Dear Josh and all ,
Dimensions figures says all .
Emissions and efficiency says nothing without the conditions definition :
On a testbank ?
At what speed ?
On a road without gear or speed change ?
On a real road with 10-20 stops or deviations ?
Only versus X Km ?
Wind resistance or not ?
Fuel type ?
Soft or agressive drivers style ?
Road surface ?
Test instruments quality .? Mark ?
We could cheating ourself with a heavy foot driving stile !
Put a FIGARO CO sensor in a diluter box 2x5x8 cm / Air input 10 mm ,gas
input 5 mm into the car exhoust and see your CARBON MONOXIDE DRIVING STYLE
,wille driving .
ACCELERATION makes the big difference .
A Chevrolet 4,6 L used 15L/100 Km in country villages at 90 Km/h and
10 L/100 Km at 120 Km/h on a 10000 Km high way trip! What is its
consumpton now ???
Regards
Frans .
