![]() Those with capacities of 1000cc to 1500cc have better mileage figures. Typically, the cars with petrol engines of the best fuel mileage come in the zone of up to 1000cc. The manufacturers keep upgrading the petrol engines and strike a balance between power and mileage to achieve both performance and efficiency. Hence, in that context, the mileage of the car is inversely proportional to the engine capacity in a conventional design. But eventually, this reduces the mileage. As the volume of the cylinders increases, the power output also increases. Supplying more fuel to the engine increases its power and also its fuel consumption. Incidentally, the Chevrolet 9.3L V8 crate engine is one of the largest capacity engines in the world. Hence, in simple words, the power output of an engine is directly proportional to its capacity in a conventional engine design. As the amount of fuel for burning increases, it also increases the power output. ![]() As the volume of the air grows, the fuel system also proportionately increases the corresponding quantity of fuel to the engine. Similarly, an engine with a higher capacity sucks more air into the cylinder. The bigger the drum, more the water it can accumulate and guzzle. Consider that it is just like a drum filled with water. It is the volume, or in other words, the space available inside the cylinder to accommodate air-fuel mixture for burning. The engine’s capacity plays an important role in determining various engine outputs such as engine power, torque, and mileage. How Engine Capacity affects its performance: By the way, the world’s first automotive – the Mercedes-Benz MotorWagen featured a single-cylinder 1.0-liter engine (954cc to be precise) to power it. If the engine has only one cylinder, then that lone cylinder will accommodate all of the 1000cc or 1.0L of air inside it. For example, if a four-cylinder engine has a capacity of 1000cc or 1.0L, that means all the four cylinders can together accommodate a maximum of 1000 cubic centimeters or 1.0L of the volume of air (or the air-fuel mixture) in them. It is the combined capacity for all cylinders of the engine added together while it completes its one cycle. Where, V = Volume, D = Bore Diameter, H = Stroke Length, N = No. ![]() To calculate the volume of an engine you can use the formula- V = π/4 x (D)² x H x N 1000cc = 1000cm³ = 1 Liter = 1.0L Similarly, 800cc = 800cm³ = 0.8 Liter = 0.8L How to measure Engine capacity or Engine Volume: If an engine has a capacity of say 1000cc or 1000 Cubic Centimeters, then the capacity of that engine is 1 Liter. ![]()
