- At high engine rotational speeds, higher intake mixture temperatures decrease the volumetric efficiency of the engine (Chiu and Horng, 1992).
That's hardly an argument against (unless it's so low that there's no injector duty cycle to handle it) I mean, if I could have bought my car in a 1.0 liter (instead of 2.0)- I'd be much happier Something tells me that I'm not having a 50% decrease in volumetric efficiency though
