- ensuring their car is properly maintained, with the correct tyre pressures, to ensure smooth running and maximum vehicle efficiency.
- choosing not to use the car when there is a more environmentally friendly option (walking, cycling, trains, etc.)
- driving with a more fuel-saving mindset: lifting off the accelerator in advance of junctions, reductions in speed limits, obstructions, red light etc. and coasting, rather than driving under power to within a few meters then braking hard; accelerating in an efficient manner (not too quickly, but not so slowly as to spend too long in the lower gears); using the gears in the most efficient manner, block-changing if appropriate
- reading the road conditions ahead more accurately, allowing more efficient driving
- not carrying excess weight in their car, or adding excess drag when not required (e.g. empty roof racks).
- being more aware of the increased fuel consumption due to aerodynamic drag as speeds increase beyond 50mph

Which is faster? The Acura RSX Type-S (04 and up) or a Volkswagon Golf GTI (03 and up)?



To Musonic: what is a "breaking" distance?
The word "break" means to cause something to fail, snap, etc.
The word "brake" means a device for slowing a mechanical machine, or the action of using such a device.
Hence, the distance required to slow a car to a stop, using the brakes, is the "braking" distance. The "breaking" distance, if such a thing existed, would be the distance required to cause the car to fail.

I always thought that we used brakes on cars so the answer to the question is 6 because if you think that is the increase in braking distance you will break your car.

How much does it cost for a leaner's permit, and the test for the learners permit........

1) Swap the standard cheapo paper air filter for a K&N one, as the K&N one traps more dirt (so the fuel so burn more cleanly & efficiently) + only needs to be cleaned out and stuck back in, and in all probabilty will outlast the car
In comparison, the standard paper ones get slung in the bin after 12months on go into the local landfill.

Sexiest car under $50k?


2) Follow the advice of motoring columnist "Honest John", and don't use Supermarket petrol as they have less engine cleaning detergents in them... which causes carbon to build up in the engine, which causes more emissions to build up... which is why (when I used to do work experience in a garage) before taking a car for it's M.O.T. at another garage, they used to take a car for a thrash up one of the steepest hills in the area (Blue Bank, A169 nr Sleights) to give the engine a clean out so it would get through the emissions test.
Every 3rd fill-up use either "Shell V-Power" or "Texaco Clean System3" or whatever it's called.

I have 2 cars, a 4x4 and a golf (both are very efficient with regards to MPG, the 4x4 is much faster but the golf has a lower carbon output and although it's not as comfortable it is more environmentaly friendly so gets used more).

There's a car for sale on the road outside my house who can i phone to get the car removed as this is illegal.


I currently use the golf for about 90% of my driving, the 4x4 is mainly used to pull my boat and is therfore a must to have, the Golf simply won't do the job.

Why do straight-four-cylinder engines sound so bad?


However with the increase in car tax, as I have to have the 4x4, I may as well get rid of the Golf and just use the 4x4. RESULT I will actually save money (sale of golf, only 1 car tax) but create a greater carbon output.

Were there any other cars that were powered by rotary engines other than ones produced by mazda?


If I paid tax based on fuel used then I could keep both and use as now, 90% golf with less carbon, 10% 4x4.
