it depends on a number of factors such as the size of the fuel tank, the type of fuel, and the engine's fuel efficiency


How many miles per gallon does a 2.2 engine get?

An engine size, by itself, is not directly related to its fuel efficiency. The consumption will depend on engine design, the fuel itself, the mass of the vehicle - a litre will take a scooter a lot further than it will take a tank!


Does a Supercharged engine get better gas mileage?

Generally speaking No. And of course it depends on what the other engine size that you are comparing it with. But generally speaking Supercharged engines arent made for fuel efficiency


What is the average fuel efficiency of automobiles?

Automobiles have an average fuel efficiency of around 23 miles per gallon. The specific efficiency will vary depending on the size and type of vehicle.


What are the some factors that affect the efficiency of automobiles?

Vehicle weight, size of the engine, gear ratios, type of fuel, aerodynamic design. There are many many more but this is a good start.

The fuel efficiency of the car depends on the manufacturer, the model (including the engine size) as well as the driving style, road and traffic conditions.


Why are cars with big engines a problem?

As the Engine capacity/size increases it is unavoidable that the rest of the engine has to increase in size to cope with the larger forces the larger engine capacity produces. This has the unavoidable effect of increasing friction, and reducing Fuel Efficiency. Hence a 4 liter engine will use more fuel than a 2 liter engine if all other things such as: Technology, weight of vehicle, driving style, fuel type etc are the same. Having a vehicle capable of 180MPH, that does 15MPG is regarded as "a problem" by some when the speed limit is 55MPH and a vehicle capable of 100MPH will do 60MPG. **Cars with big engines are considered a problem because it uses more fuel and creates bigger emissions.


What is the horsepower on 199cc?

Horsepower is not dependant on engine size, but on engine efficiency and RPM, more information is needed to answer this question.


How many gallons of gas does it take to drive one mile on a v6 engine?

There is not enough information to give an answer. V6 tells you only that the engine has 6 cylinders which are laid out in a V shape. It says nothing about their size nor, more importantly, the fuel efficiency of the engine.


Does a 2000cc engine consume more fuel than a 1500cc engine?

engine size is not always proportional to fuel consumption. need more data.
