What's new/worth astonishing?
fuel consumption has nothing to do with weight! It has to do with the engine assembly! It has to do with the torque needed to run the engine hence a car! for example; heavy trucks uses diesel intead of gasoline/petrol.A car made of gold would consume so much fuel that the price of the car would be nothing in comparison to the cost of running the car.
Try to weigh a small gold bar, find it's density or something before exposing your ignorance.

bwana wewe, weight has nothing to do with fuel consumption! we can talk about tourque. also about the green car its all about pollution 'emission', upo? kasome tena! achana na maxshimba....unamuonea tu! pumba ni zangu, we kwann unachungulia thread zangu?
Guys,
Naona Blueray na Sikonge mnaanzisha ubishi, the thing is scientifically we dont account on a so called 'weight' but 'torque', the more weight means more 'torque'.
Well, why some cars of average weight still consume lots of fuel? why dont we talk of their engine performance? as sikonge said "a car consume more fuel when going up a hill' its true', does this relate to weight or torque? Obvious is 'torque'
Other factors which contribute to high fuel consumption are "under inflated tires, dirty air filters, bad oxygen sensor, out of date tune up(fuel system tune up) and a hard driving conditions.
When I say 'torque' I mean 'msukumo', its ok that K.E = 0.5M(V square), but where is this energy comes from? During combustion process; chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy.
Pressure generated inside the cylinder pushes pistons, pistons are connected to connecting rods, connected rods are mounted on the crank shaft. On the other side the crank shaft is mounted on by a 'fly wheel' which store energy and release the same during 'idle' stroke! Finally power is transmitted to the propeller shaft and to the tyres!
The more torque needed to move a car from one point to another the more work is to be done by the engine.
Fuel is consumed in the cylinders during combustion to produce a desired torque when a piston moves from the Top Dead Centre to Bottom Dead Centre 9compression stroke), it also depends on the number of cylinders in the engine. The less the torque the less the number the cylinders and vice versa.
Engine performance (efficiency) also contributes to the high fuel consumption! Its true that automobiles engineers are trying to make lightweight cars to reduce fuel consumption because less torque will be needed to run the cars hence less fuel consumption (economic reasons) and the reduction of CO2, NOx, etc, but where to find these light weight materials? How to dispose them? eg. Nano cars.
And about the green car; I wanna ask you some simple questions!! In your opinion; are electric cars green? Why? Don't you think that the problem is being shifted from the tail pipe to the power plants?
For your information; I don't argue with you guys! Sorry if any! I wonder if your background is not HKL (no offence).
I got to sleep now, in case you need any information kindly please PM.
Alamsiki!
Anyway, thanks! I appreciate you. Kumbe wewe ni Mr. Politician. Ndio tatizo letu wabongo, siasa na maendeleo wapi na wapi? We endelea kuosha kinywa. Unabaki na 'so called basic physics' wakati watu tunapeta na 'innovation', kwa mtazamo huu hatutoendelea ng'o!Umeshindwa kuwa muungwana na kukubali kwamba umeflunk simple phisycs. Zaidi ya hapo una dig a deeper grave kwa kuja na habari ndefu bila kukubali the basics kwamba under constant conditions, energy work and mass are directly proportional.
Nishakwambia between engine efficiency and mass, which is the fundamental part of this equation, ubishi tu sasa unaanza ku shift discussion into what is a green car bila hata ya kujibu maswali fundamental uliyoulizwa hapa.
Kubali hilo kwanza kabla ya lengthy discourses on torque and all that fancy footwork with no goal.
Ningekuelewa ungesema "weight is not everything when it comes to fuel consumption, there is also engine design and efficiency" which is totally different from "weight has nothing to do with fuel consumption" inaonekana either hujui physics or hujui Kiingereza.I suspect there is a high chance pia hujui vyote viwili.
Unakimbia mawe hapa halafu unasingizia kulala?

Enjoy!
See, hujalala wala nini, unakimbia mawe tu.
Innovation, innovation utaiweza wewe? Kabla ya innovation inabidi uelewe the basics, sasa kama proportionality ya energy, work and mass inakushinda kuielewa, au huna uungwana wa kukubali kwamba ulichemsha utaweza innovation kweli wewe?
Wacha maneno hayo wewe, unataka kuleta innovation ya a fuel efficient engine kwa kusema "weight has nothing to do with fuel consumption"? Ndipo unapoanzia innovation yako hapo?
Nimekupa mpaka link yenye ma charts ya relationship ya weight na fuel consumption, ubishi tu, unaleta mambo ya torque wakati hata torque yenyewe ni function ya mass.Unajiaibisha tu, bora ukalale kweli sasa.
Unafurahisha kweli wewe.
Asante!
nimeamua kukaa kimya kwasababu hawa jamaa (Bluray na Sikonge) wenyewe bado wapo katika 'basics' hawataki kupiga stepu mbele! wanang'ang'ania hapo! na mimi naongelea 'maendeleo' kamwe hatuto elewana! najua 'basics' zipo lakini dunia ya sasa kwanini tung'ang'anie 'basics' wakati wenzetu wanasonga mbele? unajua watu wengi hasa wabongo wanapenda 'kumeza' mambo yaliyoandikwa miaka hiyo! sio vibaya ila 'twendeni' na wakati!Bora mkuu umekubali yaishe, lakn mjadala umekuwa mzuri tumepata shule nzuri ya physics
