fiat uno is a good one for gas, or a scooter

Haha fiat uno an a push bike are great options but then we will have to cover running 31s on a uno or installing a 3 cylinder Kubota diesel engine on a push bike...seriously can't understand why someone would waste so much time thinking about getting better gas mileage for a terrano...these sorts of questions
Are what I used to ask my dad when I was 15 with my first car dreaming of putting a v8 in 1000cc hatch back...no wonder he got so frustrated haha

i know what you mean, i used to want my jeep to be better on gas but then i realized that its a american car and would never be cheap, as for a terrano, sell it and get a suzuki. problem solved!

i reckon that if your after better fuel economy then you should fit WAAAYYYY bigger wheels. like tractor ones. That way they do less revolutions to get to were you going which means motors doing less revs which means less fuel. We"ll gloss over all the other little issues it would cause :lol: :lol: :roll: :wink:

it was the bad spelling that started it, but 11km for a turbo is quite good.

my 3l v6 camry gets that sometimes, but thats non turbo, and we drive it like a nanas car (well mrs does....)

If it's economical and set up for shingle roads, you should be able to drive past people stuck in mud holes aswell, it happens to me all the time :D

This may help answer the first question... or not

RPM x tire diameter = MPH
gear ratio x 336

MPH x 1.609344 = KPH

MPH x gear ratio x 336 = RPM
tire diameter

Get your logic the phuck outta this thread bubba.

Still trying to decipher original qn

Offect

Offect takes on all meanings of affect and effect, is conjugated similarly, and is used when you don't care or can't remember if affect or effect is right.



This is all copied from the "Concise Urban Dictionary" so its for real

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=offect
