Improving fuel consumption with lower exhaust emissions give more focused to all car manufactures. A higher engine performance with lower exhaust emissions requires a complete mixing process resulted in ultra-lean high combustion efficiency. Air intake temperature is one of the alternative strategies to improve fuel consumption and reduced exhaust emissions. This is due to the cold air is denser and contain higher oxygen availability. Air intake temperature will affect to the oxygen concentration in the charged air that influence the combustion process through ignition delay and fuel burning rate. The objective of this experiment is to investigate the effects of air intake temperature to the fuel consumption and exhaust emission at variation of engine speeds and constant load by using 1.6L gasoline engine. Air intake temperature was changed from 20 °C to 30 °C. The DaTAQ Pro V2 software was used to measure the engine fuel consumption while gas analyzer (MRU Gas Analyzer) was used to measure the exhaust emission such as Unburned hydrocarbons (UHCs) and carbon monoxide (CO). The results showed that fuel consumption, UHCs and CO emissions increased with the increase of air intake temperature. The increase of air intake temperature resulted in advanced and shorter combustion duration. Higher oxygen concentration at lower air intake temperature leads to the complete mixing process and complete combustion.  Therefore, the experimental results can be concluded that the lower air intake temperature resulted in improved fuel consumption and reduced UHCs and CO emissions.

The paper describes the influence of the start-stop system on the exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. The tests were performed for two vehicles. The first one was a vehicle designed specifically to operate in city conditions. It was fitted with a gasoline engine of the displacement of 0.9 dm3 and maximum power output of 63.7 kW. The other vehicle was an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) fitted with a diesel engine of the displacement of 3.0 dm3. The measurements of the exhaust emission were carried out on the same route under actual traffic conditions. For the tests a portable exhaust emissions analyzer from the PEMS group SEMTECH DS was used (PEMS Portable Emissions Measurement System).

This research examines the effect of installing a Turbo Cyclone on a 4 stroke gasoline engine on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. This research is a quantitative study using experimental research methods. The 4 stroke petrol engine used is the Yamaha Jupiter MX 135 cc. The data were processed in several stages of analysis using the mean formula, fuel consumption, the percentage formula, and comparing the results of data analysis from each treatment. From the results of data analysis, it was found that the installation of the Turbo Cyclone had an effect on fuel consumption and exhaust emissions from the 4 stroke engine. The best effect is obtained from the installation of the Turbo Cyclone after the carburetor, fuel consumption shows a decrease of up to 8%, exhaust emissions show a decrease in HC levels by 9% and an increase in CO2 levels by 1%.  Penelitian ini mambahas pengaruh pemasangan Turbo Cyclone pada mesin bensin 4 Tak terhadap konsumsi bahan bakar dan emisi gas buang. Penelitian ini  merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode penelitian eksperimen. Mesin bensin 4 Tak yang digunakan adalah Yamaha Jupiter MX 135 cc. Data diolah dengan beberapa tahapan analisis menggunakan rumus  mean, konsumsi bahan bakar,  rumus persentase, dan membandingkan hasil analisis data dari masing-masing perlakuan. Dari hasil analisis data didapatkan adanya pengaruh dari pemasangan Turbo Cyclone terhadap konsumsi bahan bakar dan emisi gas buang dari mesin 4 Tak tersebut. Pengaruh yang paling baik didapat dari pemasangan Turbo Cyclone setelah karburator, konsumsi bahan bakar menunjukkan penurunan mencapai 8%, emisi gas buang menunjukkan penurunaan kadar HC sebesar 9% dan peningkatan kadar CO2 sebesar 1%.

This research aims to determine the effect of variations diameter pistons on exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. This research used a gasoline engine single-cylinder four-stroke  with variations in cylinder volume 100 cc, 90 cc, 60 cc and engine rotation  1500 rpm, 2500 rpm, 3500 rpm, 4500 rpm, 6000 rpm. Data was collected in transmission N, 1, 2, 3, and 4 each of the three repetitions for each round engine rotation, using a gas analyzer 2400 ultra 4/5 IM Hanatech brand for exhaust emission of CO and HC. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that with decreasing diameter of piston up to 60 cc can reduce exhaust emissions, especially CO, HC and fuel consumption. The highest HC exhaust emissions was in 100 cc cylinder volume that is equal to 514.33 ppm while the lowest HC emissions obtained in 60 cc cylinder volume at 49.67 ppm. The highest CO emission was obtained on 100 cc cylinder  by 4.64% volume, while the lowest CO emission was obtained on 60 cc cylinder by 0.31% volume. The highest CO2 emissions obtained in 60 cc cylinder amounted to 17.60% volume, while the lowest CO2 emission obtained at 100 cc cylinder  amounted to 8.37%  volume, and the highest fuel consumption obtained in 100 cc cylinder  at 0.65 kg/h, and the lowest fuel consumption obtained in 60 cc cylinder  by 0.06 kg/h.
