Is there an optimal amount of gas for a 5.9 liter Dodge ram? At 70 MPH, would it run as efficiently using the same 1 liters/min running at around 1500 rpm - as would my Mazda B2300 running at 3000 rpm?
Actually, I run a 5.9 liter Ram. My output is ~1.5 LPM. I have noticed an increase of 7 MPG. I believe 2LPM would be better, but your going to need more than one Generator to accomplish that. Most people actually create less than 1LPM and still see gains. In a small unit 1LPM is easily done, but not easily sustainable for any length of time.
