Notes:
(1) The two-stroke
engine does not use driven valves, they are pressure operated directly by
the combustion chamber.
(2) The two-stroke
engine has no oil sump, filter or pump. The oil is mixed with the gas 50:1
(like an outboard engine) for lubrication.
(3) The engine is
air cooled, just like classic air cooled Porsches, and has no coolant, radiator
or water pump.
(4) All test results
are approximate.
(5) Manufacturers
estimates. Many users report far better mileage in actual use.
(6) Entries in parenthesis represent
station wagon (or universal) data.
