here is the stats for the model T... 100 year old technology The Model T had a front mounted, 177 |in3 (2.9 L) four-cylinder en bloc motor (that is, all four in one block, as common now, rather than in individual castings, as common then) producing 20.2 hp (15 kW) for a top speed of 40-45 mph (64-72 km/h). The small four cylinder engine was known for its L heads. According to Ford Motor, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13 to 21 mpg (5 to 9 kilometres per litre or 11.1 to 18.7 litres per 100 km).[7] The engine was capable of running on gasoline or ethanol,[8][9] though the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition in the United States made ethanol an impractical fuel.
how far have we advanced in technology in 100 years?!!?!?!? we went faster in speed but barely anywhere in mpg _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
