| Medium | 5x5x7 | 1.2 L/min @7RPS | Average |
| Large | 7x7x9 | 2.5 L/min @7RPS | Poor |
| Modular | Variable | 0.8 L/min/cyl @7RPS | Configurable |
| Jet | Variable | 3.0 L/min @full | Very Poor |
Fuel Saving Tips
- Optimal RPM: Most engines run most efficiently between 7-12 RPS
- Gear Ratios: Use proper gear ratios to keep engines in efficient RPM range
- Weight Reduction: Less weight means less engine load and better fuel economy
- Modular Engines: Can be tuned for better efficiency than prefab engines
- Electric Hybrid: Consider using electric motors for low-speed operations
Understanding Fuel Mechanics in Stormworks
Fuel consumption in Stormworks is affected by several factors:
- RPS (Revolutions Per Second): Higher RPS increases fuel consumption non-linearly
- Engine Load: More throttle = more fuel burned
- Engine Type: Larger engines consume more fuel per RPS
- Cooling: Overheating engines become less efficient
- Fuel Type: Diesel is slightly more efficient than jet fuel for piston engines
