2. Engine tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_tuning

   Fuel weight will affect the performance of the car, so fuel economy (thus efficiency) is a competitive advantage. Ways to increase power include: Increasing the engine displacement by one or both of two methods: "boring" - increasing the diameter of the cylinders and pistons, or by "stroking" - using a crankshaft with a greater throw.

3. Energy-efficient driving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-efficient_driving

   In the PnG strategy, the control of the engine and the transmission determines the fuel-saving performance, and it is obtained by solving an optimal control problem (OCP). Due to a discrete gear ratio, strong nonlinear engine fuel characteristics, and different dynamics in the pulse/glide mode, the OCP is a switching nonlinear mixed-integer ...

   Fuel additives in general Ether and other flammable hydrocarbons have been used extensively as starting fluid for many difficult-to-start engines, especially diesel engines; Nitromethane, or "nitro", is a high-performance racing fuel; Acetone is a vaporization additive, mainly used with methanol racing fuel

6. Car tuning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_tuning

   Car tuning is the modification of a car to optimise it for a different set of performance requirements from those it was originally designed to meet. Most commonly this is higher engine performance and dynamic handling characteristics but cars may also be altered to provide better fuel economy, or smoother response. The goal when tuning is the ...

7. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

   Since diesel engines use much higher compression ratios (the heat of compression is used to ignite the slow-burning diesel fuel), that higher ratio more than compensates for air pumping losses within the engine. Modern turbo-diesel engines use electronically controlled common-rail fuel injection to increase efficiency.
