Izinganekwane mayelana nokonga kwamafutha

Uyakhumbula useyingane futhi abazali bakho babevame ukukuthatha uyothenga izingubo zesikole? Cishe kwakunepheya elisha lamateku ohlwini. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuthola ukuthi izicathulo zilungile yini ukugijima uzungeze isitolo futhi ubone ukuthi zikwenza uhambe ngokushesha yini.

Yebo, izicathulo ezenze wagijima kakhulu yizona obuzifuna. Kodwa-ke, kuyinganekwane ukuthi ezinye izicathulo zokugijima zizokwenza usheshe kunezinye.

Kunjalo nangezimoto. Sakhuliswa ngezinganekwane ezingasile. Eziningi zalezi zidluliselwe ezizukulwaneni ezedlule futhi zinokunemba okungabazisayo. Ezinye zisakazwa engxoxweni evamile, kodwa zamukelwa njengamaqiniso.

Ngezansi ezinye izinganekwane mayelana nokonga kukaphethiloli ezingase ziqhumise ibhamuza lakho:

Ukuhlobisa imoto yakho

Ngesinye isikhathi, sonke sike sama egalaji likaphethiloli lapho i-injector ivaliwe. Uthatha ipeni ukuze uzame ukukhama yonke iconsi yokugcina ethangini lakho. Ukugcwalisa ithangi kumthamo omkhulu kuhle, akunjalo? Cha.

Umbhobho wepompo likaphethiloli uklanyelwe ukuma lapho ithangi seligcwele. Ngokuzama ukumpompa igesi eningi emotweni yakho ngemva kokuba isigcwele, empeleni ubuyisela igesi ohlelweni lokuhwamuka - ngokuyisisekelo i-canister ehwamukayo - engayibhubhisa kanye nesistimu yokuhwamuka. Ukufaka uphethiloli kuyimbangela eyinhloko yokuhluleka kwamathini futhi kungabiza ukuyilungisa.

Izihlungi zomoya ezihlanzekile

Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi isihlungi somoya esingcolile sinciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli. Nokho, iqiniso liwukuthi lokhu akulona iqiniso. Ngokusho kwe-FuelEconomy.gov, isihlungi somoya esingcolile sinomthelela omncane kumayela wegesi ezimotweni zemodeli esekupheleni kwesikhathi. Injini efakwe uphethiloli egcinwe kahle isazoletha ukonga kukaphethiloli okulindelekile kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isihlungi somoya singcole kangakanani.

Izimoto eziyimodeli yakamuva ezinezinjini ezijovwe uphethiloli zinamakhompuyutha asebhodini abala inani lomoya ongena enjinini futhi alungise ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli ngokufanele. Ukuhlanzeka kwesihlungi somoya akuyona ingxenye yezibalo. Lokhu akusho ukuthi akufanele umiselele isihlungi sakho esingcolile ufake esisha. Kungumkhuba omuhle ukushintsha isihlungi somoya njengoba singcola.

Okuhlukile kulo mthetho izimoto ezindala ezakhiqizwa ngaphambi kuka-1980. Kulezi zimoto, isihlungi somoya esingcolile sithinte kabi ukusebenza nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli.

I-Cruisin '

Kunengqondo ukucabanga ukuthi ukugcina isivinini esingaguquki kuzowonga uphethiloli, futhi ayikho indlela engcono yokugcina ijubane elingashintshi kune-cruise control. Uma ushayela endaweni eyisicaba yomgwaqo onguthelawayeka, lokho kuyiqiniso, kodwa imigwaqo emikhulu ayivamile ukuba flat. Uma i-cruise control yakho ithola ukuhlehla, iyashesha ukugcina isivinini oyifunayo. Izinga lokusheshisa lingase lisheshe kunezinga obungasheshisa ngalo uwedwa.

Ukusheshisa ngokushesha kubulala amakhilomitha, ngakho lawula imoto yakho uma ubona amabhampa emgwaqeni, shesha kancane kancane, bese uvula i-cruise control lapho umgwaqo ushibilika.

Izinzwa zikutshela ukuthi kufanele uhlole nini amathayi akho.

