i'm just trolling the op sarcastically. Gas mileage is fking horrible lmao. 2 mpg drop. 19 mpg from 21, I'm almost as bad as american SUVs now mpg wise.
******* engine is straining its *** off. but current draw won't really affect gas milage in the sense that its loading the alternator.. like i said its less that 3hp. might be slightly noticable on a 4 bangger but not on a decent 6.
And you think 19 mpg is bad...
running 87. Toyota's dont like anything fancy as in there is zero difference between 87 and 91, i'm not running a performance or luxury car, the extra microscopic efficiency difference is not worth the extra price at all when they both are the same. I get at best 7 miles more with 91 for a full tank of gas. We californians are fked up the @ss with gas prices so it makes zero sense to get anything higher unless manufacturer requires it. Its the weight more than anything in my setup thats why i even mentioned it. Its funny how i still get better gas mileage than chevys, fords, and other gm large to midsized SUVs with no system.
Man about 20 years ago they mastered fuel atomization. No reason we shouldn't be getting 35mpg except the big oil companies don't want us to know
the new cars are getting 35 easy. However they wont survive a car crash lol. You'll survive but not the car...
I'm talking about a truck. Higher atomization and richer oxygen +cold air gives substantial gains.
no i't talking about force cooled. it took 10 years for someone to do it but dodge finally did it by redirecting the AC into the intake.
losses are losses. when you combine all the elements you get better efficiency
my dad Works for louisiana machinery the build 5+ MW generator units and from winter to summer they see a 10%-15% difference in output efficiency here in hte summer its about 95 with 80% humidity in the winter its about 45 with 75% humidity.they are generall dual tubro setups with intercoolers. Hes RUNS the shop and signs off on every drawing and designs the packages along with 2 other EEs and a ME. i've seen the load bank to test the generators and i've seen kvar vs engine load reading etc... so yea im pretty sure i seen it tested on the largest scale pretty much anyone will see it tested in modern day..
