I wonder if this is Imperial gallons?

I wonder if this is Imperial gallons? It would still be impressive, just not quite AS impressive.

"Their fantastic fuel economy is achieved through technology called torque multiplication and it can be applied to all diesel cars"

"Torque multiplication keeps a car's rev range low. It is this that decreases fuel consumption and reduces emissions. For example, at 70mph, the Iceni is running at 980 rpm whereas the average car runs at between 2500 and 3500 rpm at 70mph."


I think they have an interesting transmission and the driver will need a bit of training to use it effectively.

Please carry on,

troy
