Citation needed. (I don't think more than a factor of 3 is possible, in ideal circumstances.)
- coredog64 10y agoThe most efficient vehicles on the market today extract something like 40% of the energy from the fuel they burn. ICE installations can get to around 50%, but that's typically for very large CI engines. Absent comparing something like a top-fuel dragster, I think you're correct about a factor of 3.
