Car TalkRe: Is Nissan Sunny A Good Buy For A Student by umbo: 8:25am On Nov 16, 2015
princeogbeide1:
But Nissan products such as the Sunny! Almera and premerers are not fitted with a solid enjine. The engine of these products are almost similar, there are aluminum in nature and cannot withstand changing of gasket, in most cases when the gasket get burnt as a result of one or two radiating issues, the engine ought to be replaced completely to avoid further problems. still @ that this engine have a limited speed, their top cylinder can burst when you roughly accelerate on a very high speed. casually, it can be manageable when you carefully handle it.

Car TalkRe: Fuel Treatment: How Effective Is It? by umbo: 2:48pm On Nov 10, 2015
read this


I have a friend who swears by those gasoline
additives that claim to increase your gas
mileage. I think they’re all worthless. Am I
right?
You can understand why people want to
believe this type of product works.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could pour an
additive or pop a pill into your gas tank at
each fill-up that would significantly
increase your car’s gas mileage? But fuel
additives — both commercial and
homebrewed — are almost always a waste
of money. With one notable exception
(keep reading), these additives simply will
not increase your car’s mpg. If you really
want better gas mileage, your best bet is to
drive a fuel-efficient vehicle, and drive it
frugally.
To understand why so many of these
additives are ineffective, it’s helpful to
understand that all modern engines are
controlled by the vehicle’s on-board
computer. The computer relies on sensors
to adjust engine functions, including fuel
delivery, ignition timing and — on the
most advanced engines — when the intake
and exhaust valves open and close.
Mileage-boosting fuel additives claim to
increase the combustion efficiency of
gasoline. But the automaker programs a
vehicle’s computer to have optimal fuel
economy with straight gasoline in the tank.
Change the chemistry, and you may
actually find a decrease in both
performance and mpg — if there is any
real change at all. Also, consider this: If
there really were safe, cost-effective
additives to increase fuel economy,
wouldn’t some gasoline brands already be
trying to sell them to you (along with their
gas)?
This is a “buyer beware” scenario. Some of
these mpg additives come wrapped in
elaborate marketing schemes designed to
play on our desires to one-up Big Oil, save
money and do the right thing for the
environment. Don’t buy it. Don’t believe
glowing user testimonials either. If these
testimonials have any degree of truth, any
actual changes in mileage after using mpg-
enhancing additives are more likely due to
a change in driving style than to the effects
of the additive. A strong placebo effect can
happen when people really want these
additives to work in order to justify the
expense. That enhanced motivation makes
a driver pay more attention to driving
efficiently, and the results are predictable.
(Affecting your mileage through your
driving habits is easier than many people
realize. I evaluate cars and trucks for a
living, and I can easily alter the fuel
economy of a vehicle by as much as 25 to
30 percent by the way I drive it.)
You’ll also find some people who swear by
homemade concoctions to increase fuel
economy. Acetone, sometimes mixed with
other chemicals, is a popular DIY fuel
economy enhancer. This mpg trick may
have other consequences however, such as
shortening the life of your vehicle’s seals
and gaskets, and perhaps harming the
emission control sensors.
So what’s the one fuel additive that is
worthwhile? Fuel injection cleaners can
sometimes improve fuel economy. If you
or your mechanic suspects that your
injectors are gummed up and not
functioning properly, cleaning the system
with an additive may help increase fuel
economy by helping the engine work the
way the factory intended it to.
