• Improved fuel
economy at all engine speeds resulting in projected 19 mpg city / 30 highway with six - speed automatic transmission; 18 mpg city / 29 highway with six - speed manual transmission.
Not exact matches
Toyota's new hybrid system for rear - wheel - drive vehicles promises improved fuel
economy at high
speeds, allowing for intermittent use of the
engine at such
speeds.
Variable Cylinder Management, now standard across the board, is capable of turning the six - cylinder into either a four - or three - cylinder
engine during low - load cruising, and with the Touring models» six -
speed automatic (a five -
speed is standard on other trim levels), the Odyssey returns the best EPA fuel
economy at 19/28 mpg city / highway.
The automatic transmission in modern automobiles is optimized to keep the
engine running
at speeds that balance fuel
economy with
engine output.
Problems such as too - hot operating temperatures, slow throttle response, and poor fuel
economy at low
speeds prevented turbine
engines from powering mainstream, high - volume vehicles.
The gearing feels well - matched to both
engines though; second is a good B - road gear in the 1 - litre, second and third for the 1.5, while tall upper ratios benefit refinement and
economy at higher
speeds.
It also scores well on the EPA's fuel
economy tests: the eight -
speed automatic - transmission version comes in
at 24/36 mpg city / highway, beating out last year's most frugal 3 - series, the diesel -
engine 335d, by a hair.
These tall ratios help keep
engine speed lower
at highway
speeds, another dynamic contribution to fuel
economy.

at times slow to downshift when pressing on the gas, helps the Titan achieve a 28 per cent better fuel
economy rating, although standard, active grille shutters also play a role by helping cut drag by some 10 per cent.

The larger
engine displacement allows for increased torque, reducing
engine speeds (RPM), which improves fuel
economy at highway
speeds.
Depending on the application, fuel
economy is improved by as much as 6 % and torque is increased by nearly 15 %
at engine speeds below 3,000 RPM.

Under the hood, the SpecV has what Nissan calls a «High Gear Boost Control Device,» which momentarily increases turbo boost for «greater torque in the intermediate - to - high
speed range to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while allowing the
engine to operate
at a lower
speed for improved fuel
economy.»
