Think about like the engine of a car that in a safe haven would be in a nice, slow, idle, not stressed at all versus in your garage a car where there's somebody who has their foot all the way down on the gas pedal and so that engine is just accelerated at much higher speed than it ought to be for a car that's parked in a garage.

High compression engines (performance cars) would cause low octane gas to combust under the pressure alone rather than from the spark plug firing, resulting in knocking, which is very bad for the engine.

Next in line to further decrease CO2 form cars come downsized turbo GDI (gas direct injection) engines and they emit much more ultrafine particles and NOX than regular natural aspirated engines with PFI (port fuel injection) and even more than some Euro6 diesels with particle filter.

Larger vehicles typically consume more fuel than compact cars and larger engines usually burn more gas than smaller ones.

Alright, let me be honest and tell you a few things that I dislike about this car: - Gas Mileage (Hyundai claims it gives you 25 mpg in the city, which is not true, I get not more than 23 mpg in the city for sure)- Traction Control (The traction can not handle the acceleration and the wheels would start spinning, even on the dry roads, not sure what to blame)- USB port - The built in USB port does not support android, at least not in my case, therefore I have to rely on Bluetooth or AUX)- Dull Alloy Wheels - The dullness of alloy wheels for the SE trim does not compliment the car over all, but eh, I can't complain much as it is a BASE model Now, the things I absolutely love about this car: - Great Turn Radius - Beautiful LED lights (even with base model)- Highway mileage (35 mpg even driving at 75 miles an hour, you might get better than 37 mpg if you drive at 55 miles an hour)- Spacious trunk - Great leg room for rear seats - Just enough power to accelerate quickly and merge on to the highways / freeways - Amazing Brakes - Sports, ECO and Normal Mode (For those who do not know, once switched to SPORTS mode, the car's steering becomes stiff as well as the engine along with the help of transmission helps you accelerate the car faster, you actually feel like driving a sports car.

This higher factor under overrun was chosen, first, because the engine's drag force is lower than its maximum torque and, second, because this configuration serves to stabilise the car, preventing it from swerving or turning under load change in bends, as now brake force is applied more evenly on both wheels when the driver suddenly takes back the gas pedal.

Across all of these models, the Z4's engines have direct injection, which help them achieve strong output figures while returning better gas mileage than most other sports cars; the base sDrive28i has EPA ratings of up to 22 mpg city, 34 highway.

I thought it was more than enough engine for that car, decent gas milage, but this is better.

With a gas engine, one could argue that the increased practicality of greater traveling distances from a gas - powered car better justifies spending more than $ 20,000 on a convertible.

The Civic is also somewhat simpler than the Toyota Prius, in that the Civic Hybrid can't move on electrical power alone, and the Prius can — with the Civic, the electric motor is there to help out the 1.3 - liter four - cylinder gas engine, but the gas engine is running if the car is moving, though the gasoline supply can be cut off in certain «steady - state cruising» situations.

The result is 149 horsepower from a pair of electric motors that propel the car as far as 53 miles before the 1.5 - liter, four - cylinder internal combustion engine kicks in to add more than 350 additional miles of cruising on a single tank of gas.

The first indication of the car's hybrid system comes when we turn the key, getting the characteristic boot - up typical of these types of cars rather than the roar of a gas engine.

Expect to pay $ 2,000 more than a gas - engine car.

If the battery fills up due to regenerative braking in B the car will dissipate the energy by using the generator to spin the gas engine (known as «engine braking») rather than using the friction brakes on the wheels.

Even with today's power plants emitting greenhouse gases, the overall levels would be reduced because the entire process of moving a car one mile is more efficient using electricity than producing gasoline and burning it in a car's engine.

While it is entirely possible that a consumer able to use the Volt in pure EV mode most of the time could use no more than a tank of gas - 9.3 gallons - a year (because as noted earlier the car will automatically start the internal - combustion engine at regular intervals to keep the fuel system functional and the gas fresh), it is not a perpetual - motion machine.

Also the cars get poor mileage and anyone driving more than 100 miles a week or even a month is cut out (unless you say «oh keep the gas guzzler for the LONG trips» Heres an idea don not bother SWITCHING the place where the fuel is burnt, keep it in your internal combustion engine and not let someone com - bust it FOR you at a higher price for less mileage (all so the owners get rich!

The eco-friendly car is still in prototype stage but will cut down carbon dioxide emissions to less than 60 g / kg by operating with a compressed natural gas engine.

That's certainly better than what most gas engine high - performance sports cars are getting now, but it's a far cry from «environmentally sound.»

Result: a car that can go forty miles on electricity only (farther than the great majority of trips Americans take in a day) before the gas engine kicks in.
