Adam asked:


When I say “small” airplanes, I’m talking about those owned by individuals for recreation, personal transportation, etc.

I really have NO idea what kind of fuel economy small planes get. If the answer varies widely based on model, feel free to give a specific example of model and fuel economy.

Jerry C asked:


I have an 06 F250 with a 6.0 L diesel and don’t get much fuel economy. I don’t want to put a chip in it because I don’t think it wil;l help the fuel economy and may void the warranty.

Fuel Economy

Mr. Q asked:


Someone told me there was a year in the 80s when the average fuel economy of all the cars on the road was 30mpg. Is that true? Does anyone know where I can find this information, a chart perhaps? I’d also like to know what the average is this year.

After listening to NPR on the C-130 Hercules fuel economy @ 3 gallons to the mile, I find that hard to believe. Can this be confirmed? I had no success with my internet research on this subject.

Fuel Economy

Oxygen-Bar Tender asked:


I drive a 2000 Nissan Frontier with a V-6 engine that has the following characteristics in fifth gear with cruise control on the highway: @70 mph= 3000 rpm, @65 mph=2750 rpm, @60 mph= 2500 rpm, @45 mph= 2000 rpm. At what highway speed would fuel economy be maximized while still maintaining a descent speed. The highway I drive on has a speed limit of 70 mph.

GKIRK78 asked:


please list the year, make, model and engine/transmission set-up (if you know) and the fuel economy you get.

Biodiesel

jthreattix asked:


None of the Hummers have to show their fuel economy because of their weight, and I can’t find anything anywhere, so I was wondering if anyone has measured or knows where to find those specs.
To those who tell me I shouldn’t bother “purchasing” a Hummer just because I inquire about it’s economy: How come I can’t just be asking for the sake of knowing? Why do I have to be asking to see if I can afford one? I’m just curious. That’s all.

daniel i asked:


I need something reliable – a scooter that will last a long time. What will make it worth it too is its fuel economy. I’d love to have brand names. Is $2000 to low a price to expect?

Looking for mechanical improvements/upgrades/alterations to improve the fuel economy on a honda civic hybrid. Not looking for advice on driving style. References to websites would be a great help.
