• Air filter,petrol engine,normally aspirated 17 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  Am I right in thinking that because lambda probes ( indirectly) control petrol/air mixtures, that changing an air filter won't affect fuel consumption, and the state of the air filter only effects the maximum power/torque available? I'm asking as I'm considering changing one before its service interval as the car in question is using a bit more fuel than normal.

• Any - Less cars 3 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  Is it my imagination or are there really less cars on the road now. I think my area has less traffic due to people cutting back mileage due to fuel prices...diesel past £1.50 a litre here and I guess most other places too. My MP has has replied that the Government is doing a good job on keeping prices down....... Aviation fuel is now taxed adding considerable cost to flights, rail fares are high too.

• Old cars, modern fluids. 1 Dec 2009 (Forum)
  To sort out a debate we had in the office today. Are modern fuels and oils beneficial for old cars? If a common pushrod engine from the mid 60?s (Ford Zephyr for example) were to be completely rebuilt as original and then run using synthetic oil and modern fuel (with lead replacement additives if required), would it fare much better now, mile for mile than it would have when it was new?
