I drive a 2000 model Maruti ZEN LX ( 2nd hand, bought in June 2005 ). I have been giving it for a regular 5000 kms service since then. I always drive the car with A/c ON as I drive in Chennai, India ( around 36-40 degree temp ). Of late, I get only 8-9 kms / Ltr against the claim of 13-14 kms per litre with AC on or 16 kms-18kms w/o AC. On checking with the mechanics they have tried a dry run by re-routing the petrol line and checking with about 0.5 ltrs and it gave about 8.1 kms (1.e approx. 16.2 kms w/o AC per ltr ) and he says it is okay. When I tried with full tank, ( 34 Ltrs were filled, I got only 273 kms ). Why is this so?

Imagine a plane is sat on the beginning of a massive conveyor belt/travelator type arrangement, as wide and as long as a runway, and intends to take off. The conveyer belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels at any given time, moving in the opposite direction of rotation.
There is no wind.
Can the plane take off?

I'm driving a second-hand (not sure how old - pretty beat-up though!), 4-speed VW Golf, 1.4 l (I guess) engine, and commuting 25km each way to work every day, with the occasional longer journey (100 km or so).

I've been trying to use the highest gear possible that keeps the car moving without stalling (i.e. lowest possible r.p.m.), and am using about 8.4 l (unleaded) fuel per 100 km (about 33.6 m.p.g., if I've done the conversion right).

I would like to know if there is an optimal r.p.m. value where the fuel burns most efficiently (i.e. minimising unburnt fuel emissions) while still maximising fuel efficiency (minimum fuel used against maximum distance travelled)?

If so, is there an easy way to find it, or should I just carry on doing what I've been doing?

I have a 94 sear ray bowrider and I was cruising along on the lake and my boat just stopped. It made a couple of noises like the engine was about to fall apart and then I couldn't start it again. All the fluids are filled and the oil has been replaced. It was the first time I have used the boat in about 1 year. The engine will turn over but it just won't start. I have been told it might be the kill switch coming undone, has anyone ever had a problem like this????

Thanks

Approximately 3 weeks ago.. I bought a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.. I drove it to town one time and it started storming so I drove it directly home and parked it.. The next day I got up to take it back into town, it wouldn't start. OK, I had it put on a computer it showed a CODE 11 so the people at the local parts department determined that it must be a Crank Sensor. That was correct. We finally got that part eliminated. We have changed all sensors and that O2 sensor. We changed the fuel pump.. Now this is what it's doing.. First thing in the morning you can start it up and it will run perfect for about 15 to 20 minutes until I assume it gets hot.Then it starts missing backfiring and black smoke comes out the tailpipe and eventually it dies. All the plugs are black out also. What am I overlooking?

I saw one once that had a Chevrolet V-8 for a powerplant. It was quite authentic looking except that it was small. Where do you find such kits?
