How to Improve Fuel Economy (2)

Get Your Tyres Right to Drive You Further

Tyre Inflation: Something that is simple and easy is to check your tyre pressures. This should be part of a regular routine such as once a week or as frequently as every time you fill your petrol tank or every second or third time. Some service stations may offer this service for you.

Your tyre pressures need to be right. If your car has low tyre pressure it will increase the rolling resistance of the tyre against the road surface, increasing the amount of energy the engine must produce to overcome the resistance. A separate issue of low tyre pressure is it will also cause premature wear of the tyre and decrease its lifespan adding further costs unnecessarily.

The manufacturers recommended levels will be contained in the owner’s manual and many times on the vehicle. Ensure your tyre pressures are maintained to this level as a minimum.

Tyre Rolling Resistance: There are tyres that are designed for and feature low levels of rolling resistance. Tyre makers are able to produce low rolling resistance tyres via a combination of tyre design and material. This tyre feature has increasingly more common and has been proven to improve fuel economy.

How to Improve Fuel Economy (1)

From today, we would love start our journey with you: How to Improve Fuel Economy, pls note these sgugest, will help you a lot for Fuel Economy.

1 Acceleration and Speed – Managing Your Right Foot

This may be the simplest and most effective hint for getting better fuel economy. The more rapid you accelerate the more petrol your car will use.

This of course means that your fuel economy will go down. The slower you accelerate the less petrol your car will use.

In relation to speed, even throughout acceleration, wind resistance increases its impact on a vehicle the greater the speed at which the vehicle is travelling. Did you know that cars are much more efficient when driving at around 75 km/hr than they are above 100km/hr or more?

The same vehicle may notice a difference of 15% or greater in fuel economy between travelling at 75 km/hr and 110 km/hr. As the car’s speed increases, air resistance causes friction and this consumes more power output and hence more fuel.

What can be done?When travelling on freeways, maintain a constant speed and try to brake less if possible. Moderate your acceleration and deceleration.

When approaching red traffic lights or places where you need to stop, don’t race up to them and then suddenly stop. It is better to safely moderate speed on such approaches and improves your fuel economy. If traffic lights change from red to green and traffic ahead moves along, that will help if you are able to move with the traffic without stopping.

Accelerating from a stationary position consumes more fuels that from a forward moving position. This technique will improve your fuel economy.

Here as below UOBD2 will instruct you on how to configure your mercedes Star Diagnosis and your SD connect in a wireless infrastructure network with an access point. I did not include steps to enable Road24h peer to peer network mainly since this method works so well for my needs.

1. You can set your router to have any SSID name. I set mine as workshop, I do recommended you to use a network key in the following format A123456789365 the number portion can be any combination. I have tested using various SSID names and any seem to work fine

2. Go to start menu, programs, service, setup Sdnet control and run it, once finished pc will reboot, I also suggest you delete the configuration from the SD connect. this is to start fresh.

3. Go to F:programmeDasbin and open the cal.ini file, you will need to modify from either T or D2 to W.

4. Be certain all WIFI and Lan drivers are installed and that you are connected to the wifi network you will be using. (During this entire process you should monitor the wifi status as it has a tendency to disconnect at times)

5. we now need to obtain some basic info from your network, go to start menu, settings, control panel and open network connections, double click the wireless network connection once window is open click support tab you will need to write down the IP address and the default gateway of your system so we can enter them later in SDNC.

6. Now go to the SDNC control panel by clicking the SDconnect icon once, after it is open select the configuration tab, click yes in the window that opens, now go to network, once open start at the bottom, for country settings leave them set to world, For Road WLAN enter values below: IP address: 192.168.2.222 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Network name: (ssid) Road24h Network authentication: open (wep128) Select hexadecimal and enter 26 lowercase a

9. next we need to manually set the IP address for the SDconnect, this will override the steps we took in item 8 above, we entered the 169 IP only so it would allow us to save the other changes we made within SDNC, if the IP was wrong we could not save any changes. Open control panel then network connections. double click local area connection, in the window labeled “this connection uses the following items: look for Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) usually at bottom and double click it select Obtain an IP address automatically and click ok. now go back and click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) again now select Use the following IP address and enter 172.29.127.112 hit the tab key to auto fill in the subnet mask and click ok then ok once again on the open window, when complete that window will automatically close may take a few moments for the IP to save and register. also make sure the wifi connection is still connected to your network, it may disconnect after we enter values in SDNC

10. Now we need to power up the SD connect using a 12v source. and connect to the pc via LAN cable, once it is powered up you will need to register/configure SDconnect. do this by going to the taskbar and click on the SDconnect icon once to open it. Once open click on Configuration tab then click yes on the pop-up window, next go to the MUX tab then click Register/configure this will open the SDconnect tool kit.
