Generally an engine is most efficient in terms of power produced versus rate of fuel consumption, but this amount of power well exceeds the power involved for best fuel milage, which is distance covered versus rate of fuel consumption. Generally this occurs at relatively low rpms in a tall gear in a car, at a relatively low power output.karabiner98k said:

The relationship between engine torque and MPG is complex, as there are many other factors that also influence fuel efficiency. Generally, a higher engine torque can lead to lower MPG because it requires more fuel to produce more power. However, a more efficient engine can balance this by using the fuel more effectively, resulting in higher MPG despite higher torque.
No, there is not a direct correlation between MPG and engine torque. As mentioned before, there are many other factors that can influence fuel efficiency, such as vehicle weight, aerodynamics, and driving habits. A vehicle with a high engine torque may still have good MPG if it is designed to be efficient in other areas.
Yes, a high torque engine can still have good MPG if it is designed to be efficient in other areas. For example, a hybrid vehicle may have a high torque engine but also have a battery and electric motor to assist with power and improve fuel efficiency. Additionally, advancements in engine technology and fuel injection systems have made it possible for engines to be more powerful and efficient at the same time.
There are a few ways to improve MPG in a high torque engine vehicle. One way is to maintain proper maintenance and regularly tune-up the engine to ensure it is running at its best. Another way is to practice good driving habits, such as avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking, and maintaining a steady speed on the highway. Additionally, using high-quality fuel and keeping tires properly inflated can also help improve MPG.
Yes, the type of fuel can affect the relationship between MPG and engine torque. For example, a vehicle that requires premium fuel may have a higher torque but also have better MPG compared to a vehicle that uses regular fuel. This is because premium fuel has a higher octane rating, allowing the engine to produce more power with less fuel. However, using premium fuel may not always result in better MPG if the engine is not designed to take full advantage of its benefits.
