RE: Internal Combustion Engine in Detail
Informative post @davyd. Do you think that for the ICE (internal combustion engine) we've reached the peak of miles-per-gallon at 40-50 without making it a hybrid, or could we possibly optimize more? I see claims sometime that we can get more out of our engines, but don't see too many people pulling this off, so it seems we've hit our limit.
Thank you @sqIinsix
I dont think the 40-50 miles-per- gallon(mpg) mark is good enough to be our peak. More MPG heights can be achieved with a more efficient engine and transmission system with a lighter body and suspension(for improved ratio of sprung mass to unsprung mass) . So yes there is still much room for optimization.
