How to Increase Fuel Economy in Your All Terrain Vehicle

Importance of Knowing About Fuel Efficiency of your ATV's

ATV used in Farm

         Fuel economy and miles per gallon were not a problem that you used to hear most people bring up when it comes to ATVs. Nowadays, world of crushing oil prices and rising fuel costs, it has begun to come up more and more often. This is especially true in industries such as farming and ranching in which all terrain vehicles are not used for pleasure; instead, they are used in most of the work done in the farm.  And as such, they are evaluated as to the return they yield on the investment they require. If an ATV, or even an entire fleet of them, is burning or releasing too much gas, then it could have affect  on a ranch or farm's health and bottom line profits.

Ways to Maximize the Fuel Savings in your All Terrain Vehicle

 

Tune-Up. Every engine needs to be tuned up from time to time to improve its performance. ATV's are no different from cars in this respect.

 

Weight. Lesser the load will decrease the amount of fuel consumed in any vehicle.

Aerodynamics. The simple physics behind helping wind flow over a vehicle applies to race cars as well as ATVs. Less drag, less power needed.

Additives. The stuff commonly found on shelves is designed to be added to 20 gallon tanks or bigger. A capful every half-dozen or so fill-ups is all you need.

Wide-Open. One of the simplest ways to increase your ATV is backing off the throttle and riding not carelessly.

Air Pressure. Running uneven tire pressure can lower fuel efficiency by 15%

       

         In a lot of ways you can look at your ATV as if a racing car you want to improve fuel efficiency. Applying these ways, can have your ATV's fuel economy well over the 40 mpg mark.

Improvement in Auto Fuel Efficiency

          U75 Bill Seeks 100 Per Gent Fuel Improvement TON (AP) industry maintains is map; m.. V "WASHINGTON (AP) In a major response to the continuing energy crisis, the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday a bill requiring a 100 per cent improvement in auto fuel efficiency by 1985.' The bill, which the auto industry maintains is unneeded, sets standards requiring a 50 per cent improvement in gas mileage by 1980. The standards would require the nation's automakers to produce 1980 model cars capable of achieving 21 miles per gallon and 1985 model cars capable' of 28 miles per gallon. 

          The bill covers the 1971 through 1985 model years and is based on improvements over the gas mileage achieved by 1974 model year passenger automobiles. The 11.5 Commerce Committee vote came as President Leonard Woodcock of the United Auto Workers Union told (he Senate Public Works Committee it will be disastrous if Congress insists on requiring improved fuel efficiency and stricter auto emission standards at the same time. The presidents of the four large American car makers later pleaded their case for a five-year moratorium on clean air standards.
