Abstract

Due to world's crude oil prices that are increasing lately, many countries are also experiencing a rise in petrol prices. In Malaysia, petrol is sold in two types of grade, RON 95 and RON 97 while diesel is used for heavy vehicles. Fuel prices in Malaysia are controlled by the Malaysian government. By the end of 2017, oil prices in Malaysia becomes fluctuate every week, which is on Thursday. Consequently, consumers seek to save on the daily rate of fuel consumption. Both RON 95 and RON 97 petrol have different octane values and also have a different combustion levels in the combustion engine. There are several factors that can affect combustion in the engine. In addition, there are also some other factors that can affect the daily rate of fuel consumption such as the engine capacity of the car itself, the amount of load carried on the vehicle, the temperature surrounding as in the morning, noon and even night. Additionally, driving can also play an important role in the use of gasoline in the engine such as driving at uneven speed and driving in an aggressive manner or accelerating the vehicle quickly. Moreover, tyre pressure are also affect the fuel consumption rate of a vehicle, as it can increase the rolling resistance of the vehicle's tyre. The less resistance the tyre is, the less fuel consumption the vehicle uses. In this research, several methods have been used such as reading materials from online journals, data collection from fuel counter meter that will be installed on the fuel line to calculate the data statistically. The data can be analyzed and the factors that most affect the fuel consumption in the vehicle will be determined. Therefore, this study is conducted to investigate either different tyre pressure and weight load can affect the fuel consumption of a vehicle or not.
