Mon, 12 August 2002 08:45 It's hard to compare rotary engines to piston engines, since only one major manufacturer actually makes rotary engines! Mazda has always used the rotary engine as its performance flagship, so you wouldn't expect it to be tuned for maximum efficiency. If you think of it as a highly-strung 2.6 litre engine, its fuel economy actually looks pretty much normal. As for the advantages of a rotary engine - they're very compact and are capable of awesome power output with relatively minor mods. There are lots of people these days who know how to extract BIG numbers out of a 13B. [Report message to a moderator]
