The 2004 Dodge Sling Shot / Slingshot concept car. The Dodge Sling Shot was based on a smart car, but got better gas mileage and had faster acceleration â up to 45 miles per gallon with 0-60 times of about 10 seconds. Oh, and we drove it.
Both types of dryers function similarly -- air is drawn into the dryer, passes through a heating coil, warms the clothes inside, collects moisture, and is vented out. Gas dryers use gas to create the heat, and electric dryers use electricity. Both types use an electric fan to distribute the heat. Even though both types require a steady stream of electricity, gas models are slightly more efficient.
Gas vs. Electric. Electric dryers use coils to create the heat while gas dryers rely on a burner. Although gas dryers cost on average $50 more than their electric counterparts, they pay dividends at the energy consumption end.actors Influencing Clothes Dryer Temperature. Several factors influence the internal operating temperature of a dryer including cycle setting, load size, dampness, room temperature, and airflow. The make and the model of the clothes dryer, as well as its age, will also influence operating temperature.
