Injector Flow Rate And The Wangan Run

[rtune]

If you have 700cc injectors operating at 80% duty cycle, does that mean you empty your entire typical skyline petrol tank in about 14 minutes?

So if you drove at maximum speed, say, 200 mph, for 14 minutes, you'd cover about 50 miles.

Your petrol consumption for this hypothetical run would therefore be about 4 mpg ?

So those guys who used to drive the wangan run in 1000hp cars only had to concentrate for, at most, 10 minutes at a time?

Since the Veyron has 16 cylinders, and empties its 100L tank in 12 minutes @ 250 mph, each of its cylinders needs only the direct injection equivalent of a ~400cc injector, however its mpg would be about 2.

These things I was thinking on a bus ride today.

I had that on a number plate for a while (not in australia). "GEEK". But I think I barely qualify.

People @ a red light would ask if I worked for "geek squad" (kind of a dotcom mobile PC repair outfit) and ask if I'm available to fix their broken PC. Sigh.