Ugcine nini ukuhlola umfutho wesondo lakho? Mhlawumbe isikhathi sokugcina inzwa yokucindezela okuphansi isebenza? Mhlawumbe awusakhumbuli. Ngokusho kweNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration, ingxenye yesithathu yawo wonke amathayi ezimoto ayifunyelwe. Uma umfutho wesondo uphansi kakhulu, amathayi angashisa ngokweqile, abangele ukungqubuzana ngokweqile emgwaqeni, aguge ngaphambi kwesikhathi, futhi okubi nakakhulu, aqhume. Hlola umfutho wesondo kanye ngenyanga. Umfutho wesondo onconywayo ungaphakathi kwe-flap yokugcwalisa uphethiloli noma endaweni yamagilavu. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi udinga ukuhlola ingcindezi ngamathayi amahlanu, hhayi amane: ungakhohlwa isondo eliyisipele.

Ungadonseli ngemuva

Noma ubani oke wabuka i-Tour de France uyazi ukuthi ukunyathela ngemuva komunye umgibeli kunciphisa ukumelana nomoya. Akusho ukuthi uma ungemuva kweloli (noma imoto enkulu kuneyakho), izokuvikela emoyeni, ngaleyo ndlela inciphise ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli. Ngokusekelwe ku- pure physics, lo mbono ulungile. Nokho, ukulandela iloli ukukhulisa igesi mileage kuwumbono omubi ngempela. Ukusebenza kahle okwengeziwe ongakuthola akubufanele ubungozi bengozi.

Uphethiloli we-Premium uzosiza ukukhulisa amakhilomitha

Imoto yakho ilungiselelwe ukuthi isebenze kuphethiloli ngesilinganiso esithile se-octane. Uma usebenzisa i-premium enjinini eklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa okuvamile, kungenzeka ukuthi ulahla imali. Uma ungaqiniseki, u-Edmunds uphakamisa ukuthi uzenzele owakho ukuhlola. Gcwalisa ithangi kabili ngophethiloli ojwayelekile. Bese ugcwalisa ngokuphindwe kabili imoto yakho nge-premium. Rekhoda imayela lakho namagalani asetshenzisiwe. Naka ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli nokusebenza. Uma uphethiloli ojwayelekile utuswa emotweni yakho futhi uyigcwalise ngophethiloli we-premium, maningi amathuba okuba ungaboni ukuthuthuka okukhulu.

Kodwa-ke, uma imoto yakho ikalwe njengeprimiyamu futhi uyigcwalisa ngejwayelekile, ungase ubone ukwehla kokusebenza ngamaphesenti ayisi-6 kuye kwayi-10 ngokokuhlolwa kwemoto nomshayeli.

Thola okuncane noma uhlale ekhaya

Umqondo ophusile uthi izimoto ezincane njengeMini Cooper zizozamazama umhlaba uma kukhulunywa nge-mpg. U-Edmunds uvivinye imoto kuzo zombili izimo zedolobha nezasemgwaqweni, kanti iMini enezihlalo ezinhlanu (ubani owayazi ukuthi ingahlala abantu abayisihlanu?) ithole u-29 mpg edolobheni kanye no-40 mpg emgwaqeni ovulekile. Izinombolo ezihloniphekile, ukuze uqiniseke.

Kodwa akuzona zonke izimoto ezongayo okufanele zibe ezincane. I-Toyota Prius V, inqola enkulu eyi-hybrid wagon enezihlalo ezi-5, iba ngcono nakakhulu ku-44 mpg wedolobha kanye no-40 mpg onguthelawayeka.

Njengoba iMini nePrius V zikhombisa, akubona ubukhulu bemoto okubalulekile, kodwa ukuthi yini engaphansi kwehod. Ngaphambilini, izimoto ezincane kuphela ezinikezwa izinjini ezihlanganisiwe zezomnotho. Ziya ngokwanda izimoto ezinosayizi ojwayelekile, amaSUV kanye nezimoto zemidlalo esezingeni eliphezulu zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obunama-hybrid powertrains, izinjini zikadizili, ama-turbocharger namathayi aginqika aphansi. Le ntuthuko ivumela izimoto eziningi ezintsha ezimaphakathi nezinkulu ukuthi zonge uphethiloli kangcono kunangaphambili.

Ukuhanjiswa okwenziwa ngesandla kukhuphula imayela

Umbiko ka-Edmunds ka-2013 wachitha enye inganekwane yemayela. Iminyaka eminingi, izimoto ezithunyelwa ngesandla zazicatshangwa ukuthi zinamakhilomitha amaningi kunezakwabo ezizenzakalelayo. “Akulona iqiniso,” kusho u-Edmunds.

Isibalo sezimoto ezishintshwayo ezithengiswa minyaka yonke sisuka ku-3.9% (Edmunds) siye ku-10% (Fox News). Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi iyiphi i-automatic transmission oyikhethayo yokuhlola okuqondile, izimoto ezishintshwayo nezizishintshayo zizokwenza okufanayo.

