No idea how it’ll go in the calculations but it was fun to design something different from the usual competitions but which still has a purpose I can support! (No way am I designing a Hummer competitor, )
[quote=“DoctorNarfy”]Yeah, Mechanical fuel injection is better as far as horsepower output, but in my opinion, it’s not worth the price gap. I’ve found a way to use carburetor to get pretty darn good reliability, but in the process, I think I’ve won the award for lowest specific output. 8 liters of thundering fury, developing… Wait for it…
110 Horsepower.[/quote]
well… 13.75HP per liter. but power band? also, i assuming it’s a v8?

MFI it’s expensive and complicated, I used a big old carburetor. And, since I know I wasn’t getting anywhere with fuel economy, I designed instead a really torquey engine, with a low specific output as well… but not that low.

like 4.7km/l i think.[/quote]
i remember the vehicle i made as a test of the rules got me like 12 MPG using MFI, so it isn’t impossible to get into double digits

I’m getting 11.9 mpg with it right now, and I still need to do some tweaking, so it’s entirely possible. Of course having a vehicle that weighs less than 1500 kg makes it easier to go for fuel economy.

uuh buddy?
4.7km/l is 11.05MPG. it’s already in double digits

I can’t remember if mine is a 3.7, or a 3.8L V6… half of yours though in every way.
Those scientists don’t deserve the premium interior Sometimes the pricing is wrong when switching tabs. I was just below 20,000 and changed a few things and ended up at 20,300. I lowered it to exactly 20,000, but when I reloaded, I was at 19,200 and got to reverse some of my cost cutting. Not sure why it does that, but that might be the issue you’re having (assuming you’re just a few hundred off)
