Even big cars go GREEN !
Increased fuel economy continues to be an important
factor in choosing a car.
With engine management systems like Direct Injection,
automakers are getting a jumpstart on the new rules
and designing smaller engines that are able to power
larger cars like the Buick LaCrosse.
Using high-tech computing power, engineers are able to
inject precise amounts of gas into the cylinders to reduce
fuel waste and vary valve timing to increase horsepower.
So even large luxury sedans, which once needed V-6's or
V-8's to move them, are now getting the same power from
a 4- Cylinder, while maintaining the 4-Cylinder's fuel economy. |
