I know this sounds like a completely stupid question, but i've seen some posts on the org claiming that a new battery has improved gas milage. I guess in theory less strain on the electrical system can improve gas milage. I understand that once the car is started the battery does not do all that much, but there is still a load on the battery in certain situations. What do you guys think??? Also what is the recomended amount fo cranking amps for our cars

 

any thoughts?

 

i have a brand new stinger power Battery 1700CA...huge battery 13 inches wide..i didnt really notice any improvements in gas milage...

but i dynoed it and got about 300 HP gain from the battery..and im thinking about dropping a old sentra engine in my Max..cause its lighter and it will make my car go faster...

LOLLLLLLL

 

ohh yeah and those lights for your exhaust make u go faster too, crazy hp gains.

 

i notice a difference i think. I have too difdferent batteries cause my **** always fails to start( i need a new started), and i can tell the differance between one and the other.

those muffler tips kick ***, i have one muffler and two tips comming out the back of my car! just kidding there si a escort crusin around my city with two comming out the back and only has one real pipe, the other one is held o by wire.

 

yeah the smaller the battery the better gas miles. Less weight.lol

 

i was going to ask the same question because ever since i got my optima redtop, i've been averaging about 3-5 more MPG

 

Optima red and yellow is much lighter than regular batteries, right??

 

i was only jokin. I didn't know I was right too.

 

I don't know, i somehow dropped each on my foot in the process of installing the new one, and they felt the same.......



Realistically though, let's say that the battery weighs 50lbs. If you were to remove that, and replace it with a 25lb battery, you're only taking 25lbs off, how much can 25lbs affect gas mileage?

I can understand the MPG being affected if you're carrying a husky family of 4 and all their luggage, but 25lbs? And what if there's only 2-3lb difference between the two, does that account for 2-3 extra miles?
And if that's so, does that mean if i lose weight i'll get better gas mileage?

 

Suggest to change your computer keyboard as well. 300HP!

 

Yeah but what if your battery doesnt have enough cranking amps. I noticed mine only has 450 and 350 cold. At night when my headlights are on and my turn signals are on my odomiter dims

 

sarcasm........

 

i went to track when tank was on E. i did a run and my 0-60 was 4.5 sec ! i suggest u all run on empty tank when goin to track, 200+ hp gain !

 

enough with the sarcasim already, im asking a legitiment question. Can running a battery without enough cranking amps reduce gas milage in any way? People have said it before, is there any validity to it

 

im sorry i started the sarcasm...kinda..i really dont know if it improves the gas milage

 

Thanks there is not reason to be sarcastic ****s. I was wondering the same thing. All we need is an answer not a ******** comment.
