I know my 3.8 injected and electronically controlled 6 in my current vehicle gives significantly better than a 30% improvement in mileage over the 3.8 liter carbureted engine with mechanical timing advance on my '75 Pacer did - ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The 30% improvement disappears when operating hour after hour at a 75% to 100% power setting to duplicate aircraft performance requirements. Let me rephrase... The 30% improvement is only do-able/practical for automotive generally low end power, street applications, loads and conditions. When operating at 75% to 100% power settings demanded by aircraft... The 30% improvement disappears unless the test conditions and comparisons are fatally flawed or rigged for such an outcome. P.S. The Pacer is still a sick joke of a car for testing or otherwise. Barnyard BOb -- unfair to mix apples and Pacers |
