Increasing Fuel Economy - By: Karl Cruz, Posted on: 2008-11-11

Due to regular hike of gas price in the world market, improving vehicle gas mileage is one the main aims of car drivers today and for the years to come. There are a number of information available on the Internet that provide ways on how to improve gas economy. Choosing a fuel-efficient car or SUV, keeping tires well inflated, utilizing the accurate octane level for the car, changing the oil on a specific time and reducing excess load are just some of the many convenient and simple ways to gain improved gas mileage.

However truck owners, more often than not, don’t recognize that there are performance parts available on several auto parts shops that are designed and constructed to boost gas economy. By improving your diesel performance and power qualities, you can dramatically improve the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Diesel emissions and oil stays cleaner longer, boosting power and performance and also prolonging the longevity of the engine!

Below is a listing of diesel performance parts that can provide enhanced gas mileage:

Air Intake Systems – Air filters and air intakes can improve gas consumption by bringing enough amount of air into the internal-combustion engine. The dirt particles can be trapped inside the passages and then eventually create obstruction, resulting to immense airflow restriction. And when this happens, only a lesser amount of oxygen is available for ignition with fuel, therefore resulting to poor performance. However with the use of air filters, no more dirt that can stop the oxygen from going to the engine, thus producing greater combustion. And this can result to better gas mileage, and it can increase the life of your engine. On the other hand, the air intake kits are used to replace the stock engine’s air box and filter. The kit can maximize air flow and lets the engine to breathe easier, therefore producing more horsepower and torque.

There are lots of makes of air intakes on the market today that give the similar purpose which is to maximize air flow going to the engine for efficient fuel combustion. Also, air intake products are available in various designs and configurations, and are constructed using rubber, metal, silicone and other composite substances.

Exhaust Systems – If you think that exhaust kits can’t improve gas mileage, think again. Normally, stock exhausts with narrow pipes and tight bends limit the flow of gases that come out from the engine which lead to choking the engine. If this is the case, your car will have less combustion thus decreasing its performance and will gain inefficient gas utilization. However with use of aftermarket exhaust systems, you can have a free flowing exhaust where burnt gases from the engine will flow and quickly come out in the tailpipe, leaving no impediments to the passage. Proper flow of burnt gas helps produce superb combustion which can lead to improved gas economy. Not to mention the extreme horsepower and torque that your car can have, making hauling, towing and climbing almost effortless.

Different makes and models of exhaust kits are available today. Depending on the style of the system, an exhaust product might include a cylinder head, exhaust manifold, turbocharger, catalytic converter and a low restriction muffler.

Electronic Tuning Products – Re-programming your car’s computer to optimize its performance according to your specific specifications and style of driving is also another method of obtaining improved gas mileage. As we all know that majority of stock cars are just tuned to facilitate average drivers in a huge variety of conditions. So, if you want to manipulate your vehicle stock settings to match your preference and driving needs, electronic controllers and program tuners are powerful solutions specifically for computer-controlled autos. Furthermore, there are performance chips that are programmed for intense power and to give better fuel mileage than the stock tuning.

Remember that the mentioned auto parts above might improve your gas economy. But still, the best practice is to run your vehicle more efficiently and keep it tuned properly to save gas on your everyday trip.
