It does not, what it does is to enhance proper combustion thereby normalizing fuel consumption to the standard set by vehicle manufacturer. 83 Likes 5 Shares |

Catalytic Converter reduces harmful emission such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide through redox reaction but DOESN'T reduce fuel consumption. What reduces fuel consumption are; OEM standard for tyre air pressure, apply brake carefully, good 02 sensors, quality oil for engine maintenance, quality fuel, don't idle too long, don't throttle carelessly, When vehicle is on top speed, use AC, don't keep too much loads on your boot, don't drive too slow or too fast(with windows down) Etc...

Nothing of such. It is an Africa mentality and the car mechanicals who have embedded the ideas into our head. Removing car catalyst doesn't increase fuel consumption. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

I once bought an Honda EOD,very clean and cheap,it was sounding like a sport car.would buy 4k fuel and it would finish within 2 days and I didn’t go far….they told me they had eaten the akara of the car.akara is the street name for catalyst…I bought another around 35k and it fuel consumption went back to normal…..panelbeater plenty for police station accused of stealing that stuff 148 Likes 12 Shares |

Re: Does Catalytic Converter Actually Reduces Fuel Consumption? by Sukersoc: 6:26am On May 28, 2022 |
The simple answer is no. What it reduces is the emission of carbon monoxide which is harmful to the environment. It does so through a process of conversion of the carbon monoxide to another compound which I don't know now. That's why it's called a catalytic converter. I usually laugh when my mechanic tells me, my increased fuel consumption is from my catalytic converter(indomie). 17 Likes 1 Share |

14yrs of driving, currently own 3 cars, and somehow I am just coming across the word catalytic converter!!! So I thought to myself, How is this even possible.......I had to run to Google.. And realized that it's because I have never had issues with my exhaust in any of my cars.. 25 Likes 1 Share |

In most modern vehicles, when there is an engine or transmission malfunction , it displays the check engine light, this switches the vehicle from standard operating design, to one that limits power output and protects the engine or transmission from further damage that could result in continued use in that state. You would notice things like check 4WD Traction off VSC OFF And so on. In certain circumstances the engine would be limited to revs below 3000 rotations per sec. Irrespective of the presence or absence of a catalyst, an engine or transmission code will cause a vehicle to run less optimally which in turn would mean the vehicle consume more than it should. Avoid errors on your vehicle at all costs. You can also check this thread to acquire more knowledge about devices that help detect errors. https://www.nairaland.com/6885954/xtool-advance-ad10-auto-car You can also check this link if your car does not have a catalyst. https://www.nairaland.com/6280487/catalytic-converter-problems-cheap-solution#96462231 Finally you can follow this link for smart devices . https://www.nairaland.com/7147283/smart-devices-hottiecoach 36 Likes 3 Shares |
