u can try 70km/h on highway. that is "sleeping speed" but it does
contribute to a lot of fc. Most "fc" challenge done by many car
manufacturer, do 60-70km/h in order to achieve maximum fc, including the
savy. but i won't do that, i'm gonna sleep on highway.. haha. cheers.

hhmm... 80km/h or 90km/h? or 2500rpm or 3000 rpm? some say 90 km/h and some
say below 3000rpm... i think it depends on rpm. you see, ford tdci has got
5 speed auto and so, if you say 90km/h the rpm is only 1600 and if you say
3000rpm the pickup is going at 160km/h already... so i think nowadays,
diesel engine is so efficient (commonrail) that it does not really matter
if you drive 90km/h, 110km/h or 130km/h as the rpm is just slightly
incresed. so the increase in diesel consumption is also marginal. it was
tested and yes... even you drive 1400-1600rpm the diesel consumption is
also slightly lesser only.

Hi Kentie,

The manufacturer has all work it out, When we design an engine, we always
have the fuel in mind. A Diesel engine and a Hydrogen engine are totally
differnt in perspective. Diesel with O2 burns at rate like a steam
engine, whilst H2 with O2 is 12 times the flame speed or it is like
Diesel Centane 45 against octane 150 or more. So when the engne is
design to operate on diesel , it is long stroke and high torque and low
rpm where H2 is low torque, high rpm , and whizzing like F1 engine.
Ever see a Heavy Fuel oil engine runs, probably you can see the
crankshaft rotates and your eye can follow the rotation. You can improve
the situation by co-firing the H2 and the diesel and presto,, you get
more mechanical energy dissipate then thermal dissipation.
So our palm oil biodiesel will have a place in the future. We can
chemical alter the molecular chain or do co-fring in the computer
control envriroment.
Who needs to drill oil in the first place ? Why should we let some
companies or personnel dictates what we use under our bonnet.?

Save the planet and act now. You can still tear down the highway with
diesel if you got the right HH0 co-firing the mixtures.
