Why do RWD cars have shit gas mileage? I can't find one

>>15998883
Because rwd costs more and is considered a luxury so rwd cars usually have bigger engines and more power. Even with 100% like for like engine and power rwd would weigh slightly more.

Hell my Turbo Coupe got 30 on the highway if you kept out of the boost.

What about city driving, what's the gas mileage on it? Manual or auto?

What the fuck is the point of an efficient RWD? If gas mileage is your main concern, buy some FWD CVT 4banger shitbox. Fuck. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

miatas are cheap and have small engines and not much power but their gas mileage is generally pretty mediocre (i think the ND is ok though)

>>15998933
it's not my main concern but i wouldn't say no to a more efficient version of my car if there was one

So why did you buy a RWD car?

>>15998933
>thinking RWD is only for sports cars and premium
found your problem, your mindset is the reason why we don't get any decent economy cars anymore

my dd is an rwd station wagon despite being not sporty nor luxury - it's just from the early 80s. I miss those days. Unfortunately mine gets shit gas mileage because it has a 22r, otherwise it would be perfect for OP.

>>15998982
I'll take that bait.

>decent economy cars
Pretty sure a prius could outpace most old RWD 'economy' cars, not to mention the brz. Stop being a fucking shitposter.

>>15998997
what are you even going on about? fast =/= fun to drive. The old rwd economy cars like I have can be very fun to drive despite being slow as dicks vs a prius.

Objectively false

Because you are a scrub.

>>15998883
Well, RWD does take a bit of a ding on mileage due to having to deal with that additional bit of rotating mass called the driveshaft...

>>15998883
Because they;re either american shit, or german landbarges.

>>15999092
Yes, because Japan still makes sub 1500 kg RWD cars that comply with stringent north america crash standards...

Fucking this whole fucking thread I mean fuck...

>>15998981
because i decided that the advantages of RWD outweighed the drawbacks for my usage

>>15999128
What advantages?

>>15998883
Every single BMW Diesel gets at least 35mpg even if you drive like a mongrel. Most petrol can get you 40~ if you know how to drive.

>>15998933
Actually it shows the engineering perspective .
A 5000 pound Escalade gets roughly the same mpg as a 3000 pound STI that has literally half the power

bragging rights on /o/

V6 Mustang, 305hp and 30mpg

2000 BMW 528i, average 32mpg on road trips. Try harder
