A higher-cc engine is more powerful than a lower-cc engine, but it goes relatively less distance on the same amount of fuel. So what is the extra energy used for? Why do we buy more CC cars?
We often have trouble with the cc of the engine. I can’t understand what is meant by this, what is the benefit of buying a car with more cc, various questions like that.
Actually cc simply means cubic centimeter. You understand that it refers to the volume of something.
The question is: What does the volume mean to us here!? Answer: By this, we mean the total volume inside the engine cylinder.
This number (cc) represents the total amount of empty space inside the cylinders, as many cylinders as your engine has.
Into this volume inside the cylinder, fuel and air enter, which in turn gives the engine speed and work power by increasing the heat, pressure, and volume of the combustion process.
The more charge (mixture of steam and fuel) is combusted, the more energy is produced. That is, the working capacity of the engine and the car will increase.
So understand that more CC means more power of that car or engine because it consumes more fuel per stroke.
Another conundrum remains: we all know that a car with more cc needs more fuel to cover the same distance. There is also a reason for this.
The reason is that both the low-cc engine and the high-cc engine have to cover the same distance and complete the same number of strokes since both engines are turning at the same rpm and you are driving both cars at the same speed.
(If you drive the higher-cc car faster, then the result will be slightly in your favor, i.e., the fuel consumption will be about the same, maybe less depending on the car.).
That is why both engines have to consume fuel with every stroke.
So it is easy to understand that since a higher cc engine consumes more fuel per stroke, ultimately the fuel consumption is higher. That’s why it takes more fuel to cover the same distance.
Now come to the last question: if a bigger cc engine means more fuel consumption, then why do we buy this car?
Reasonable enough question. Yes, you don’t need a high-cc car if you can get the job done with that low-cc. A low-cc car is better for you. But if your vehicle has to carry a considerable load or moves very fast,

If you can’t do that with a low-cc car, then you have to buy a higher-cc car. Here is a simple example of this
A 10–12-year-old boy and a 25–30-year-old youth can both be asked to throw a hammer at someone 100 meters away. But when you need to bring something weighing 15-20 kg, don’t forget to tell the kid. Because you know it can’t be done by him.
And also know that you are wasting the remaining energy of youth while carrying the hammer. The same would be true if you use a higher cc vehicle for a job that can be done with a lower cc.
