This isn't always the case. When they do, it's typically because they're smaller cars, with less weight, less surface for the wind to resist, etc. But a four cylinder engine which has to struggle in order to get the car moving isn't necessarily going to get better mileage than the six cylinder engine requiring a lot less effort.
The best economy rental cars are sedans or coupes. These would be smaller cars with four cylinder engines for better gas mileage. They are usually not luxury and have only the basics.
sometimes
German cars tend to have much better safety ratings and often have better engines, like the volkswagen.
that isn't always true. however, smaller engines are made towards higher rpm's. and also rev up faster. larger engines are more for torque, and smaller engines are more compact and for lighter cars.
Less weight = better fuel mileage.
Not typically. It depends on the vehicle, Large pickups and SUVs with small engines tend to get worse mileage than the same type of vehicle with a larger engine, especially in hills and when towing. The smaller engines have to work much harder for similar results. In cars a V6 Buick can achieve better economy than a 4 banger Honda, it all depends on the manufacture and engines http://fueleconomy.gov/ is a great site to compare cars and engines for economy
yes because electric cars cause lesss pollution and they have silent engines
If the reason for the price of gas increasing is shortage of supply, then making new cars with smaller engines might be a good idea
Yes, they have fast and or luxurious cars with great engines. (Jaguar)
Single-cylinder engines are generally less popular in used cars because they tend to offer lower power and performance compared to multi-cylinder engines, which provide smoother operation and better acceleration. Additionally, single-cylinder engines often struggle with balance and vibration, making them less appealing for everyday driving. They are typically found in smaller vehicles, motorcycles, or specialized applications rather than mainstream cars, where consumers prioritize efficiency and comfort. As a result, the demand for multi-cylinder engines remains higher in the used car market.
Some ways cars have changed over time: cars have become more stylish and more fuel efficient. Engines generally are smaller. Seat belts and air bags have been added for safety. Engines have been improved over time.
the cars in the 1900 have small engines. they had thin tires too. they only went like 30 mph. changes are for the better
