Upgrade to the automatic transmission or the turbocharged engine, and ratings improve, but they're still subpar for the segment.

The best way is with an instant miles per gallon (MPG) readout. An instant mpg readout, which is sometimes also called an instant fuel consumption display or instant fuel economy gauge, is a feature that lets you know how many miles per gallons your car or truck is getting right at that very moment.

I love this product so much. If you can afford to use it with every oil change, you'll find a good result after a year or two. The engine run much smoother and quiet. It has an impact in increasing gas mileage as well.

They are also known as “HMRC company car mileage rates”. ... The Advisory Fuel Rate is based on the engine size and fuel type of your car. To illustrate, the highest rate is for cars with large petrol engines (21 pence per mile), the lowest rate is for cars with small LPG engines (8 pence per mile).

However, the fuel savings benefit will kick in much sooner. With a well used filter, it saves money at about 20,000 miles. Better gas mileage and maybe better performance makes the K&N filter a good buy if you plan to keep the car for a while.

Re: Can I use RTV in intake/exhaust manifold gasket? No good on an intake. Fuel hits it and it turns into a million expanding worms. Never use RTV anywhere near fuel period.
