Now, why does the 4V result in better mileage? In the lower-to-mid revs the AF mix intake being lesser than that in a 2V, this would result in better FE.
Is it really the velocity the reason for a low torque in initial RPM's??!! My understanding is velocity should not differ much for a 4-valve.

And how is it that the AirFuel intake is lesser in a 4-valve?

Sorry if the question is noob!
