2. With greater displacement, probably need to gear a bit taller for mpg For me, shorter (numerically "higher") gearing is more of a drag-strip or "zero-to-XXmph" thing. Once you're rolling, you're still free to rev each gear out up to 7400rpm if you want. I remember serious sportbikes from the 90s, the "R" track-oriented versions would have *taller* final-drive (sprocket) gearing, with closer transmission ratios. The idea being who cares how you're geared below minimum corner speeds... Quote:

True damn story. Made them a bear to launch, if you did want to go drag racing. If I remember right, the K5 GSXR1k was the first bike to have a 100mph first gear. Madness.

Ya the regs are all leaning in one way and sometimes put the other vehicles in a tight spot. They could probably use their fleet carbon credits to offset some of requirements but they like to hang onto those for their heavy hitter bigger volume vehicles.

Nissan made some of the best 6 cylinder motors of all time.. the RB motors in the past and the more recent VQ motors.. those motors are solid... maybe they were not as good with 4 cylinder motors haha

I mean, sure, but the electrical problems are ubiquitous across their fleet. I'm mildly surprised the Leaf didn't spontaneously burst into flames.

The CAFE standards are based on a vehicle’s size, or footprint,8 where every size vehicle has a fuel economy target. Generally, the larger the vehicle footprint, the lower the corresponding vehicle fuel economy target. 8 Essentially, the space between the points at which the tires touch the ground. https://www.cargroup.org/wp-content/...US-Economy.pdf Footprint Standard The new fuel economy regulations include a vehicle footprint standard. The standard assigns different fuel economy targets to vehicles based on individual footprint, which is equivalent to the vehicle width multiplied by the wheelbase.25 Vehicles with a smaller footprint are assigned a more stringent fuel economy standard than vehicles with larger footprints. Researchers have suggested that a footprint-based CAFE standard incentivizes automakers to increase the size of the vehicles they produce.26 |

I did have a catastrophic failure but it was my own fault for thinking "I am double the recommended schedule to change the timing belt but it is still fine so I will wait a bit more". Turned the head into a piece of modern art with the valves. Wasn't the car's fault though.
