Fuel Efficient Vehicles Make the trick
What are affecting the efficient level of a car and how to make cars to be frugal? Here we present.
President Director of Indonesia Defensive Driving Center (IDDC) Bintarto Court explained that at least, there are some things that lead to wasteful use of gasoline into the vehicle's engine performance, fuel quality, infrastructure and driving behavior of each rider.
For vehicles, in the event Bintarto Shell Driver Education Programme explained that vehicle owners should take care of their cars and motorcycles are well and regularly.
"Use quality fuel as well. Because when looking at the specifications, vehicles over the year 2000 must use 91-95 octane gasoline. Use of gasoline octane numbers at the bottom was going to make the life of the engine is reduced and inefficient combustion. If under a so-so in 2000 using 88 octane , "he said at the Mal Taman Anggrek, Jakarta, Friday (04/13/2012).
"In addition, the use of quality fuel will create a crust on the engine is reduced. If the crust is reduced, the combustion could be more perfect. If complete combustion, can be longer engine life and fuel efficiency can be achieved," he said.
While factors of road infrastructure where many roads are jammed next thing that will affect the level of fuel efficiency.
"Therefore, we must be smart to choose the path and time of driving," he added.
And finally, is the correct driving behavior. "It's one of the key factors. There are many things to consider when driving," he said.
Here are some tips for fuel efficiency can be achieved:
Driving behaviors:
Do the vehicles driving behavior to be 'careful'. As is generally known, the correct driving behavior is an important factor in achieving efficient fuel consumption: Anticipation. "Do not be provoked when on the road. If someone invites speeding, ignore it," he said.
Keep pace with the anticipated movement of the middle of another vehicle that does not need to accelerate and brake suddenly.
Use a high gear
Optimize the engine speed at 2000 RPM and raise the position of the highest gear as needed.
Turn off the AC
Reduce the engine by turning off the AC when not needed.
Reduce weight. Many load means more workload to drain engine oil. Reduce excess weight. "Remove the unnecessary attribute in the car. When bike racks are not used, off course. Diminishing weights will reduce fuel consumption," he said.
Plan a trip. Choose the best route, look for an alternative path, and multiply the information. Plan your trip.
Slow the vehicle. 10% faster than 80 miles per hour, meaning that 10% -20% more fuel is used. Slow your vehicle.
Close the window. Be aerodynamics by reducing the air resistance which adds to the engine load.
Caring for Sale
Regular servicing of vehicles. Regular servicing of your vehicle at a distance of time to guarantee your car will always run with best performance.
Note the condition of the spark plug. Perform routine replacement every year or every 20,000 km for optimal combustion and ignition process is easy.
Periodic vehicle servicing. Keep the condition of the engine and the smoothness of all the parts in it to keep doing an optimal job.
Brakes oil change periodically. Replace the brake oil every 2 years. This treatment can keep the quality of an efficient braking.
Keep your tire pressure. Tire pressure of approximately 20% means that the vehicle will be 10% more extravagant. Keep your vehicle's tire pressure.
Fuel usage:
Proper use of fuel
Use the right fuel for your needs to optimize combustion.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Convertible, an Autoweek Drivers Log Car Review
I found the chassis to be sporty and stiff but not abusive. Overall, I grade this Camaro a touch ahead of the Ford Mustang GT convertible that we had in the fleet recently. It's purely my opinion, but the Chevy has more gravitas and is a touch more refined. The Mustang is buffer and even more athletic in corners, but in a purely subjective matter, the bow-tie muscle car was the most fun for me.
I was impressed with the details of the SS stitching and light pipes on the door panels, but as for the ragtop--not so much. It rattled and blew on the expressway and seemed to take a while to open and close. Still, it's a convertible, so that's a fair tradeoff. The Camaro SS is a blast. It has some faults, but they don't outweigh the fun factor.
ASSOCAITE EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN:
Greg, I completely disagree. The faults of the Camaro SS convertible far outweigh the fun factor.
First, look at the curb weight of this hippo--more than 4,100 pounds! Those 426 horses feel more like 326. A sports car should shoot for about 3,000 pounds, and then hit a little higher because of safety concerns. The regular SS Camaro weighs about 3,900, which is still heavy, but it makes up a little in stiffness. This thing wobbles all over the broken pavement. For comparison, the Ford Mustang GT coupe weighs 3,600 and the drop-top comes in at just more than 3,700 with a manual transmission.
It's also too expensive. More than 40 grand seems crazy for this kind of performance. As Greg said, a few (seven) grand more and you can be in a Vette, where 426 hp feels like 500 hp. Or you can grab a Mustang for less.
All that being said, the drop-top Camaro is a sharp-looking ride. The seats feel good and the SS stitching in the headrests is pretty cool.
The body looks good, too, as long as the top is down. Almost all convertibles seem (to me) like they were designed without a top in mind. Once one is put on, the lines are all thrown off.
I feel as I could find a better way to spend $40,000, even if it has to be a convertible.
ROAD TEST EDITOR JONATHAN WONG:
I guess I get to be the tiebreaker on this 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS convertible. Before I do that, I want to point out the subtle differences on this 2012 version of the Camaro convertible, which just came out for 2011.
For starters, the soft insert on the dash is new. On base models, it's cloth and for uplevel models like the 2LT and this 2SS, it's vinyl. Now instead of the Camaro's dashboard looking like a giant plastic log, it's appears a touch more upscale and not so inexpensive. In addition, the instrument panel was reworked with easier-to-read graphics. Also gone is the oddly shaped and deeply dished steering wheel, replaced with a wheel that feels much more comfortable in your hands. I'm pretty sure it's the same steering wheel found in the Chevrolet Equinox, but that's fine with me. Heck, the Corvette still has the steering wheel from the Cobalt, right? OK, that's not cool, but moving on.
Jake pointed out exactly what I was thinking after driving the 2011 version of this convertible: It's substantially heavier than the Ford Mustang convertible. Part of that is because the Camaro is just heavy to begin with, but then Chevy had to beef up the chassis in key areas to make up for the missing fixed roof. For starters, there is a shock-tower brace under the hood, the transmission support was made stronger, the driveshaft tunnel was stiffened and rear underbody braces were added.
However, I think this Camaro convertible handles itself real well around town. In fact, it's better than the Mustang drop-top, in my opinion. The suspension is unchanged from the coupe, so it's soft and rolls around corners, which isn't great if you intend to do some corner carving, but it's good if you just want to roll around town and enjoy a nice summer or fall night. The latter is what most convertible shoppers are looking for. With the SS you have 6.2-liter V8 with 426 hp on tap to slingshot you away from a stoplight, and that's most likely what a typical Camaro convertible owner's performance driving will be.
Here are some other driving observations: Steering feel and response is numb, the six-speed manual's shifter isn't as precise as I would like it, the brake pedal is squishy but there is confident stopping power and the engine packs plenty of power for this car's purposes. If you want more power, then the ZL1 convertible is on its way.
If you're looking for a convertible cruiser and want to get noticed, this Camaro fits the bill perfectly. If you want your drop-top to have a more inspiring drive quality, then I would tell you to go with the Ford.
So is this Chevy convertible worth it? I'm going to say yes for the vast majority of open-top shoppers.

