Punjab to get CNG 7 days a week during specified time

[awais.9]

@usmanuetian, @chaudhary9

Well I myself used to switch it off as soon as possible. But now I don't do that. During the testing, I was quite surprised to see the pressure gauge staying at almost the same position.

You can waste little gas just for the sake of establishing your vehicle's idle consumption
@Xulfiqar
Guru G, please guide if it's better to keep the engine running for 1 hour or shut it off and restart every 5 mins???

but it cant consume 0.35kg if it stays started for 1hr
at long signals i do turn off the car otherwise i dont even shift it to nuetral, but keep it engaged in D keeping a foot on brake which starts to get annoying, sometimes it lifts without knowing n car starts to roll forward then i press it harder to avoid it

they follow 10-4 schedule 4 days a week (including sunday)
3 days a week old schedule

sunday night they were all closed.

AR was closed on Sunday. I went there at about 2:30 pm

Well i dont have numbers to tell for sure but as far as wear is concerned, it is more at startup. And at idle, car can have 2-3 times more mileage so i think isbcap is right.

But there is a new theory + technology ie start-stop. According to them, engine at running temperature (such as when we stop at signals) consumes far lesser fuel at startup so the ecu basically shuts down the engine. As soon as pedal is pressed, the engine is restarted seamlessly as if it never stopped and hence they say this technique saves fuel. Still its a debatable topic personally i keep the engine on (search for my posts, my civic gives 18+ km/kg)
And i remember last year summers i idled the car for an hour with ac and it hardly made a difference on mileage.

For more info, google startstop

So when will you go to office ?

[Farhansa]

Yes. I will try tonight.

[mkhabbab]

0.35kg for 1 hr idling?? I dont think so. It means that keeping engine idle for 1 hr costs only 23 rupees...??? :o (0.35 x 66= 23 rupee)

also I have heard that if signal is more than 30 secs, better turn your engine off. 4~5 mins is only stay at railway crossings or at huge traffic blocks
I remember once @fazalwahab11375 shared somewhere that idling in some parts of USA or canada is not allowed for more than specific time, dont remember exactly. or that was on NMC . dont remember.
sir plz let us know if you have any information about idling car fuel consumption, or any other expert.

He is right idling does not cost that much fuel. My OBDII scanner shows a consumption of 8cc/min on idle and 12cc/min on idle with AC on. So you can calculate yourself how much petrol the car would consume in an hour of idling. And a kg of gas gives 1.5 times the mileage of a liter of petrol

[a_n_memon88]

I don't believe they can't cover generator cost. They are running 7 days a week and never free during this schedule. So they must be earning heavy amounts.

Its true they are making hell of a money. I am doing some calculations not complete yet but I have come to a conclusion that 1 mmbtu is equal to 19 kg of gas. And the rate for a mmbtu is around 625rs. Now you can calculate for yourself how much money they are making. Secondly in previour schedule they were selling gas for 72 hours in those 72 atleast 12 hours were of night where no car was for filling and they did not run generators so for 60 hours they used to gas. Now they sell gas for 6X6 hours i.e 36 hours and 18 on sundayi.e 54 hours, and I can safely say that each and every pump of lahore is selling more gas in this daily schedule than they used to do in 3 day schedule.

I already told people here that these CNG owners and association are not is public favour, they just favour these garib and miskeen transporters

idled 1hr with ac n still hardly made a difference? it must have made a difference with ac on atleast

yes that's right, my bad I did not calculate exactly but that tank of CNG finished almost at same time as normal tank finishes. So it probably consumed 0.5-1kg max. I will run a test someday to make sure how much exactly is used.

Edit: using the numbers given by @a_n_memon88

8*60cc = ~0.5 litres consumed in one hour of idle
since cng gives 1.5x mileage then approx cng used:

0.33kg without AC
0.5kg with AC

@a_n_memon88
i think cng pump owners are just in favour of their own pockets not of any1 else btw what is 8cc?

lolz. Lucky you are as you can get cng w/o office trouble.
