Re: Displacement vs Forced Induction/ v8/12 vs 4 cyl said by JukeBoxHero:But the 4 cylinder motors will get better gas mileage. That's important as the price of gas rises. Of course they will. They're smaller displacement for the most part. But better mileage isn't smoother, is it? That was my only point. 
Personally, I don't mind the mileage hit that my larger, smoother engine gives me. And even at $5 a gallon or more, it's worth it to me to have a far less stressed (or at least less-revved  ) engine when cruising at 75 MPH.
And note that I'm not saying one is better than the other. I simply have a preference for larger engines with at least 8 cylinders than smaller forced induction engines with 4 cylinders. |
