DIY: Fuel Economy Gauge for your car (to lower your car's fuel consumption)

[ghosthunter]

mas magbebenifit ata dito ung mga MT users.. us AT users unless modern AT/CVT na, di ata magiging accurate ang results

M/T or A/T ... you will benefit from this.

[kinyo]

True... but at least now you would be a visual aid to know how "light" is light enough.

i agree ... in my experience, after using it for a few years, i developed that light foot habit, got the feel of how the car behaves, and eventually doing good fuel economy without having to look at the gauge

yup, its a good tool to help one develop a good habit ... and it applies on MT or AT, sir a_y

one can only wish, with all the electronic wizardry installed on cars these days, that every car have this fancy digital km/li readout to help drivers conserve fuel (as some have already done)

sa conventional AT diba you're still at the mercy ng torque converter? kaya di mo mmacocontrol ang up and down shift...

*GH:

may schematics ka?

yup ... but you still have control of vacuum ... regardless of gear the AT selects, keeping vacuum at 'high' (with your pedal) will translate to low fuel consumption

and the only way to keep vacuum 'high' is a light foot

saan and how much po pakabit niyan?

Just ask your suking car accessory store for prices for the vacuum gauge and installation cost.

OK.. ask ko lang: wala naman effect/variation ng reading if with VVT/CVTC/MIVEC/VTEC ang engine?

Does this mean you have to achieve the good portion very time?

[ghosthunter]

OK.. ask ko lang: wala naman effect/variation ng reading if with VVT/CVTC/MIVEC/VTEC ang engine?

Nope, no effect whatever type of gasoline engine you have.
