4 Cylinder Fuel Injected Turbos > v8

Why do you bother to mention "fuel injected?"  Every modern car has fuel injection.  Maybe there are some russian trucks that are still manufactured with carburetors...

There are some very fuel efficient V8s, but generally they achieve maximum efficiency only if driven carefully.  The LS2 in the C6 Corvette makes 28mpg highway, and that is a conservative estimate.  My cousin\'s C5 has been known to reach 32 mpg while cruising at highway speed in sixth gear.  The engine only turns at around 1,500 rpms, and still has plenty of torque for highway cruising.  There are also new V8s available with cylinder deactivation features that let you enjoy the best of both worlds.

I agree that I prefer light, super efficient small displacement engines.  Forced induction, especially turbo applications usually gobble fuel.  If that is your primary concern then you\'re better off with a low power economy car like a Hyundai or a Toyota Echo.  However, there are several engines out there that strike a good balance between fuel efficiency and power.

a v8 running on 4 or 6 cylinders isn\'t my idea of a efficient v8 just one that disables cylinders to conserve fuel. Why do u go on about fuel consumption being my concern?  i couldn\'t care less.    Unless that wasn’t directed at me. I was simply stating V8s will always been around, fuel costs or not.

As for all current cars being fuel injected.  No kidding!!    really??

There are too many cars with v6\'s that kill v8\'s.

Oh so you knew all along.  OK.  Still don\'t understand why you bothered to mention it.

Just force of habit. Not all turbos are fuel injected.

Inject fuel into the turbos or the cylinder head ?_?

V8\'s will fizzle out sooner or later.  If history repeats itself we\'ll find something much better than the internal combustion engine.  I\'d imagine some would be kept around as "classics" but will be running off alternative fuel.  4-cyl would be around a little longer just like hybrid cars have them now.  I\'ve seen the future and this will be happening in 2000.

A car only needs about 15 HP to maintain highway speeds.  Why do you need to burn fuel in 8 cylinders?  The ability to turn off cylinders as needed kicks ass and will become very common in only a year or so.


Oh, and HURRICANE...  CHange your fucking Usertitle.  ya fag.

Oh yeah, just what ever college kid needs, a new car. :rolleyes:

Get a job, start making the payments, regret it later. That\'s my advice to you. I will never buy another brand new car, once mine is paid off, that\'s it. No more car payments. Car payments = teh suck.

Speaking of which, how does a college kid afford all these toys, eh?

A very good weekend job... made $340 yesterday... that\'s more than enough for one payment right there.

^^^ Car payments suck ass. 2 years later and you are going to be wondering why you bought the thing. The value of the car is going to be way down and you still owe a huge amount on the car.

I have been very greatful to not have to get a car note. Last car note I had was in 2001.  I just got a 2004 dodge intrepid. Paid for it cash.

yeah... I don\'t have $20,000 laying around...

I do, and I still think I\'m gonna find someone to buy out the lease on my trailblazer. If I had known my boys were such good swimmers, I would not have gotten that second new car. The payments equate to $420 a month including insurance,  not counting gas. I gotta buy a house, and I don\'t know how long Kyoko\'s gonna be out of work for. Ah fuck it, I\'ll start a new thread.

I throw down 700 on my car a month.  I don\'t owe that much, but I pay extra on it.  

A very good weekend job... made $760 yesterday... that\'s more than enough for one payment right there.

damn I should have gone to college.
