New Honda Civic protecting the environment
The all-new Honda Civic has now got a new diesel engine, ensuring that the car is more powerful and cleaner than ever before. The new Honda Civic 2012 has undergone serious improvements.
To ensure emissions were reduced, Honda adapted the engine via the oil flow, which has proven to decrease circulation loss. A great improvement on Honda’s behalf, is installing start/stop technology to the Honda Civic 2012. On top of all the aforementioned additions, different materials were used to design the engine to create less friction.
An alternative fuel to the new Civic 2012 is Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The new CNG Honda Civic is extremely environmentally friendly, putting a happy face on the environmentalists who rave about the eco-friendly hybrid car. The CNG Honda Civic has proved itself to be more environmentally friendly than the original eco-friendly hybrid cars.
The reason the CNG Honda Civic is more economical than the hybrid car, is because hybrid cars must burn oil, coal, or use a nuclear reaction to provide the electricity. On the other hand, because the drilling for CNG is so much easier than drilling for oil, the impact on the earth during extraction is much less severe for CNG. The Environmental Protection Agency has certified the new Natural Gas Honda Civic vehicle as the cleanest-running internal combustion engine ever.
Whilst the fuel efficiency of the 2012 Honda Civic is phenomenal, if you still wish to enhance your Honda Civic further there are a few small adjustments that can be made to improve your MPG:
- Tyre gauge – This particular item is the most inexpensive you could buy to improve your mpg. Over inflated tyres or under inflated tyres can take away as much as 15% of your vehicles fuel efficiency. In a Honda Civic, purchasing a tyre gauge can result in approximately five fewer miles per gallon, so this one-off small expense can save you hundreds of pounds per year. A tyre gauge should really not cost more than five pounds, so is definitely worth investing in.
- Air filter – An air filter allows increased airflow to go to the combustion chambers. An increase in oxygen availability, the Civic will use less fuel – it can add an extra 5-10% fuel efficiency and the cylinders will fire more efficiently. To purchase an air filter should cost you no more than ten pounds each, but if you would like to be even more cost effective then research companies which clean and reuse air filters, as you can then invest in cheaper filters.
- Voltage system – Fuel efficiency can be improved by stabilising your Honda Civic’s voltage system. By investing in a voltage tuning system, there are numerous benefits available that include: low, mid, and high rev performance, more torque, and increased horsepower and throttle response. All of these benefits will most definitely lead to a better fuel economy due to the efficiency of the throttle position sensing.
By adding those extras, at not a particularly high cost, you could witness your Honda Civic jumping to around 45mpg or even higher. These savings can be spread out over the lifetime of your car, and those parts are guaranteed to pay for themselves as time progresses.
