This is for everyone but I would like for the Scan Gauge users to supply the answers.
I would like to put together a list of questions and answers that I have(others may have as well and others can add to the questions) that could potentially save us all some gas and increase our mpg. Ideally, more than one or two people should respond so we can see the variation and take the average. I would like to take all speculation out and leave the harassment out as well.(I know you can do it)
NOTE: This should be for a HONDA FIT only
- At what mph should we use A/C vs. the windows being down(how far down should all 4 windows be, if you can answer it)
- Does running the fan on cool but no A/C decrease mpg?
- Does running the heat make one loose mpg? If so, when should one use it or not?
- In 1st gear does the fuel cut off when you coast in gear? If so, what mph does the fuel start again?
- In 2nd gear does the fuel cut off when you coast in gear? If so, what mph does the fuel start again?
- In 3rd gear does the fuel cut off when you coast in gear? If so, what mph does the fuel start again?
- In 4th gear does the fuel cut off when you coast in gear? If so, what mph does the fuel start again?
- In 5th gear does the fuel cut off when you coast in gear? If so, what mph does the fuel start again?
- How does using the head lights affect mpg?
- How does using the head lights and fog lights affect mpg?
- How does the radio affect mpg?
- How does tire pressure affect mpg? What is the optimum tire pressure for best mpg?
- Please contribute your questions, I can’t think of everything.
P.S. I do not have a scan gauge but the above are questions I would research if I did have one.
Thanks, in advance.
