lol, thats complete rubbish, you just basically made up an equation that doesen't and cannot exist because the units on both sides are not the same....
|
Man.. Please take a physics class damn it..
You convert the numbers with constants. I feel like Im talkint to a 2 year old here.

MPG IS different from the energy you extract from the fuel to give you power!
|
no its not.. mpg gives you the amount of gas u use.. The hp curve gives you amount of power used in that same time. That gives you hp/gas liter. Learn some algebra. Given hp/ mpg/ and mph you can compute power/liter of gas in whatever unit you want.
|
Power is to do with how much friction is produced by the engine, how much fuel/ait mixture it can get into the combustion chamber in each cycle and how efficiently it burns it.
|
Now.. power is to the output of the engine.. and the power /liter gas is the power output of engine in hp per liter of gasoline(mpg used to compute) input.
