Four and 1/4 horsepower for every 1 pound of vehicle weight. The car weighs approximately 2,100 pounds without the driver. Engine horsepower varies mostly to the conservative side, but a good figure is 8,800 horsepower hence a 4 to 1 ratio.
In diesel engine fuel to power ratio is 1:50
Air to fuel ratio is the ratio between the weight of air to the weight of fuel, for example: 14.7 pounds of air to 1 pound of fuel would be a air:fuel ratio of 14.7:1 This particular example is called the stoichiometric ratio for gasoline...it's ideal ratio in order to efficiently use all the fuel. This ratio varies for different fuels....for example, ethanol fuels have a stoichiometric air:fuel ratio of 13.85:1. In actuality, a gasoline car gets it's best fuel mileage when the fuel is reduced slightly and produces it's best power when the ratio is a little heavier on the fuel side.

To restore the optimum ratio of fuel (gas) to air. At the optimum ratio, the fuel will burn the most efficiently, and hence giving more power at the wheels (for the same fuel used, or less fuel used for the same power)
A FUEL SYSTEM stores, and supplies fuel to the cylinder chamber where it can be mixed with air (air & fuel ratio) to transmit power
Oil fuel mix ratio is different for different engines, please contact the manufacturer Fuel air mixture is the same @ 17 to 1 by weight.
