| Warm Up Pulse and Glide |
| (see also Pulse & Glide) During warm up, your automobiles FE is at its absolute worst (open loop ops, high RR (rolling mechanical resistances) in colder temps). To attempt to alleviate some of the FE hit, you begin P&Ging almost immediately but at lower and increasing speed ranges. P&G speed ranges are significantly reduced and stepped up as you arrive to higher speed arterials, state routes, and then Interstates and highways. Here is just one example as you are leaving your home via the subdivision or local street when conditions allow
A range example could include 0 15 mph, FAS to 10, 10 20 mph, FAS to 15, 15 30 mph, FAS to 20, 20 40 mph, FAS to 30, 30 50 mph, FAS to 40
Again, this was just 1 example of what may be performed under a specialized local driving condition and temps until the automobiles in question is up to full temperature. Pros include alleviating the warm up FE hit to far above what would normally be possible and help to maintain your overall FE even though you are in effect warming up the car. Cons include the most work of any technique posted so far, a lot of wear on a cold ICE, lengthier warm up time, and in some cases, more emissions due to the NOx spike on multiple re-ignitions. All other ICE-Off caveats also apply. |

Weapon of Mass Consumption
Gas-guzzlers, FSPs, or people that are absurdly wasteful.
Derived from the British hit The Fear's commentary on materialism
"...Life`s about film stars and less about mothers
It`s all about fast cars and passing each other
But it doesn`t matter cause I`m packing plastic
and that`s what makes my life fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
and its not my fault it`s how I`m program to function..." |