Batmobile gets a Very Un-Hollywood Makeover from the World’s Aspiring Car Designers
So ask yourself: where would the dark knight be without his car? Unlike Superman (who can fly) or Spiderman (who can shoot webs from his wrists), Batman relies on a good ol’ fashioned automobile to get him from A to B. From the Barris-ified Ford Futura of the ‘60s (read about our drive here) to the nigh-indestructible Tumbler of the Chris Nolan Batman films, the Batmobile is as much a part of the series as the hood and the cape.

2011 NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CL-CLASS REVIEW 01

More significant than the styling tweaks, however, are the changes underneath the hood, with the arrival of a new twin-turbocharged 4.6-liter V8 direct-injection gasoline engine--the first of Mercedes-Benz's advanced MoVe powerplants that aim to bring efficiency gains to its lineup.
With 429 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the new engine delivers 47 hp and 125 lb-ft more than the naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 it replaces in the four-year-old CL500--enough to lower the luxury coupe's 0-to-62-mph time by 0.5 second to 4.9 seconds. Top speed remains limited to 155 mph.

In combination with a revised version of Mercedes-Benz's seven-speed automatic gearbox with an integrated stop/start function and brake-energy recuperation, the new CL500's engine is also claimed to provide fuel savings of up to 5.6 mpg, with an official 24.8 mpg on the combined European consumption cycle.

2010 Ferrari Enzo MIG-U1 by Gemballa
Here's some more pics of the 2010 Ferrari Enzo MIG-U1 by Gemballa:
2011 Subaru WRX and WRX STI Photos
For 2011, the WRX has ditched the black robe for a string bikini, flaunting some serious haunches in the process. Meanwhile, the car's big brother – the WRX STI – has been fitted with a completely reworked suspension and an all-new four-door body style.-PopularMechanics
2011 Subaru WRX and WRX STI Specs:
As anyone who managed to survive the rash of Pontiac "wider is better" ads of the mid ‘90s can tell you, throwing more than an inch into a car's girth can have a big impact on how the vehicle performs. "We managed to increase the track of the WRX by nearly 1.5 inches," says Martyn Harding, Impreza car line manager for Subaru North America. "That's huge." In reality, Subaru has spread the WRX by 1.3 inches compared to the 2010 model—a big number by anyone's count—thanks solely to the car's wild new bodywork. While the hatchback now wears the same cladding as last year's WRX STI, the look is most noticeable in four door trim, where the body is dominated by front fenders that are flared to body builder proportions and rear quarter panels that are built to match. There's even more than a hint of BMW M3 in the rear diffuser. Throw in a set of wheels that are wider by a full inch and suddenly the car is capable of laying down grip well past the engine's capability.
Like last year, the WRX gets its power from a turbocharged 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with 265 horsepower and 244 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an all-wheel drive system, the combination returns 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Likewise, the WRX STI retains its old engine, though it produces a more muscular 305 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque. The engine is bolted to a six-speed manual gearbox and an adjustable all-wheel drive system, all of which is good for 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway.
But the big news on the WRX STI front is what's under the car. Subaru has built in sway bars that are about 30 percent more rigid, stiffer springs (16 percent in the front and 55 percent in the rear), stiffer bushings and a lower ride height for 2011. The company has even moved to steel-ball type bushings where the front control arm meets the body for added rigidity, though it's surrounded by a rubber bushing to keep noise and vibration down.
Price of the WRX will cost you at around $25,495 for the four-door and five-door trims. While the WRX STI sedan is priced at $33,995 and the five-door will cost at $35,995.

Consequently reduced car weight 50kg and the drastically improved performance. This car is capable of accelerating from 0-100km/jam in six seconds and has a maximum speed 225km/jam. Honda claims, to make one of this car will cost EUR 150 thousand (2 billion). But this car will never be marketed.
