A scrap engine does not hold its gear. Its torque drifts between 0.6× and 1× on a 2-second cycle and drops to nothing while idle, so it is not a quiet version of a levelled engine.

Work per unit of fuel
3,000

A relative figure for comparing tiers. It answers how much further one canister goes after an upgrade and nothing else.

A gas engine gear sets torque while the top speed stays the same.

Holding sprint in a driver's seat briefly selects the next gear up.