U-Edmunds uqhathanise izinhlobo ze-Chevy Cruze Eco ne-Ford Focus nama-automatic transmissions. Ukudluliswa kwesandla kweChevy kulinganiselwa ku-33 mpg kuhlangene (isilinganiso somgwaqo omkhulu wedolobha) kanye no-31 kweyezishintshayo. I-Focus enamagiya ayisithupha ithola u-30 mpg uma iqhathaniswa nenguqulo ezenzakalelayo ku-31 mpg.

Ukuthuthukiswa kwebanga legesi ezimotweni ezishintshayo kungenxa yentuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nokwenyuka kwenani lamagiya kagesi engeziwe - amanye amagiya amasha azishintshayo anamagiya afinyelela kwangu-10!

Igebe elisebenza kahle kuphethiloli phakathi kwezimoto ezizishintshayo nezihamba ngesandla manje alikho nhlobo.

Ukusebenza okuphezulu kusho imayela eliphansi

Ama-baby boomers akhuliswe ukuze akholelwe ukuthi uma ufuna ukushayela imoto yezemidlalo esebenza kahle, kufanele uphile ne-lousy gas mileage. Kokuhlangenwe nakho kwabo, lokhu kwakuyiqiniso. IFord Mustang Fastback yango-1965 yakudala, ngokwesibonelo, ithole cishe u-14 mpg.

Khumbula i-Firebird kusuka kumafayela e-Rockford? Ithole i-10 kuya ku-14 mpg. Yomibili le mishini ibisebenza kodwa ngentengo.

UTesla uyichithile inganekwane yokuthi izimoto ezinamandla kakhulu zingonga. Le nkampani yakha imoto esebenza ngogesi wonke ekwazi ukugijima ifinyelele ku-60 km/h ngaphansi kwemizuzwana emine futhi ihambe u-265 km ngeshaji eyodwa. Okubi kukaTesla yintengo yayo.

Ngenhlanhla kubathengi, manje sekunendawo emnandi. Iningi labakhiqizi bezimoto abakhulu bahlinzeka ngezimoto ezibukeka njengezemidlalo, ezinikeza ukusebenza okuphezulu, ezinendawo eningi yemithwalo, futhi ezifika eduze kwamamayela angu-30 ilitha ngalinye likaphethiloli ohlanganisiwe, konke ngamanani aphansi.

Izimoto zihlale ziyonga

Injini yemoto isebenza kahle kakhulu ngemva kwezinkulungwane ezimbalwa zamamayela. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukusebenza kahle kwemoto ngenxa yokwenyuka kokungqubuzana, ukuguga kwenjini yangaphakathi, izigxivizo, ukuguga kwezingxenye, ukuguga kwezimpahla, njll. kuba nemiphumela emibi futhi injini nayo iyeka ukusebenza. Ungenza konke okusemandleni akho ukugcina imoto yakho isesimweni esihle ngokuyishuna njalo, kodwa ngeke iphinde ibe yinhle njengentsha futhi. Njengomthetho ojwayelekile, uma uthenga imoto entsha, amamayela ngegaloni azohlala angashintshi isikhashana bese eqala ukwehla kancane. Lokhu kuvamile futhi kulindelekile.

Yini esikhathini esizayo?

Ngo-2012, abaphathi baka-Obama bamemezele amazinga amasha okusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli. Abaphathi bacele izimoto namaloli amancane ukuthi afinyelele okulingana no-54.5 mpg ngo-2025. Ukusebenza kahle kwegesi kulindeleke ukuthi konge abashayeli amanani entengo kaphethiloli angaphezu kwezigidigidi eziyi-1.7, kanti ukusetshenziswa kukawoyela kuzokwehliswa ngemiphongolo eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-12 ngonyaka.

Abakhiqizi bezimoto abakhulu abangu-XNUMX kanye ne-Amalgamated Auto Workers bazibophezele ukusebenzisana ukuze bakhe izimoto ezisebenza kahle ezinciphisa ukukhishwa kwesisi esingcolisa umoya.

Phakathi neminyaka eyishumi ezayo, izimoto zikagesi, izinhlobo ezixubile nezimoto ezihlanzekile zizoba yinjwayelo, futhi sonke singashayela izimoto ezihamba 50 mpg (noma amakhulu amamayela ngenkokhiso eyodwa). Ubani ongeke athande ukusebenzisa uphethiloli omncane?
