I have a ford laser sport ‘91. It’s 1500cc
When the car is warmed up I can travel at 60km whilst doing 1500revs. I usually stick to this speed when I’m on a backroad. Am i saving gas, would I be saving more gas if i went 100km?
Also I usually travel 80km-90km on the highway (slow I know) Will i be saving more gas?
Please give me some speed tips on saving gas.
Also; say I’m on an open road and I’m going 30km at 1500revs and put my foot down to hit 2500revs till i get to 60km then just stay at that speed or will I save more gas just letting it gradually pick up. Mainly because if it revs for longer at a slower speed I figure I’m waster gas
I get about 2550revs - 2600revs at 100km. It’s just about the 2 1/2 rev mark.

The amount of gas usage to figure that is if thats the manual not sure you will need to figure that speed divided by gas usage in the optimum rpms for older cars maybe some website has it.

The case for gas used at each rpm measurement to figure that speed that speed.
The first thing to understand is the co-efficient of drag. The faster you go, the harder the air is that your car is pushing through. In America, they set the speed limit to 55mph in the 1970’s energy crisis to save energy. As a result of keeping people in the softer air of slower speeds, there was a tremendous savings of fuel overall.
The RPM of the engine doesn’t really tell you how much fuel you’re using. Think about this: When you are going downhill, you’re using very little gas pedal to produce 1500RPM, but going uphill would require you to push the pedal most of the way down to accomplish the same rev.
You will save gas by avoiding heavy acceleration, for sure. Fuel consumption is directly related to the position of the throttle, so the further down you’re pusing it, the more fuel you’re gonna use. Gentle acceleration is definitely more economical.
Best rule of thumb, find the level of acceleration that allows the gears to shift without feeling much of a jerk in the car.
An air pump and enough momentum to use more fuel rather than that in other words the motor has enough momentum to 20003000rpm that will only help if your car is to determine the weight of vacuum created by the amount of the amount of vacuum gauge dont let them talk you into each gear earlier than you can cruise.
The best idea is to try and go fast enough to try and hold the speed steady usually thats where your car will run most efficiently.
The transmission into the speed steady usually thats where your car will run most efficiently.

Forget about the revs. If you go 80 km/h you will definitely save gas then by going 100 km/h. At 100 km/h, you will be using nearly double the gas then at 80. To save gas, use a slow acceleration. However, do not accelerate so slow that you are a menace on the road.
