Extra Gas Mileage? It's Easy to Do!

Yes you can!
Increasing gas mileage in your car has never been easier with all the gas saving products around to choose from. The fact is,
however, you need none of them.
This article will give you some background to
start reaping the savings in gas money you’ve been dreaming
of…
Recent technology advancement in the automotive
industry has seen an surge in improving the fuel economy of our car
engines thus making them as efficient as they can be. Heavy
investment has been poured into also making the car engines as clean as
possible in terms of exhaust emissions. This, of coursre, further increases the gas
mileage capability of the cars. A new breed of vehicles
with engines more fuel efficient than engines of comparable
size a decade or more ago has been invented.
We can’t deny that, apart from the
engines alone, electronics play an important part inbetter fuel economy. However, with the ever growing onslaught of increasing fuel
hikes, there’s little hope that advances already made in producing
engines with higher fuel efficiency will be able to keep pace with the increasing
costs of fuel.
A
lot of heavy investment has been spent on
research and development to produce even better car engines with still
greater fuel economy. Unfortunately, it may very well take
several years to recoup the cost of initial
investment alone: let alone the vast manpower needed for these daunting
tasks. Thus, manufacturers will cut corners wherever possible,
although it
must be emphasized that this will not be done at the expense of the
safety of the driver, passengers and other road-users.
There currently additions that may be fitted
with vehicles to improve fuel economy and make them even more
fuel-efficient.
The good news is that there are loads
and loads of gas saving devices in the open market and some can help improve
fuel mileage or increase gas mileage of your car. These products claim to save money on
gas and increase fuel efficiency for your car.
But the bad news is, there are also some so-called gas saving devices that purportedly claim to increase
gas mileage for your car are nothing more than advertising hype
and thus are a waste of your time & money. So you must be vigilant!
There are several things you need learn when it comes to successfully increasing fuel mileage in your car.
1)
Electronic Ignition Systems
2) Fuel Catalysts
3) Free-Flow Air
Filters
4) Tire Inflation
5) Other Products
Electronic
Ignition Systems
This class of accessories
really applies to the older vehicles that still run on the traditional
contact breaker systems. Those who wish to keep vintage vehicles on the
road will find that fitting a contact-less ignition system is the way
to go.
Although it is not strictly a fuel-saving
device, it ensures that the vehicle stays in tune and retains the fuel
economy that a freshly-installed contact breaker system would provide.
Minimal maintenance and consistent fuel economy result in increased gas
mileage and fuel savings of your car.
Fuel
Catalysts
Due to the recent
increases in fuel prices, we’ve been getting a lot of
response on this method. Suffice to say, fuel catalysts are elements
you would put on your gas line or in your gas tank to speed up the combustion process.
This in the end will improve your car fuel efficiency and improve your
gas mileage.
Some catalysts can simply be dropped into the
fuel tank, while there are some that require a device to be installed somewhere
along the fuel line, between the tank and engine.
A catalyst is a chemical, substance or
compound that accelerates a chemical reaction. But it remains unchanged
and is not used up during the process. When a catalyst is installed
along the fuel system, it speeds up the combustion process, rendering
it more complete, and allows for the complete release of energy from
fuel combusted.
Installation is a pretty straightforward affair. You’ll recover your initial investment spent
on a catalyst within a short period of time, because of the increased gas
mileage savings in your car. Catalysts may also be used for the entire
life of the vehicle, and are transferable from one vehicle to another.
The more popular fuel catalysts are made of
compounds of tin and other precious metals, but the actual formulation
remains a commercial secret. They claim to promote smoother engine
operation, cleaner exhaust emissions and can increase fuel mileage
savings of up to 8%.

Free-Flow
Air Filters
Grouped in the same
category as the contactless ignition systems, free-flow air filters
offer no gas mileage savings over a brand new item. Most filter
elements are washable, and can be used for thousands of miles.
After that, you may need to replace the air filter on regular basis.
According to the report on http://www.extragasmileage.com, studies have
shown that replacing a clogged air filter can improve the mileage that
you get with your car as much as 10%.
Tire
Inflation
Oxygen in compressed air escapes
through the wall of the tire, and inflation pressure is
reduced over time. In the process, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds
in the tire, causing under-inflation and deteriorated rubber. Dry
nitrogen in the tires can prevent air loss. It will not corrode
rims, and will help the tire to run cooler, resulting in longer
tread life.
So tire replacement costs go down....and this is another way to extend
your automotive maintenance budget.
Other
Products
Fuel and lubricating oil
additives claim to lower internal engine friction/drag and improve
combustion respectively. Some may work and some may fail considerably.
It is important that the device fitted or the additive used does not
destroy the catalytic converter. Neither should it void your new
vehicle warranty. Be careful!
Conclusion
Increasing your car gas mileage and
doing every bit to save money on gas does not require rocket science to
understand its importance. No doubt there are probably no products that can save you thousands of dollars in gas money, but every penny you do save from every little drop of gas goes a long way.
Any
little step you take each day will lead to fuel-saving success
so you should really start now. Get all the tips and techniques you can
so you learn how to get extra mileage. You might want to
