Hi,
Sooo..not so long ago i changed my ATF ( about 2 months now), and well since then the car has been drinking petrol like a freaking beast.. I've checked everything, seems to be no problems...
One thing i do noticed is, my rolling resistance is very high, for example... if i were driving on a near perfect horizontal road travelling at 80km/h, and i let go of the accelerator, the cars speed would drop extremely fast, i'd be at approx 60km/h in less then 5 seconds...Where as if i chuck it in Neutral gear, the car will just roll and roll and roll.. =)
Another example, when im going down hill in Drive gear, i won't pick up any speed like a normal car would, instead my speed actually slowly decreases.. and im talking about a pretty decent 25-30 decline hill. Soo im going down a hill at like 60km/h and will slowly drop, and if the hill is pretty steep, the speed usually stays the same, once again not picking up speed ...=(
Is there a reason why my cars rolling resistance is SO HIGH , when its in Drive Gear?? Is it related to the ATF i put in?
Replies are much appreciated, Thanks
P.S I drive a 91 Honda Accord (cb7), never used to have this problem till after the ATF change, and Yes.. i have made sure many times that the tyres are at the right pressure..
