ALT-6 What you can do to Save Money on Gas
Doubling your gas mileage was once a distant dream not to mention an almost impossible feat, but now it is possible. And with inflation up and wages down, it is essential to possess an auto that is not only mechanically sound, but fuel efficient as well.
Most of us are cognizant of the basics for increasing fuel economy. However, a small percentage of Americans actually employ all the gas saving techniques that are available. The key is simply to implement the following simultaneously for maximum improvement. In doing so, you will notice an average of about a 70% improvement, and as high as 100% percent in increased fuel efficiency depending on the model you are currently operating.
For starters, replace your air filter. Just as your body performs better with the more oxygen it intakes, so does your vehicle. Next, you will need to properly inflate your tires with compressed nitrogen as opposed to compressed air. This task can be accomplished at your local tire store for around $5 per tire. The entire year you should not encounter any fluctuations in tire pressure. The factory recommendations can be found on the inside of the driver's side door. As the result, you will see a combined increase of around 15% in addition to a 30% increase in the life of the tires.
Changing your spark plug wires, spark plugs, and replacing conventional oil with synthetic oil will enhance horsepower and increase your fuel efficiency by as much as 20%. Contrary to popular belief, synthetic oils actually improve engine longevity as opposed to promoting accelerated engine wear.
Removing excess weight, driving with the windows up, turning your vehicle off when stationary for extended periods, and not warming your vehicle up will all produce significant mileage gains. With advances in technology, it is no longer detrimental to drive your vehicle prior to warming it up. If you have roadside assistance, then you can remove the spare tire from your trunk. Every pound that is removed from the work load of your engine will have some bearing on the performance of your vehicle. Because of aerodynamics, vehicles of today are more fuel efficient when driving with the windows up and the air conditioning unit on. Modern day vehicles utilize electronic fuel injection systems that work to optimize fuel efficiency. Therefore, starting your vehicle requires very little fuel unless you are operating a vehicle with a carburetor fuel delivery system.
The single most significant factor will give you the largest increase in mileage is the addition of Pure Acetone. Pure Acetone can be purchased in almost any beauty supply store for around $7 a gallon. Adding 2 ounces to every 10 gallons of gas will provide additional horsepower, increased engine longevity, and astronomical mileage gains. Pure Acetone aids in the vaporization of gasoline, which results in a more efficient fuel burn. Adding more than two ounces will momentarily adversely affect your vehicle's performance, but not cause any damage to internal components. You should be careful to avoid contact with skin, clothes, and your vehicle's paint. It is highly acidic.
Implementing all of the above changes will give you improved engine performance and fuel efficiency. To experience the optimum, it is mandatory that the changes are made simultaneously.
