Do rental car companies turn down fuel pumps to reduce performance. ?
- no, they are not smart enough for that. Its highly unlikely that it would work. They'd have to redo the timing, ECU mapping, injector sizes. lots of stuff. And of course they would have no warranty for the product they rely on to make money - no a smart move. why would they bother, they bin the cars very frequently anyway
- Of course they don't. You seem to be a conspiracy theorist
- Certainly not - what car was it? I find a lot of modern stuff really sluggish compared to how they look in the spec sheet
- When you rent a car do not you have to refill it yourself or get charged for what you use ?
- 'Turning Down the fuel pump' is something that be very hard to do, if not impossible, and with modern cars, with fuel injection, etc, that are designed to run on a certain amount of pressure and also have fuel pressure regulators, could cause the car not to run. Its a rental car dude. Everyone who drives a rental thrashes it, so basically a rental with even very low mileage has had a very, very hard life. Spec sheets are not everything, either. There are lots of cars that are quicker than others on paper, but are hosed by cars with lower power for one reason or another
- Not possible to do what you suggest. There are no adjustments that could be made to detune the performance of a modern vehicle
- LOL, no. When you get a rental you do not know what kind of service it is receiving or how it has been treated. If you want to get a feel for how a car performs, go to a dealership and test drive one
- What a strange question, I can not think of any reason why they would do that
- Really would not have thought so as you usually put the fuel in anyway
- No they wouldn't. All you have to do is push more throttle and reducing fuel pressure will mess with economy more than performance, it's counter - productive
