i think a better way to say it, is a larger displacement motor will get better mpg than a smaller forced induction motor with the same power level. or a higher rpm slightly lower displacement engine

if you take jeffs H22 turbo project. that thing would blow my stangs doors off, and im sure it would get better mileage too. you know why? because it still had the stock head, IM, and cams. if it had big cams, a more free flowing head and IM. it would hurt the mileage a bit im sure |

2005 Ferrari F430 Coupe
Pictures, Features, Specs, Dealer Quotes $174,585 NL 4.3L V8 490HP 343TQ 11/16 mpg Curb Weight MT3197 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Pictures, Features, Specs, Dealer Quotes $64,890 $58,077 7.0L V8 505HP 470TQ 16/26 mpg Curb Weight MT3130 now why is this true? the vette has a much larger motor, they both make relitivly the same horsepower. gearing and torque. and this is not knocking the ferrari at all, because high revving motors are great for racing. but if you want big power, and good mileage. a low revving torquey motor with tall gears is the way to go. |

What I don't understand is why if the bigger the motor the better the gas mileage that all the V8's are on the worst gas mileage list while the small motors get the best: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bestworstEPAtrucks.htm Maybe the government got the list backwards. |
