Boosting visibility and fuel efficiency


Boosting visibility and fuel efficiency

Anthony Fontanelle
September 24, 2007

Fog lights provide extra illumination on a cloudy or hazy night. They give off a wide, bar-shaped beam of light with a sharp cutoff at the top, and are generally aimed. Offered with either a white or selective yellow hue, fog lights are utilized at low speeds to increase the illumination directed towards the road surface. As such, fog lights’ maximum efficiency comes when used as an alternative to the dipped-beam headlights, as they reduce the “glare back” from fog or falling snow. Legality, however, varies by jurisdiction of using front fog lights without low beam headlights. Studies though, have shown that in US, more people erroneously use their fog light in dry weather than use them correctly in poor weather. This is probably common to Audi owners, because flaunting the Audi Fog Light is hard to resist. Aside from being highly efficient, they add that certain “spunk” to an Audi.

On the other hand, fuel injection is an important means of metering fuel into an internal combustion engine. Whereas carburetor depends on the vacuum created by intake air rushing through it to add the fuel to the air stream, the fuel injection system atomizes the fuel by forcing it through a small nozzle under high pressure. In Audi cars, the Audi Fuel Injector acts as a nozzle and a valve: the power to inject the fuel comes from further back in the fuel supply, from a pump or a pressure container. Made from most durable materials and out of the latest technologies, the Audi Fuel Injector boosts both fuel efficiency and horsepower.
