AE86 Regular Location: Face down in a ditch Registered: May 2002	Re: Fuel Efficiency Between Rotaries and Pistons ..???... Tue, 20 August 2002 03:53 I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth into the thread because I've owned a couple of Rotaries. First of all, the biggest consideration is not the juice they chew, but when they break, you are up for alot of money to get them fixed. Destroy one apex seal and you are up for a $2k+ rebuild. That said, if you use top quality oil, warm the car up completely and let it warm down after being thrashed, you should have no problems. Dunno if this was mentioned, but the reason they use more petrol when thrashed is because for each turn of the crank (eccentric shaft), they make 6 power strokes. As I'm sure you know a 4 stroke motor only makes 2 power strokes for each turn of the crank. [Report message to a moderator]
