petrol consumption

[derricklch]

I'm driving a 1997 proton perdana 2.0L, any idea what can be done to reduce the pertrol consumption?

keep ur engine in a optimum condition,as in do regular check ups,regular services and etc etc.

and drive reasonably.(yeah rite.)

 

[mokomoko]

check your right foot. Its the biggest factor for fuel consumption

 

[gohkokeng]

check your tyres pressure

perdana pump 250 should be ok

change to manual transmission...

 

[kob3bryant]

pump 250psi into perdana original size tyre?i dun think tis is advisable

 

[E3newbie]

250 psi!!?? Bro, u sure?

 

[Dino@Casper]

Definetely not psi la.. kpa

 

[g88]

Change to smaller CC car...

 

[gohkokeng]

haha i duno psi or kpa la

i pump my LMST 220 once a month, so far so good lor.......

if tyre flatten then roll resistance increase leh.....

pump it hard can always put free gear and let it roll only

 

[rollakid]

yeah i pump my tire hard also.... it really does safe fuel

try to use high flow air filter to get more air, make sure intake manifold are owes free from oil/carbon.... to ensure u get enuf air.

use better spark plug with correct heat range, city driving/normal drive use hotter plug. this to reduce the carbon deposited in ur plugs n combustion chamber. high revving n modded engine use colder plug. sdo ur plug wont meld coz of too hot.

electrical system, ensure ur car running at sufficient voltage/curent so ur car sensors n ecu can perform efficiency n effectively...this wil effect fc as well

combustion chamber hv to be clean so tat the carbon will not stuck inside...

if u r running at mineral oil, try to upgrade it to semi syn based. will helps oso :)

if ur ride is auto, check atf as well.

my2cent n do correct me if im wrong.

[gohkokeng]

maybe not so comfortable also loh....

but i don care la....as long as save fuel abit is ok la....during raining no1 ask u to speed like mad and brake like crazy fellow also

over inflation also causes uneven tyre wear. XD

the best way to save fuel is to drive "properly" and get a lower cc car like me! LOL

 

[Lord_darkslide]

[Fluffy]
