For F1 (Wikipedia) |
|
|
|
|
Race fuel consumption rate is
normally around 75 liters per 100 kilometers traveled (3.1 US mpg -
3.8 UK mpg - 1.3 km/l). Nonetheless a Formula One engine is over 20%
more efficient at turning fuel into power than most small commuter cars,
considering their craftsmanship. |
