Well Mazda does make good Wankels and if you run them in their sweet spot they get quite good mpg. Wankels can be tiny and make lots of high speed RPMs, no vibration at all. Maybe they are a good option for a hybrid where it is really running on electrons out the wheels.
It is a hybrid then a small pack makes fine sense. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Sep 8, 2019 at 8:14 PM EVDL Administrator via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > On 8 Sep 2019 at 14:21, brucedp5 via EV wrote: > > > Sound plays a part.
