Video tips on increasing MPG $$$$

[GeneralZod]

We are all suckers for saving money/environment. Here are videos from a guy that takes it to the next level. I enjoy his accent too, he needs to do voice overs for animation. You can browse his channel, as he does a ton of research. His methods most of all are SAFE, which is what you should strive for before MPG. Common sense.

The biggest mod you can do to your car is tighten the nut behind the wheel... :sadbanana: Yeah, I did type that.

Some "nuts" should not be tightened. Been sinched up by a harness before when i missed the side rails of the rig I was dropping into. Damn retractable lanyard not letting me drop another 3" to the deck of the rig.



I mostly tend to try different things with teh car to see what it responds best to. I find the DFCO is very spotty with this car. It will jump in and out as the engine speed falls. Sometimes it just holds steady at a set RPM even though no throttle input is there.

Thanks Eric, I figure if people watch this it will answer many questions. Also avoid some debates. I have read this guys posts for years. Watched his videos for around two years.

I started finding ways to save fuel as a kid on boats. Dock side fuel cost cripple a 14 year old racing jet skis and speed boats. Especially when you use a 1/4 tank going to safe areas to test. Also where I learned how to work on diesels because pops loved watching me in a hot engine bay while he drank coffee.

That knowledge transitioned to the family business, which involved the use of heavy machinery. Cutting the fuel and maintenance cost by 10% increased profits. This is a field that diesel costs a day are that of yearly Sonic fuel costs.

I miss it in a way...
