Why the more you push the gas pedal , the stronger the car is (say, when pulling something)?

russ_watters said:The combustion process is very precisely computer controlled - they inject more air with the more gas to keep the mixture right, so the only thing that really changes is the force on the piston.
That black smoke is usually oil getting burned in the process.pixel01 said:So, you may not have seen some old cars/motorbikes which split out pile of black smoke when you accelarate. Even though, the force is increased.
pixel01 said:It's easy to say : more gas => more energy => more force.
There's a point the gas mix is optimum, above that, gas burns less effectively, but the force does get stronger when you continue to push down the pedal?

I had a '79 Camaro that begged to differ on that. I had a serious leak that allowed oil to get into the combustion side of the cylinders. The smoke cloud was VERY black.ray b said:NO gasoline burns black when rich [unburnt carbon smoke ]
as does diesel
oil burning smoke is gray
coollent is white [steam]
Maximizing power refers to the act of achieving the highest level of engine performance and output by pushing the gas pedal to its fullest extent. It allows the engine to produce more power and accelerate faster.
Pushing the gas pedal is important because it controls the amount of fuel and air that enters the engine, ultimately determining the power output. By pushing the gas pedal, you are telling the engine to work harder and produce more power.
The more you push the gas pedal, the more fuel and air are being consumed by the engine, resulting in lower fuel efficiency. However, pushing the gas pedal is necessary for certain situations such as accelerating onto a highway or passing another vehicle.
Yes, pushing the gas pedal too hard for extended periods of time can potentially damage the engine. This is because it puts a strain on the engine and its components, causing them to wear out faster. It is important to push the gas pedal in moderation and only when necessary.
Yes, besides pushing the gas pedal, you can also increase power by regularly maintaining your vehicle, using high-quality fuel, and ensuring proper tire inflation. These actions can help improve engine efficiency and overall performance.
