Getting The Best MPG Driving

Posted by Century3Chevy on 12:14 PM


Anyone going on a trip over an hour long knows it can be a hassle figuring out how to get the most MPG out of their car... Everything plays a role, tire pressure, wheel alignment, weight, and especially speed.

Howstuffworks has a few tips to help you figure out your best speed!


This is actually a pretty complicated question. What you are asking is what constant speed will give the best mileage. We won't talk about stops and starts. We'll assume you are going on a very long highway trip and want to know what speed will give you the best mileage. We'll start by discussing how much power it takes to push the car down the road.

The power to push a car down the road varies with the speed the car is traveling. The power required follows an equation of the following form:

road load power = av + bv² + cv³

The letter v represents the velocity of the car, and the letters a, b and c represent three different constants:

The a component comes mostly from the rolling resistance of the tires, and friction in the car's components, like drag from the brake pads, or friction in the wheel bearings.
The b component also comes from friction in components, and from the rolling resistance in the tires. But it also comes from the power used by the various pumps in the car.
The c component comes mostly from things that affect aerodynamic drag like the frontal area, drag coefficient and density of the air.

'55 Chevy Auction To Aid Cancer Research

Posted by Century3Chevy on 9:50 AM

If you're a classic Chevy lover and want to help in the fight against cancer this one's for you! This Las Vegas resident is having an auction via Speed Channel Saturday at 1pm to sell his '55 Chevy 210 coupe to benefit cancer research.

Omaha.com writes:


The nation can watch when a local collector's donated car benefits the fight against cancer.

 At 1 p.m. CDT Saturday on the Speed Channel (Omaha Cox Cable channel 1078), a 1955 Chevrolet 210 Series two-door HT Sport Coupe will go up for auction at the Barrett-Jackson Car Auction in Las Vegas.

 Aptly named “The Survivor,” the all-original car was donated by avid automobile collector Roger Frank, owner of Frank Implement Co.

 Proceeds from the auction will be split between Festival of Hope and the Barrett-Jackson Cancer Research Fund.

 Festival of Hope is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help cancer patients who live in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming with nonmedical expenses.

 Frank estimates as many as 75,000 people will pack the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on auction day. He said Speed channel staff told him that about 14 million could be watching live.

A Detailed Look At The 2013 Spark

Posted by Century3Chevy on 9:09 AM

If you're looking for a car that features style, technology, and high mpg economy while offering a low price (Starting at well under $13k) then the Spark may be the perfect fit for you!

The Fast Lane Car writes:


Not all that long ago, nobody predicted Chevrolet would sell an urban commuter mini car with a small 1.25-liter engine designed almost expressly for younger folks who encounter lots of crowded big-city driving.

 But the new 2013 Chevy Spark is just such a car. It’s a front-drive, four-door hatchback approximately two inches shorter than a Mini Cooper. It looks as if it were squashed between two full-size Chevrolets of the early 1970s.

 The original version of the Spark is on sale in Europe, Asia, Australia, Mexico and South America. While this type car is supposed to be base, affordable transportation for countries with marginal roads and sky-high fuel prices, the U.S. version of the Spark is modified with stiffer front dampers, larger wheels and electric power steering. It’s also got a larger engine than offered in foreign countries.

 List prices for this South Korean-developed car range from $12,245 to $15,970, without a $750 freight charge. There are LS and higher-line 1LT and 2LT trim levels. They come with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
