CO2 reduction 5.0 DI + 10Spd

[Double]

With the "rumors" going around for the 2018 Mustang 5.0 getting DI and a 10 Spd option I am curious to know what this would do for the CO2 emissions.

Currently the Ecoboost is rated at:
MT: 179
AT: 225

And the GT:
MT: 299
AT: 281

The 2016 Camaro 6.2 with 8 Spd gets 252. Is this a number the Mustang can beat or is the 5.0 type of engine not capable of a number below 252 ?

What's an estimate of what these changes could mean for the CO2 emissions for the Ecoboost and the GT ?

Its not a bizarre question when you consider where the OP lives.........and it's a country that has horrendous taxes based on C02 output. The 10-speed auto, if it greatly reduces C02 output, which it very well might, could save him thousands!!!

Think it's a very good question and would be interested to know too.

I think the Camaro benefits from cylinder deactivation to get the better score. At least with the Automatic transmission.

the camaro is effectively a 4 cylinder while highway cruising, what i want to know is why the ecoboost is worse as an auto

CO emissions? I thought CO stood for competition orange.

Obviously the trade off of going DI is the high NOx content of the exhaust. DI engines also need Urea injection like diesels but no one seems to care about that

Cut it out with the offensive comments, please.

Exactly, going from the Ecoboost MT to the Ecoboost A6 will cost an extra 24k, this A10 option could actually make it cheaper to go from the MT to the A10 by a couple grand even.

My DI engine doesn't use UI, where did you get that info?

No they don't.

Where did you get that from?

I'm not saying these specific engines take ui I mean di engines as a whole would benefit from urea injection to truly be environmentally friendly.

 

[69mach1-395]

^ name the ones that do UI.
Really if the EPA wanted it, it would happen, regardless of total system effectiveness. Don't give them any more ideas please.

The 5.0 may not be able to pull that off, though the 10-speed should improve the efficiency quite a bit. I doubt it would be able to beat the Ecoboost in this category.

It's seeing posts like these that makes me glad we haven't adopted policies like this in the states......yet.
