With today's increasing fuel costs that seem to be changing hourly, it has brought consumers to realize something must be done to justify their daily needs of transportation.
Due to the unfortunate back-to-back hurricanes Katrina and Rita this season, major damage was done to the United States Gulf Coast oil platforms and refineries. Having to shutdown these facilities in preparation for the impact of the storms unfortunately disturbs the fuel refining process. This has definitely contributed to the current astronomical fuel costs and will continue for some time, and with this crisis fresh in our minds, we wanted to show you there are certain things that can be done to help improve your fuel consumption.
The greater the cubic inches of an engine means the more air/fuel atomization can be drawn into the cylinder, compressed into the combustion chamber, and ignited, giving a more powerful charge of the power stroke. By increasing horsepower to an engine, it will consume more fuel-that's just physics. It's all about intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust, or as the pros say, "suck, squeeze, bang, and blow."
