Because at 70mph yeah the same car will need Z amoutn of power to pull it along. Now at any give throttle position, rpm the engine will use X amount of fuel to make Z amount of power. If Z is the same then X will be very close as it's not max power you're using. ( they wil differslightly as it's efficienty is different) and anywho you seen a 8v and a 16v 2L race esp in a nova I dare you to spot the difference. | |

why is a 8v slower than a 16v then if they use the same amount of fuel? | |

Nope they will both give you about 35-40mpg. | |

much diff in petrol on a 8v rather than 16v? | |

Then drop a 2L 8v in yourself, not rocket science, you can pick up a 20SEH for 50-100notes. dead easy. then fitting kit 380, so for 500 you could drop a 130BHP 2L in, sorted. and petrol consumption is very good with those in. | |
