2012 Focus fuel economy
I am planning a trip to New Orleans from Toronto in Feb. and am wondering if there are any easy things I can do to benefit my fuel economy. It is dead stock right now, except for Mobil 1 5W20 oil and a Wix filter? Are there any cold air kits or chips available?
Thanks! |
The average cold air intake cost about 200dollars, and the car computer will cope for the extra air by adding more fuel. So yes you may get a less restrictive air pathway, but I don't think you will see a big increase in mpgs.
If i were you, I would take that 200 dollars and use it toward the fuel. Its better to learn how to drive more efficiently. When I say that i mean: 1) Control how much gas you give the car when accelerating from a stop. 2) Cruise control on the highway 3) It makes no sense to have a drag race to every stop sign 4) It makes no sense to continue accelerating when coming to a red light, coast. Stuff like that will help you when it comes to fuel economy. I drive an awd truck and by following these steps Ive cut my fuel consumption by a large amount. |
