would the same apply for manila conditions? in heavy bumper-to-bumper and stop-and-go situations, wouldn't the difference in fuel economy be much more pronounced?

July 6th, 2003 04:49 PM #42Contrary to what people think, a big engine running unstressed is likely more economical than a smaller engine. We have both a 4.0li V6 Explorer and a 2.0li Revo (GAS) at home and the Revo is using more fuel per km, even in Metro Manila traffic.

July 7th, 2003 01:47 PM #45Technology, my friend... The Expedition's powerplant is full of it plus it has much higher gearing and better aerodynamics.Originally posted by OTEP

Too bad that our gov't doesn't see this and slaps a lot of tax based on displacement. I've argued this topic so many times on AI and this is the biggest flaw of a tax system that penalizes large displacements. Tech advances are never taken into account.
Even if there were technology available that would allow a 6-liter V8 to get 10km/liter, it would still get taxed as if it were guzzling the Philippines' oil reserves.

July 7th, 2003 01:54 PM #46There is a 50% increase in displacement from 2 to 3-liter... Actual fuel consumption increase will most likely be much less than 20%. Probably 1km/liter...Originally posted by mbt
