It doesn't seem to care how much gas is in the tank -- it gets better mileage on the freeway than it does around town.
half full on cruise controlWhen does your car get better gas mileage?
After a chicken phall.
Almost empty because it is lighter in weight.When does your car get better gas mileage?
The more gas in the tank, the better. It's evaporation.
If you had a full glass of water opposed to a half full glass of water sitting in the sun, which one do you think would evaporate the quickest? You're right (I'm sure). The glass with the less water in it!
Go fill up that tank!
well, half full and half empty are the same thing..
technically there will be a SLIGHT increase in mileage per gallon when there are only 5 gallons in the tank vs. 35 gallons because of the simple fact that with a full tank you are pulling more weight. and that is the only difference.
and cruise control is very bad for fuel efficiency... woa, in all of john d's years of driving he's never heard that... must not be true then... C/C doesn't coast when your coming up to something, it doesn't think of whats ahead and consider your whole journey, it just gives it more and more gas till its going fast enough, then sharply drops throttle, then just as sharply hits the gas again.
the difference between half full and above and half full and below is minute you wont notice the difference. and as far as the cruise control being bad for mileage, in all my years of driving i have never heard that. but it does save on speeding tickets. your car gets the fuel mileage it gets. if its full, what difference is it if the tank is full and your hauling 3 people in your car with you or if its empty? if you really want to know the answer, you might try consumer reports, if anyone has made a study of that, they would have. good luck
first off there is no more evaporation in your fuel system whether or not the tank is full the system is sealed and under a vacuum while the car is operating (ever notice the sucking sound when you open the gas cap)
second the cruise control is a very inefficient use of gas it trys to keep a certain speed and does not use momentum of hills.
third it only seems like the vehicle uses less gas when the tank is full this is due to the way the tank is designed and the float on the sending unit. if you look at most tanks the bottom usually has a small taper to it the volume is greater at the top of the tank. also when you fill it you do sink the float at the top (ever notice the tank registers as completely full longer than any other position)
If you want to increase your efficiency your best bet is to keep a clean air filter in it always and keep your tires properly inflated
I would say with a full tank and good use. to the best of my knowledge.
whenyou don't turn the key and get a ride from someone else
Your car gets better gas mileage when the tank is half full or more.
Chevron gasoline, that's what I use. Everyone says it works.
And keeping your vehicle seviced, tire pressure is important.
it seems like it goes down the fastest from the F to 3/4. then after that it goes down gradually. it just seems like it to me
