How does gas mileage depend on the engine, size and weight of the vehicle
In our paper, we are determining if gas mileage depend on the engine of the a vehicle. It is relative that the gas consumption depend on the size of the engine. If the engine is bigger will consume more than smaller engines. In this project we going to evaluate how bigger (Tundra) engines compare with smaller ones (Tacoma) (i.e. V8 fuel consuming versus V6 fuel consuming). It is other variables like weight, mass, etc. that could having an effect on the gas millage. Other variable would be the use of the vehicle, the worst and harsh are the conditions, the gas millage will be affected. We will be focused in the size of the engine and how just this variable affect the gas millage and at the end and most important our pocket as consumers.
