(low) full load time Explanation: "Volllast" is the term for literally "pressing the pedal to the metal" which inceases fuel consumption considerably. |

in support of John Jory Explanation: In this context Volllast = Full throttle, no doubt. Two versions of the sentence: A low-RPM driving manner with full-throttle intervals kept to a minimum would significantly reduce average fuel consumption, particularly with turbocharged gasoline engines. or: ... improve fuel efficiency... Particularly with turbocharged gasoline engines, actual gas mileage can be significantly improved through a relaxed, low-RPM driving manner where full-throttle intervals are kept to a minimum. -------------- Turbocharging improves overall fuel efficiency, as it ensures more complete combustion of the fuel in the combustion chamber. At high revs/full throttle, however (in the so-called high supercharging zone), fuel efficiency deteriorates compared to a normally aspirated ICE. Actually, full throttle is always inefficient in terms of fuel consumption, but this seems to be more pronounced in turbocharged engines. In short: if you're driving a turbo, your gas expenses would normally be lower - unless you're in the habit of holding your right foot down to the floor. Been there, done that... ;) |
