3 vs 4 cylinder
Can anybody tell me why a 3 banger would get better gas milage than a 4 banger at a lower rpm. Once you slow the 4 down where the frictional losses are the same for the motor, then the alternator, waterpump, etc would be turning slower, thus more mpg, plus the mechanical advantage- extra spark plug, more flow, etc. of course you would want to recam to better specs.
