NSX runs 10, Civic Type R runs 9.8
Civic Si runs 10.3
Elantra Eco runs 10
Focus ST runs 9.3
Oh, the SKYACTIVE is 13
And I don't think that's the turbo version, is it?
That would be impressive if it is.
I was mistaken lol. We have a Mazda at the house, so that's what I was thinking of
Also the Civic Si has taller gearing than the BRZ in every gear past first, especially once you get to 4th where it's 4th is basically 5th in the BRZ and it has two overdrive gears vs. 1. I'm not saying the engine isn't more efficient anyway, but that's definitely a factor.
I never said it wasn't
I wasn't talking to you.
Yeah, why are you on about BRZs?
It's not a turbo anyway. Not super relevant to the discussion.
6:06 PM] Rat Attac: And yeah, @Matt, I would agree that gearing is a huge factor. Yet you have cars like the Civic Si with similar power to the BRZ, and (IIRC) similar gearing, yet it's more efficient.
I mean you brought it up
Not me
Big memory hole for both you guys.
He only brought it up 6 minutes ago and he and you forgot?
Oh well. Too bad we weren't talking to you
YOU brought up the BRZ
I mean he tagged me in the post
Big memory hole for you
Look. The BRZ is sick nasty. The Civic? Not.
I was responding to your comments about Subarus getting bad mileage.
And I tagged you after you jumped in and called me a moron.
When did I do that?
I said the WRX, compared to the Tahoe, because engine size, and similar power
I didn't introduce you to this convo
That was me.
I mean that literally never happened.
Paste where I jumped in and called you moron.
Ah no, that was Sediment
You were just nicer about it
Slightly
"See, this is why you get "picked on" in here by your own admission.
Saying stuff like this.
I mean this is just outright not true."
And then it turned out to be true
You fucks are getting in a fight, because @Matt misunderstood what I said. lol
Anyway, my point is this whole conversation about fuel efficiency across different types of vehicles without bringing what the engines are in and the gearing they're using is ridiculous.
That's the theme
