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.

What is the fuel to power ratio in diesel engines?
In diesel engine fuel to power ratio is 1:50
What is fuel air ratio?
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.
