The half-ton EcoDiesel will be rated at 32 miles per gallon (mpg) highway, 22 mpg city for 4x2 models; 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city for 4x4 models. Ram 1500’s unsurpassed 29 mpg highway fuel economy rating for 4x4 models is significant in that 4x4 models represent more than 80% of the U.S. full-size truck mix.
The Corolla Eco-badged models will achieve an estimated highway fuel economy rating of more than 40 mpg (5.88 The new CVTi-S will provide a more linear connection between pedal effort and acceleration feel compared to previous CVT designs. The LE Eco grade is differentiated by a more efficient 140-horsepower, 1.8-liter
Used Priuses, especially the Generation 2 that were made from 2004 to 2009 are becoming a bargain to buy, especially for the MPG and features you get in return. The official fuel consumption is 5 l/100 km (47 mpg US) and that is bang on for us as well. l/100 km (51 mpg US) in the summer, and 5.3 l/100 km (44 mpg US) in winter.

Intelligent composite construction.
liters per 100 km (33 mpg US). The 2,967 cc TDI uses a twin-turbo design in which the two turbochargers are connected in series via a flap. Cylinder head cooling, the timing and lift of the intake cam shafts, the pistons, their oil-jet cooling and the piston pins have been specially designed for the high-performance concept.

Low-friction lubricants: low viscosity and advanced low friction lubricants oils are now available with improved performance and better lubrication.
Due to lifetime filling with low-friction oil the transmission now runs more smoothly and thus more economically. Low slippage with the lock-up clutch creates a direct connection at the accelerator pedal and thus high agility. This means that the oil heats up quickly to minimise friction losses after a cold start.
Volvo Car has enhanced its mobile app, Volvo On Call, with a new design, extra features and added vehicle connectivity. The app also enables users to connect with the plug-in diesel V60 Hybrid. New functions specific to the V60 D6 AWD Plug-in Diesel Hybrid incude: Passenger compartment preconditioning.

The crankshaft group—crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods—is distinguished by low moving masses and low friction. Other new options are Volkswagen Media Control and App Connect.
turbo is standard on Eco ( earlier post ), LT and LTZ models and helps the Cruze Eco achieve up to an estimated 40 mpg on the highway (with a standard six-speed manual transmission), which is expected to be the best fuel economy in the compact car segment. Connecting rods and pistons. Variable-flow oil pump. Oil-water cooler.
The two-piece housing design has been retained: the torque converter housing is made of lightweight aluminium, while the transmission housing with weight-optimized plastic oil pan is made of an even lighter magnesium alloy. The purpose of the multi-disc clutches is to transfer the drive torque between two components as a friction connection.
Hyundai’s all-new 2017 Hyundai Elantra arrives in dealerships this month, featuring two new, more efficient powertrains; lower weight; improved stiffness, and a number of safety and connectivity technologies. The Eco trim is projected to achieve an estimated 35 mpg combined rating based on internal testing. Connectivity.
It offers greater efficiency and refinement, along with new, available safety and connectivity features. Engine efficiency is also enhanced through reduced friction, including low-friction piston rings, a low-friction camshaft drive and a low-friction oil pump. GM estimates that Spark with the CVT will deliver 40 mpg (5.88
Elio Motors, the start-up developing a $6,800, 84-mpg- (2.8l/100 As the team began to dive into some of the details and changes to meet the desired Elio targets, it found that the Geo Metro engine would not meet the fuel efficiency targets to enable the vehicle fuel economy goal of 84 mpg highway. Current prototype of the Elio.
However, it is also more fuel efficient, picking up 2 mpg on the EPA combined cycle rating—an increase of 9% over the 2017 model. (As EPA-estimated fuel economy for front-wheel drive models rises to 22 mpg in city driving, 27 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg in combined driving. Select compact SUVs. 2018 VW Tiguan.
The fourth-generation Highlander offers the choice between a powerful V6 or new-generation hybrid powertrain, with the gas version offering a manufacturer-estimated 22 MPG combined fuel economy and the Hybrid offering an manufacturer-estimated 34 MPG combined fuel economy.
DeCicco’s analysis shows that optimizing internal combustion engines plus rising adoption of grid-free hybrids will enable new fleet fuel economy (unadjusted) to reach 52 mpg (4.52 L/100km) by 2025 and 74 mpg (3.18 Adjusted on-road fuel economy correspondingly would be 41 mpg (5.74 L/100km) and 60 mpg (3.92

Its drive unit has been integrated into the “duopump”: the oil pump and vacuum pump share a common case. The Audi A1 1.0
l/100 km) and 30 mpg (7.9 Increased efficiency in all of the new Ecotec engines is achieved in part through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump. Modular balance shaft system in the oil pan. Two-stage variable-displacement oil pump.
GM says the ATS will be able to deliver peak highway fuel economy of more than 30 mpg. Increased efficiency in the new four-cylinders was achieved partly through lower engine friction, which was reduced by up to 16% using new technologies such as a variable-displacement oil pump and, with the 2.5L, an actively controlled thermostat.
These include a smart alternator that recovers energy while coasting and stores it in the battery; engine cooling circuit optimization that reduces the warm-up time; and a variable displacement oil pump that adjusts the oil pressure in the most appropriate way, reducing the power consumed by the pump. Turbo Petrol LPG. l/100 km (26.4

Owners of most vehicles can purchase, for example, a ScanGauge and plug it into the OBD-II ( On Board Diagnostics II ) data port of their cars, which would allow them to view an estimate of instantaneous MPG while driving. The VDO gauge I obtained is normally connected to a sender unit that varies in resistance with changes in oil pressure.
The single-piece pistons, made from steel to maximize their service life, each feature two compression rings, an oil control ring and splash-oil cooling. The fine plateau honing of the cylinder liners likewise reduces oil consumption as well as friction losses. L/100km (9.1
