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.

SportsGolden Eaglets And Their Previous Romance Wt South Americans by umbo(op): 7:20pm On Oct 31, 2015
The Golden Eaglets will take
on Brazil in the quarter-finals
of the 2015 U-17 World Cup in
Chile. This is the first time
both teams will square off at
this level in a FIFA-organized
competition.
If past meetings against
South American opposition
are to be taken into
consideration, then the
Eaglets shouldn't lose sleep
over Brazil.
Ahead of Sunday's clash,
Completesportsnigeria.com's
JAMES AGBEREBI unveils 10
key facts about the Eaglets
against South American
teams…
NIGERIA AND BRAZIL HAVE
NEVER MET AT THE U-17
WORLD CUP
Since the Golden Eaglets
made their debut at the
inaugural edition of the FIFA
U-17 World Cup in China in
1985, this is the first time
ever they will be meeting
Brazil. They've met other top
South American teams like
Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia
and just recently Chile. But
they've never crossed paths
with Brazil.
BOLIVIA WERE THEIR FIRST
EVER SOUTH AMERICAN
OPPONENTS AT THE U-17
WORLD CUP
The Golden Eaglets first ever
South American opponents at
the FIFA U-17 World Cup were
Bolivia in Canada 1987. They
met in the group stage with
the Eaglets winning 3-2
thanks to a Philip Osondu
hat-trick.
THE EAGLETS HAVE MET
SOUTH AMERICAN
OPPOSITION NINE TIMES
The game against Brazil will
be the 10th time the Golden
Eaglets will be meeting a
South American team. In the
nine previous encounters, the
Eaglets have won seven,
drawn one and lost one.
ARGENTINA HAVE MET THE
GOLDEN EAGLETS MORE
TIMES (5) THAN ANY OTHER
SOUTH AMERICAN TEAM
The Golden Eaglets have
played against Argentina five
times at the U-17 World Cup.
This is the most times they
have faced a South American
team. In these five times both
teams have clashed, the
Eaglets have won three times,
lost one and drawn one.
Their first meeting ended 0-0
in the group stage in Scotland
1989. The second meeting in
Japan 1993 saw the Eaglets
win 4-0. Both teams didn't
clash again until Finland 2003
where the Argentines won
1-0. The Eaglets defeated
Argentina 2-0 and 2-1 in
South Korea 2007 and Nigeria
2009 respectively.
THE EAGLETS' ONLY LOSS TO
A SOUTH AMERICAN
OPPONENT WAS AGAINST
ARGENTINA
The Eaglets' only defeat to a
South American team was
against Argentina. The Eaglets
lost 1-0 in their last group
game in Finland 2003.
THE GOLDEN EAGLETS HAVE
MET SOUTH AMERICAN
OPPOSITION TWICE IN THE
QUARTER-FINALS
The game against Brazil will
be the third time the Eaglets
will face a South American
team in the quarter-finals.
The first time they met a
South American team at this
stage was in 2007 in South
Korea which the Eaglets won
2-0.
In 2013 in the United Arab
Emirates, they also beat
Uruguay 2-0 in the last eight.
THE EAGLETS ALWAYS MADE
IT TO THE FINAL AFTER
BEATING A SOUTH
AMERICAN OPPONENT
At the 1987 edition in Canada,
the Eaglets defeated Bolivia
3-2 and got to the final but
unfortunately they lost to the
Soviet Union on penalties.
They took on Argentina in
Japan 1993, won 4-0 and went
on to win their second title.
In the second round and
quarter-final at the 2007
edition in South Korea, the
Eaglets beat Colombia and
Argentina 2-1 and 2-0
respectively. They went on to
beat Spain in the final.
Needing a win or draw to
confirm their qualification
into the second round in
2009, the Eaglets beat
Argentina 2-1. But
surprisingly, they lost 1-0 in
the final to Switzerland.
And in the United Arab
Emirates in 2013, the Eaglets
beat Uruguay 2-0 in the
quarter-final before going on
to beat Mexico 3-0 in the
final.
BIGGEST SCORELINE
AGAINST A SOUTH
AMERICAN OPPOSITION
The Golden Eaglets' biggest
ever scoreline against a South
American team was against
Chile in the on-going U-17
World Cup.
The Eaglets won 5-1 in their
Group A clash. The biggest
scoreline prior to the win
against Chile was the 4-0
defeat handed to Argentina at
Japan 1993.
THE EAGLETS WENT ON TO
WIN THE TROPHY AFTER
BEATING TWO SOUTH
AMERICAN COUNTRIES IN
THE SAME TOURNAMENT
The first and only time the
Eaglets met two different
South American countries in
the same tournament was in
South Korea 2007. The Eagles
defeated both Colombia and
Argentina and went on to win
the cup.
In the on-going U-17 World
Cup, the Eaglets beat Chile
5-1 in the group stage, and
will meet Brazil in the
quarter-finals.
THE EAGLETS HAVE NEVER
CONCEDED MORE THAN
TWO GOALS AGAINST A
SOUTH AMERICAN TEAM
Bolivia is the only South
American team to have
scored two goals against the
Eaglets. The Eaglets went on
to win 3-2. In Finland 2003,
they lost 1-0 to Argentina, in
South Korea 2007, they beat
Colombia 2-1, Argentina was
beaten 2-1 in 2009 and in the
on-going U-17 World Cup,
they thrashed Chile 5-1
