thats good oil usage , i put in a pint motor oil every refueling usually and that is considered acceptable. with modern motor oils there are those who will go quite further between oil changes than the traditional . when i was a commuter traditional intervals would have required oil change every other month and i thought that excessive.
with a 32 year old machine like mine attention to rust issues are given,i repaired floor pans with stage 3 rust using hot lead , not the perfect solution but adequate .
i put a lot of miles on machines with power to weight of about 250 lbs/HP & 70 lbs/Lb torque , operating machinery like that will teach you the value of momentum and timing which i think is the essence . those types of ratio would put the new 84 Hp Fiat engine in front of 21,000 lbs, and the power in front of a generic 2+2 airbody of est 2800 lbs gross of 11 HP.They need to work on the torque though.
ratio like that would increase the time at WOT but i doubt the rate of acceleration would be acceptable to even the strictest of eco-driver
we have to drive whats available though and do the best we can with what we have.
