[PCW] fuel economy

[Malcolm Tennant]

Arild,

It is 0.238l or 238ml. The system used is immaterial. What is important is
that a 400hp engine will use roughtly the same amount of fuel to produce one
HP/KW for one hour as a 50hp engine.

As a designer I use the metric system because it is much easier and systematic
than Imperial and I use grams instead of litres because I am constantly
concerned with mass [weight/displacement]. Designers generally tend to have
slightly different concerns to the everyday user.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Malcolm Tennant.
