We had a chance with this car to design fuel economy into almost every part. And we're very pleased with the result.” So how to account for Citation's fucl efficiency? It's a case of the whole being greater than the sum of it's parts,” said Mr. Fleck. It's) almost impossible to assign a given amount of fucl economy improvement to any single feature because doing one thing makes it possible to do something 4 else. os “The ‘Citation is-about 363 kg (800 Ibs.) lighter than the Nova. And that alone ac- counts tor most of the fuel economy improvement. “But we've got an ex- cellent ventilation system in this car, which could mean some buyers may decide they don’t need air con- ditioning, which will save weight and reduce parasitic power losses, which will result in fuel savings. “The engine fan is elec- trically-driven and only runs when the cngine needs cooling. That's a fuel economy feature. The fact the drive train is mounted transversely, or crosswise, means power is transmitted to the wheels somewhat more efficiently, and that saves fuel. fuel economy. ~~ “The tires are especially engineered to reduce rolling resistance. The disc brakes have less drag. “And on top of everything,” added Mr. Fleck, “hundreds of hours of wind-tunnel testing — some of it with engineers working on the car in the tunnel while tests were underway — have produced a car with the lowest acrodynamic drag coefficient — .417 — of any GM car, and that includes the Corvette.” pa EES go EOTTETEE “360 5 Enaiie.
