  1. Assignments Reminders • Final ExamDay 13 • Road & Sign info • Notebook info • “3 crashes” (due on day 14) • My Car (due on Day 14)

  2. Church van crashes into canal, killing 8 and injuring 10 • The van crashed after the driver apparently missed a stop sign at an unlit T-intersection surrounded by farmland, sending the vehicle across four lanes and plunging through tall grasses into a shallow canal. • Eighteen people were in the 15-seat-capacity van when it crashed about 12:30 a.m. Monday, about halfway through their trip home.

  3. My Car Assignment(Assignment Due on day 14) • Make • Body Style • Year • Serial Number (VIN) • Number of cylinders

  10. Jump Starting A Car • Make sure voltage are the same • Turn off both cars • Set park brake • + cables to + posts • – cables to – post on good battery; – cable to engine block • Start good car; start dead car • Disconnect in reverse order

  11. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Facts you need to know • About 37% is release through the exhaust pipe as heat • The size of the car is related to efficiency • High speed is less efficiency than lower speed • Passenger cars used about 14% of the fuel • 31% of all petroleum is used by the U.S. • A gas conscious driver can get 30-50% better gas mileage

  12. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Good habits to develop • Avoid pumping the accelerator • Warm up Engine as you drive • A slow moving car warms the engine faster than idling • Change gear gently & quickly • Accelerate Smoothly

  13. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Good habits to develop • Make required stops smooth & gradual • Avoid unnecessary braking • Avoid unnecessary Idling • Saves gas when parking • Spilling & evaporating • Never rev your engine before shutting off

  14. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Good habits to develop • Use momentum for the upgrade • Use gravity for downgrade • Slow down going into curves

  15. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Good habits to develop • Keep speed below 55 mph • Wind resistance • Keep speed constant • Maintain accurate space margins

  16. Driving habits for Saving Fuel • Good habits to develop • Use A/C only when necessary • Above 40 mph roll windows up • At City speed A/C reduces gas mileage

  17. Preventative maintenanceMajor tune-up • Follow owner’s manual • 10,000 miles • If your car • is hard to start • Runs rough • gas mileage drop

  18. Preventative maintenance • Get a tune-up • New spark plugs, ignition points, condenser, filters, PCV valve, etc • Change oil & filter at recommended intervals • Used good quality multi-grade oil • Help reduce internal engine friction and give better gas mileage than single viscosity • Lower viscosity oil for winter weather

  19. Preventative maintenance • Tire selection & care • Check tire pressure regularly • at least once a month • Under-inflated tire waste gas • Consider buying radial tires • ½ to 1 more mpg • 5-10% fuel saving • Make sure wheels are aligned • Make sure brakes are adjusted properly • Dragging brakes rob gas, gets hot and are unpredictable • Be sure brakes are released properly

  20. Preventative maintenance • Gasoline selection • Check your gas mileage • miles driven /gallons used = gas mpg • 336/14=24 • Buy gas only when gauge is ¼ or less • Full tank • Weighs more = less mpg • Spillage = 0 gas mileage • Proper Octane • Low octane produces ping

  21. Planning a trip • Share Rides • Eliminate unnecessary trips • Use public transit • Use muscle power • Walk or ride a bike

  22. Planning a trip • Schedule & Pre-plan trips • Shorter trip = less fuel economy • Combine 3 or more errands • Make shopping trips when traffic is light • Use smaller more economical cars

  23. Planning a trip • Route planning • Map it out • Choose routes with steady speed • Expressways are better that city busy streets • Avoid stop & go traffic • Use resources (rest-stops, etc) • Avoid aimless wandering

  24. Selecting a Car • Size & Body type • Heavy cars = more gas; more to start, stop and keep moving • Longer & narrow cars = less frontal area; less wind resistance • Color- lighter color reflect best; keep the car cooler; seen better at night • Roof racks = more weight • Tinted glass = cooler

  25. Selecting a Car • Engine Size & Type • Larger the engine (cc) = more power, more fuel • 8-cylinders uses more gas than 6 or 4 • Fuel injected and electronic ignition = saves gas • Diesel engine gets better gas mileage than gas • Manual transmission better than automatic • 5 speed = same as overdrive • Automatic has 3 speed

  26. Video : • Changing a flat • Checking Air Filters • Jump starting a car
