Hello

Torque curve page 6

http://www.subaru.fr/special/pdf/doc...esel_lo_08.pdf


Holy crap! That thing has the peak torque, and it is almost a level line,
from about 1600 rpm to about 2400 rpm!

That sucker should really pull a big prop, and well!

Is the price of diesel fuel 25% above gasoline prices everywhere?
Jet A costs the same as 100LL now also, so what is the benefit?



The only benefits are slightly lower fuel burn (in pounds per hour -
sig ificantly more difference in gallons per hour) and less liklihood
of not being able to get correct fuelin the mid-long term.
Jet A will be around for a while. 100LL has a limited lifespan, and
non-aviation gasoline is always a moving target.
