Does V6 engine consume more fuel than v4?

With recent improvements in engine technology, 4-cylinder engines have become increasingly powerful while V6 engines are more fuel efficient than ever, significantly narrowing the gap between four- and six-cylinder vehicles. A well-functioning 1991 V6 engine is likely to be outperformed by a four-cylinder model today.

Does a V6 engine take a lot of gas?

The Impala’s 3.6-liter V6 makes 305 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque, and it gets twenty-nine miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway. However, when an engine makes more horsepower, it uses more gas. Gas mileage from a V6 engine will be better than a V8, but less than an inline four-cylindar engine.

Is the 3.3 liter engine the same as the 2.7 liter?

(Keep in mind that the 3.3-liter still uses Ford’s six-speed automatic, while the 2.7 receives the new 10-speed.) While the EPA claims the 3.3-liter can’t quite match the fuel consumption of the 2.7-liter, your mileage may very well vary.

What kind of engine does a GM 2.7L have?

The 2.7L Turbo features an aluminum block and cylinder head for reduced mass. GM’s first use of Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) on a four-cylinder engine.

How much horsepower does a Ford 3.7L V6 have?

The British manufacturer Radical Sportscars equips their Radical RXC V6 models (track-only race cars and street-legal road cars) with Ford’s 3.7L V6s.

Which is a better motor 3.7 or 2.7?

A very good motor might be the 2.7, used in the Fusion sport and the Lincoln Continental. A lot more power and should yield 30% better MPG, ie. 23-24mpg instead of 18. That also translates to 30% more range per tank, 520 instead of 400. (I seem to get almost exactly 100 miles per quarter tank on the 3.7 in mixed driving. 20.9 gallon tank)
