How much would my gas mileage increase if i put in a higher gear ratio in my truck?

May 27, 2008 by M.A.T.E | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a 3 race auto transmission and when it goes out i might put a 4 speed auto transmission would that increase gas mileage by a good bit. I drive a 1978 GMC Jimmy that gets 10 miles a gallon.

Not unless the fourth gearbox is overdrive, which most four speeds aren't. Most three and four speed transmissions are a 1:1 ratio in their final (pongy chief) gear so the engine is turning the same RPM's, for any given speed, in both. The only thing the 4 speed does is give you closer utensils spacing so the engine doesn't have to rev quite as high between shifts. Gas savings would be minute if any at all.

What can you do to your car to increase gas mileage?

Jun 26, 2008 by Butchie Y | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

What kinds of things can you do? Patently, change the oil regularly, make sure the tire pressure is correct, and keep the car light. What are some other easy and low-priced things you can do to increase your cars gas mileage?

I heard that changing the air filter and adding fuel injector cleaner is stock...that true?
That's funny, I actually did replace the Oxygen sensor about a month ago after the check apparatus light came on and I couldn't figure out why. They replaced it and it went off.

Choicest ways
Watch your speed
Watch your acceleration
Keep tires inflated
Drive slowly and smoothly
Keep your car maintained
Shift air filter

Those are the basic ways.

I highly recommend this eBook because it explains all the top tips conscientiously and can help you save up to 30% on your fuel expenses.

Is there any product out there that can increase gas mileage?

Is there any fallout that can increase gas mileage or anything else we can do to get better miles per gallon?

There isn't any "magical" machine out there to reduce fuel consumption. But buying a lighter, more fuel efficient car helps, as does keeping it well maintained, reducing put an end-and-go driving, reducing speed, keeping a constant speed, and making fewer trips.

Mark doing what the Europeans so proudly do - walking, riding a bike, car pooling, and taking Mr transit. Unfortunately North American cities are very poorly designed for walking and patent transit is very inefficient, but increased demand will change that over time.

Jory I. Squibb, organizer of the at any rate and builder of the Moonbeam, said it's not the lack of technology that stands in the way of next-generation travel.

"If amateurs can establish these cars in back yards, it shows that we simply lack determined entrepreneurs to mass-reveal them and buyers willing to move beyond the big, boring and heavy boxes we now have."

He said the event is an opportunity for the public to see vehicles they've never seen before - vehicles powered by diesel, verve, gas and even wood. "This is a glimpse of the next generation of vehicles," he said.

The cars will be on display Wednesday in the Miles Passage parking lot from 4 to 6 p.m. The drive from Greenfield to Boston will begin at 11 a.m. Thursday from the parking lot. The cars will be displayed there from 9 a.m. until the constrain begins.

The cars will be on exhibit at the Greenfest - along with their energy consumption results - at City Auditorium Plaza in Boston on Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
