@@awsomedude9111 I really love that idea but the issue with that is that the Hydrogen produced is a product of the gas burning. So if you want to in crease the mileage you need the have an isolated power source for the hydrogen

[@fruitysalt]

Rather than being “a moderate driver”, the point is in the specifics. First, and this applies to most drivers, don’t exceed 60 mph. 55mph is your ideal max. It will cut your consumption by up to 20% on the freeway. The air resistance on your car becomes exponentially harder above 60mph. Just ask any pro skier! Second, don’t accelerate ahead of a slower zone or red light. Drive with foresight. Third, use your auto start/stop. If your car doesn’t have it, kill the engine manually on long red lights. Just be quick to restart and re-gear. Don’t do this first in line and no phone in hand please 😂

[@incognito595]

THANKS.

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

A good way to increase your MPG is to set your AC to recycle the cabin air. Letting in the outside air creates what is called "drag," which is the same as opening your windows. At lower speeds and when 1st starting the car, it's probably good to open that vent and get new air in. It will also cool the car faster. But it's going to let in bad smells driving around.

[@jjdieselcowboytraveler79sm71]

Also use your cruise control at the speed limit and slow down when the wind is blowing hard. The faster you drive the more fuel the engine uses. The faster you drive when it's windy the more the air speed increases. That's very dangerous because the wind can blow you off the road especially if you are pulling a camper trailer or driving a big rig.

[@gingie5246]

It also helps if you opt for the larger engine if you ever plan on towing or moving lots of weight. You can lean out a v8 to get more mileage but you can’t fatten up a i4 to make lots of power.

[@ericolens3]

No, that's just makes LESS fuel economy. Less load and lower cylinders is better for fuel econ. More cylinders for higher HP and towing capacities. I only use my vehicle as a commuter car so i prefer higher fuel economies and a towing capacity of 1000 pounds is fine for me. But if your vehicle needs to carry more then a v6 or v8 would work but dont expect it to get 35 or higher mpg.

[@gregrowe1168]

It’s about the same either way. The smaller engine will work harder though. I would rather give a bigger engine an easy job than make a smaller engine work harder. The bigger engine will be more reliable.

In some vehicles, like 1st gen Tacoma's, The throttle body and Idle air control unit get gummed up every 50k miles. Its easy to take off, clean the carbon gunk off with throttle body cleaner, and bolt it back on with any gaskets it needs. Easy peasy mpg, and it can clean up a poor idle as well.

Clean your mass air flow sensor, ND reset your ECU/PCM, which should also reset your throttle but if not, find your throttle reset procedure!

[@JustinPennito]

That's not a scam device, you're thinking of those things that connect to your OBDII port. What you're holding is a throttle booster, which basically helps get you faster 0-60mph times, as they open up your throttle sooner than the ECU typically does.

The tips work but don't know about doubling.

[@joys8634]

by how much though?

[@ericolens3]

@@joys8634 depends on the vehicle. Cuz its ultimately gonna be a range. Generally speaking the RATED FUEL ECONOMY is your best case scenario *if you followed Scotty's tips It can be marginally better than the rated fuel economy if you try to NEVER brake and only coast to slow down and acclerate more slowly THINK 4 times the distance to get up to speed. (0-60 in 35 seconds or even at a rate of 1 mph per second, so that you're ONLY increasing 1mph per second, 0-60 in 60 seconds) But even then the next limiting factor is now the vehicle itself. What weight class is your vehicle, Compact, Mid size, full size of a sedan, suv, truck. Compact sedans having the highest fuel economy and full size trucks or suvs having the worst. CVTs, Hybrid or electric cars having a better fuel economy but lower towing capacities. The next thing is how many cylinders 4,6, or 8. The 8 cylinder has the highest Horse Power but paltry fuel economy. 4 cylinders have better fuel economy but lower horse power. So basically its a balancing act of performance or fuel economy. But electric cars kinda have great initial speed (they say, idk cuz i never drove an electric car) Long story short, as long as you drive a 4 door car you SHOULD have a better fuel economy than a bigger vehicle due to a smaller sized vehicle due to its weight and air drag potential.

[@ericolens3]

If you drive like a bat out of hell. You can double to fuel economy by NOT driving like you have an elephant foot. But tbh, idk. Cuz ive tried all 3 driving styles. 1) heavy gas heavy braking 2) normal gas normal braking 3) slower on the gas and easier on the brakes. ALSO leaving crazy large following distances so i can coast to a stop more often. With my 2017 nissan rogue ( rated26 city, 33 highway) I've gone as low as 21 mpg and as high as 35 mpg. But i will say, i DONT heavy brake ever cuz i hate paying for that mess. And will normal brake or emergency brake when needed but not just slam in brakes cuz that just wears em down and the motorist behind might rear end me cuz of abrupt braking

I remember back in the 80’s there was a TV show called “That’s Incredible!” On that show they had an MG that got 100 MPG. That was almost 50 years ago. The automakers CAN make cars that get 60-100 mpg, but there is absolutely no financial incentive to do so. People would buy cars very infrequently if that was the case. The entire worldwide monetary system is set up to keep customers coming back, not satisfy you one time for life. It’s just like doctors.

I watched a couple videos that used that wind booster and it seemed to completely eliminate the lag time.
