Ok with the talk in the earlier thread about bhp/l what's your daily driver putting out:



Bhp/l - 90 ft-lb/l - 157



and just for the hell of it average mpg - 55


In news:FN3Wf.24690$ snipped-for-privacy@newsfe4-win.ntli.net, Depresion wrote something quite bizarre, possibly in an effort to confuddle the world. It went like so;

The Renault is managing a meagre 68.6 bhp/l, and a pretty woeful 68 lb-ft/l The 911 manages 72 bhp/l, and 62 lb-ft/l

Um, 26 round town, about 30 elsewhere for the Safrane, anywhere between 15 and 25 for the 911.

Astra 1.4 LSi

Bhp - 70 ft-lb/l - God Knows Mpg - 40

Cosworth 3 Door

Bhp - 472 fy-lb/l - 440 Mpg - 8 (you can't drive it economically)

Bhp/l - 197 ft-lb/l - 174 mpg - 30 *

  • well, technically, but I haven't measured it for a while - probably a little lower due to my enthusiastic driving :)

Oh goody - I think I'll lose this one comprehensively.

47.44 bhp/litre 78 lb/ft /litre

For ye olde Audi TDI.

That's buggered up the plans for the locost though. I'll need to chuck out the zetec and fit a hayabusa to balance things out.

Kinda lame -

Bhp/l - 72 ft-lb/l - 72ish

MPG average on paper, 40mpg, MPG average with me driving solely round Lincoln, 23 :-)

Capri doing about 55BHP/l and 32 MPG.

Legacy puts out about 280Bhp, god knows on the torque and does about 20mpg Metro is about 60bhp and about 35mpg Volvo 740 is about 120bhp and about 25mpg (I think)

Passat Sport 20v T

standard:

bhp/l - 83 ft-lb/l - 86 mpg - 31/32

currently:

bhp/l - 118 ft-lb/l - god knows mpg - 33/34

And 45mpg all day every day - driving it like you've stolen it.

87.5
102
27

what are you driving?!?!?!?!?!

195 horse 203 lb/ft from 2.9 litres and 13.9 mpg

So as per the question (per litre engine capacity) then.

67.25bhp/l 70 ftlb/l and 13.0mpg then ;)

Peugeot 306:

Bhp/l - 47.36 ft-lb/l - 76.47

mpg - 55

Zafira:

Bhp/l - 100 ft-lb/l - 92.2

mpg - trip computer currently shows 24.0 mpg...

That mpg wouldn't have surprised me if it was 'full litrage' My old turbo8 used to make 18mpg if driven hard!

Nah, that is for Dojj performance per litre, but real MPG. Same as mine above.

thats about right then :) very inefficent, can't see how that engine ever got past the bookkeeppers at ford :)

not sure mine's right then.. I pulled teh figure from here:

"174 ft·lbf torque" it says whatever the fonk that means.
