I was hoping to buy a land rover lr4 or lr2, but with the lr4 having gas mileage in the mid teens, i wanted to know if there is a way to improve it. I dont drive on the highway too much. I'd like to know if there is anything else to improve mileage too. I drive a lot of people around for functions, family, and others and I looked at other suvs but those two looked the best.
A okorder /... Real world test is the sure proof.
Fuel catalyst is another name for fuel additive, the companies that make these additives make all kinds of claims how it increases power and reduces emiissions.. blah blah blah. Fuel catalyst is nothing more then a octane booster (gas engines) or cetane booster (diesel engines), it like all the other bogus products are worthless, octane booster will only show an improvement in performance IF the octane level in your current fuel supply is too low, higher octane fuel burns slower then lower octane fuel, that's how it quenches pinging and preignition both of which are caused by incorrect engine design and/or settings. Always use the lowest octane fuel that the engine will tolerate, if you have to pull advance out of the total timing then it needs more octane to run full timing and make max power, the only thing you can do to improve the quality of fuel in your tank is add a stabililizing additive such as (Stabil), it treats the fuel and prevents it from going stale or turning to varnish, it's especially useful when the vehicle is parked for long periods with fuel in the tank and carburetor, normally after a month or two of being parked the fuel in the carb turns to varnish and clogs the jets, with Stabil the fuel doesn't change composition.
