All the Technologies the Automobile Industry is using to Increase Gas Mileage

Undeniably, as technology is continuously innovating it stipulates in maintaining the frugality of materials used in a product. This is to control and sustain the balance between our necessities and demands in the economy. One of the most talked about issues of scarcity and demand nowadays is the supply and use of gasoline. Indeed, the automobile industries are facing challenges in preserving the cars’ gas mileage usage, as much as possible not to its maximum expense. In recent study, every year the car engines consumes up to 14 million of gas passing through its filter which makes it valuable to suggest that it’s better to buy new cars than to keep the old ones. It was found that older vehicles were escalating up to 10% of fuel consumptions due to its filthy filter unlike the new one that easily recognizes the car’s filter condition because of its more advanced auxiliary parts (Get Better Gas Mileage and Fuel Economy with these DYI Car Care Tips). And to address this predicament, the Chevrolet Malibu had released a new vehicle technology which uses only 5% of yearly fuel consumption. The Chevrolet Malibu Sedan 2014 model will benefit U.S. car owners because of its new “start-stop” technology engine control (see Figure 1).

Moreover, economic experts like Craig Rigby of Johnson Control Inc. are confident with his market allusions that by 2018, 35% of “start-stop” technology engine will vend in the U.S. vehicle market (Bennett, Mileage Boosters Give Second Wind to Car Parts Makers). Another form of car technology to boost the gas mileage performance is the electric-low cost hybrid engines.

Mike Tinskey of Ford Cars said Ford’s new car release is integrated with GPS technology in order to get the most out of fuel parsimony (Moore, How Technology is Boosting Hybrid’s Gas Mileage). This new amalgam of vehicle is said to escalate only of 3.5% – 5% in fuel consumption in the car market, as added.

A complex of condensed air and hydraulic technology engine is also making its way in the car market sales by 2016 (see figure 2). However, this is just a concept from a French car enthusiast Peugeot, he said that this is the solution of the United States’ gasoline policy, against the emanation of polluted gas from all types of vehicles.

With simultaneous research, the Toyota Engineers amassed a car model of compressed air-fuel technology last 2011 which impels a 129.2 kmph speed power and indeed would lessen the cost of fuel use, yet there is no final attest of the said model (Worthington, Gasoline Air Hybrid Technology Promises100+ mpg). It is said that if the car has less use of gas mileage, the better is the value of the engine. Speed exterminates the gas mileage so as your finances. So it is suggested to buy new cars which are developed with new hybrid technologies as mentioned. It is also helpful to watch out the vehicles spare parts which are significant in causing the mileage contemptible to the car value and the environment as well. Such improvements come in its way to address the demand of consumers, as automobile companies play the biggest share in the pie economic system. The desire of cheap cost vehicles had pushed automobile engineers to be wise in order to alleviate the financial dilemmas in the future.
