I have just checked the stats, its winning!


Noticed? We made a concerted effort mate.

Read page 575 and 579 too.


Just read page 575, nicely done Jim

i know you've all moved on and everything but when you worked out the miles covered by a tyre, you didn't account tread wear as you're driving along.

I'm sure diesels are more efficient because there is more Kj of energy per Ml than petrol, less is needed for the same output.
Try working out the distance the piston travels in a minute at 3000rpm.

My bmws stroke is 75mm
3000x2 = 6000 movements (as 1/2 rev is 1 piston stroke)
6000x75 = 450000mm

450000mm = 45000 cm = 450metres a minute
So if you were in a gear usually lower than 4th gear for a minute the piston would travel further than the car :cool;
