Why? Just say your car cake of choice

Why did auto mfgs invent the Atkinson cycle?

Just say it

@LordCaledus what about you

You're a god damned snake and a troll

fucking piece of shit

That's really rude I just want to know your cake preferences

I want you to take back your god damned insults and admit you're wrong

Geeze you're denser than the cake my grandma made for my birthday

The text you're quoting isn't even in the article you linked.

She tried but bless her soul it was like a brick

who the fuck even are you retards

It's the second fucking paragraph. Now, quit with the fucking sophistry and semantics

No it's not.

*3rd*, sorry I went and looked to make sure

Just a bunch of idiots talking about cars

I mean there are 0 results for it, unless you linked the wrong thing.

11 for compression, none of that line.

I just clicked on it

Is this not the link? https://www.nap.edu/read/12924/chapter/4#23

If you linked something else it was scrolled out before you even said that, I guess you did.

Do you guys have a favorite tread pattern

oh piss off

I like the ones that push water out of the tracks

Oh

I guess that is kind of an answer, a tread pattern doesn't have to push water out

Don't they usually

Some people put those on backwards for offroad use so the outer edges can grab the edges of rocks.

most of the off roading ones don't really push water out

they're more for digging into things

Well anyway

Your answer is wrong

The correct favorite tread pattern is no tread

You're correct.

no because that looks boring

I want pretty patterns in rubber

Well

@Fitzydog how do you reconcile the idea of an "economy car" with a higher compression ratio to increase fuel economy with the higher cost of the higher octane fuel the buyer will have to use to allow for the higher compression?

I guess I can't fault you for that. I also like pretty patterns in rubber

@Matt Mazda lowered their engine from 14:1 to 13:1 to run on 87oct
