I don't want to get to technical in the general discussion forum. But if it's not a rotor is not a motor to me. I have said this before and I'll say it again. The world goes round and round not up an down. We live in a rotary solar system. What goes around comes around............ We could argue all day it's all up to preference..
Round and round.. What goes around comes around... I tell ya why..
Was that RATT or some ****?

As far as being better on gas? My 88 GXL got better gas milage than my 91 Sable does (about the same size tank), and my 84 GS gets better milage than either. With my GXL I got close to 270-300 to the tank and with my Sable I'm lucky to break the 200 mile mark

well how much contact between metals is there between pistons and rotaries. err, or how many pistons would have to be in the engine, on average, to be the same as a rotaries?
