Abstract

Petrol or diesel are the main fuel or medium used in order to move a vehicle. It is important because without it the car cannot be operated. Car consume fuel, hence the fuel consumption is an important factor which will determine the cost spent on the fuel. The main objective of this study is optimizing the pressure of tyre and the fuel type which will minimize the fuel consumption. The other objective is to identify the factors affected the fuel consumption in automobile industry and type of test related to fuel economy. Before achieveing this objective, the place for conducting the experiment and the constant speed for driving through city and highway needed to be selected. The factors choosen for this experiment are fuel type and tyre pressure. Next, the analysis to get the fuel consumption was done to find the optimize combination of chosen factors by using Design of Experiment Method obtained from Design Expert software version 10. The result shows that the optimize model for maximizing fuel consumption of vehicle are low level of fuel type and high level of tyre pressure for highway test and high level of fuel type and low level of tyre pressure for city test.
