Improve your fuel economy

A sluggish lambda sensor, a defective coolant sensor that always stays cold, a throttle position sensor that has a dead spot and an air mass sensor that isn’t reading accurately can all hurt performance, fuel economy and emissions. Cambiare offer a vast range of engine management products that can help fix these types of problems and improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.

As well as maintaining your motor by monitoring engine management parts and ensuring your car is rolling smoothly - there are some other ways that can help you save on fuel:

Lose some weight - Having unnecessary weight in your vehicle wastes fuel, particularly during acceleration.  If there is heavy stuff in your boot you don’t need, ditch it.

Be a smooth operator - Accelerating quickly on your push bike is a strain on your legs, and it’s no different for your motor.  But accelerating too slowly can also limit fuel economy if it keeps you in lower gears (where fuel economy is poor) for too long.

Don’t be a drag - Once you get to about 30 mph a car uses more energy to overcome wind resistance than it does fighting rolling resistance. So you want your car to be as aerodynamic as possible for motorway driving. Having a sun roof open, windows down, or leaving a roof box or bike rack on your car, can increase drag.

Don’t be a revhead - Over revving your car is an easy way to waste fuel.  As a general rule you want to change up a gear before reaching 2,500 revs.  In a diesel car this figure is closer to 2,000 revs although the optimum revs for fuel economy can be even lower in certain cars.
