Petrol Consumption During Acceleration Tests
Tests show sudden acceleration reduces fuel efficiency. From standstill to 10 mph, fuel use jumps and average mileage drops to about two miles per gallon. Accelerating from 30 to 60 mph at full throttle in high gear yields 7 to 9 mpg. Wide open throttle consumes far more fuel than moderate speeds.
Engine starting quirks during cold operation
The passage describes engine warm up and idle behavior, noting that allowing the engine to idle at a moderately fast pace helps draw fuel from the carburetor and promotes oil circulation before loading. It mentions ignition faults, choke use, and adjusting timing to clear cylinders, with references to valve and compression issues and the need to ensure proper spark and fuel delivery.
