Re: Transit updates from SMB?
I get that, but everything else being equal we all want improved fuel economy.
One of the least expensive ways to reduce fuel consumption is to reduce engine displacement (to a point). Otherwise, in my opinion, the new Transit would likely have a 6.8L V10 or similar instead of a base engine nearly half that size. The new goal seems to be getting more power and torque out of smaller engines so driving experience is not compromised too much. I think that's what Eco-Boost tries to do. But it comes at a cost, and the question was whether it would save enough to pay for itself.
