“2.0-litre engine = two litres of fuel burned per revolution”
How does one get to this
I used to think that the number of exhaust tips determined how fast the car was. More exhaust tips, more speed.
My dad had a dodge neon when I was little, and since it had a little lip spoiler on the back I thought it was a race car😅

I thought there was an extra pedal for reverse that was hidden under the driver’s seat :P
But how ? XD
I thought that you have to use the brake to reverse instead of the gas pedal :D .. I think modern racing games are that way.
When I was young I thought that 16V or 20V or whatever the number is meant the number of cylinders it has, if it has more than one exhaust tip it was extremely fast and if it had a wing on it, it meant it is a racecar….
I used to think that Subarus and Mitsubishis were 4x4
I’ve always wondered why the put exhaust pipe in one side of the back, as it should twist a car a bit, but my logic was, that this twisting motion for low performance cars was so little, that it didn’t matter, and only on high performance cars (Ferraris for example) which are powerfull they put both sides equally because of power :D
a friend of mine thought kph or mph was a measurement of power. Like “the car hase 120mph” and that´s the only number that is relevant how fast a car is overall
I thought all wheel drive meant that all four wheels move with the steering wheel
