My curiosity is getting to me. Back in the old days, when cars were cars and gas was gas, I had several 318 powered vehicles that would regularly pull 20-25 mpg on the highway. Gas isn't what it used to be. What kind of gas mileage are you expecting to get out of this super duper 318, and what is its expected cost to get that mpg? The port injected 96 318 in my 4x4 truck is only getting 10 mpg around town. and around 13 on the highway.
I agree with the above,
but would add that
- ignition timing is not what it used to be
- air to fuel ratio is not what it used to be
NOx pollution requirements have hurt fuel economy in a large way
Low fuel economy has pumped a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.
Low fuel economy have emptied a lot of money from wallets.
The money could have been spent on reducing water pollution, setting aside wilderness areas, etc
It keeps getting worse, NOx pollution equipment wise.
I telephoned my brother 2 days ago and asked if he had a minute.
He replied: I have an hour and 21 minutes
because I am sitting outside the KW dealership in Memphis waiting for the service department to open
because the check engine light is coming on and off on this new &#@ vacuum truck
and I know from experience I do not want it to go into de-rate.
