The trip took 70 minutes, [5] and he completed the drive on an estimated 13 US gal (49 L; 11 imp gal) of gasoline, a little more than half the total capacity of the Water Car's 25 gallon tank. March was not the first to drive an amphibious car to an island; the first was Howard Singer of La Jolla who on Aug. 19, 1978, became the first person to ...
The name Amphicar is a portmanteau of "amphibious" and "car." A spiritual descendant of the Volkswagen Schwimmwagen , [ 3 ] and the Trippel SG6 , the Amphicar offered only modest performance compared to most contemporary boats or cars, featured navigation lights and flag as mandated by the US Coast Guard – and after operation in water ...
Those on the K70 included a fuel tank mounted directly ahead of the rear axle and boot/trunk, within the wheelbase. [2] As publicity for the Mercedes-Benz S Class would stress when that car was launched in 1972, this was the least vulnerable position in terms of the risk of the fuel tank being punctured in the event of a crash.
A DOT-111 tank car, specification 111A100W1, constructed by fusion welding carbon steel.This car has a capacity of 30,110 US gallons (113,979 L; 25,071.8 imp gal), a test pressure of 100 psi (690 kPa), a tare weight of 65,000 pounds (29,500 kg) and a load limit of 198,000 pounds (89,800 kg).
The proposed design and final content for two options of the new sticker label that would be introduced in 2013 model year cars and trucks were consulted for 60 days with the public in 2010, and both include miles per gallon equivalent and kWh per 100 miles as the fuel economy metrics for plug-in cars, but in one option MPGe and annual ...
The mean effective pressure (MEP) is a useful comparison tool, giving the average cylinder pressure exerted on the piston. Petrol engine (naturally aspirated) – MEP 1.67 MPa (16.7 bar), 132.6 N⋅m (98 lbf⋅ft) per litre – 2019 BAC Mono R 330 N⋅m (243 lbf⋅ft)
The Crosley car's chassis had an 80-inch (2,032 mm) wheelbase and used beam axles with leaf-springs (half-elliptic springs in front, and quarter-elliptic springs in the rear). Under the hood, a 4 US gal (15 L) gravity-fed fuel-tank mounted above the motor made it possible for the car to operate without a fuel pump. [10]
The following table compares EPA's estimated out-of-pocket fuel costs and fuel economy ratings of serial production plug-in hybrid electric vehicles rated by EPA as of January 2017 expressed in miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mpg-e), [1] [2] versus the most fuel efficient gasoline-electric hybrid car, the 2016 Toyota Prius Eco (fourth generation), rated 56 mpg ‑US (4.2 L/100 km; 67 mpg ...
