How much LPM would give a modest to moderate boost to MPG on a 3.0 litre ford taurus?

Does anyone have any idea?

It gets about 26 mpg now.

We have built a 350 ml per minute unit for a motorcycle and I am just wondering what it will take to help the ford.

Thanks,

very difficult to say. we can not even compare same engine capacity on different engine's model :)

but, why not use that one that you already got on that motorcycle and give it a try ? 350ml / minute its a good start point :)

thanks

1lpm is a good benchmark. Build for at least 1lpm at go from there.

.5 liters per min. per liter of engine size seems to be the average answer I have been getting the forums I have asked the same question too.

that's really great news for me because my engine only has 1.2 L :)

getting 1 L / Minute could be interesting on my car :)

thanks
