The dictionary,   "The ratio of the effective or useful output to the total input of any system."

Was just wondering, since this is a much used topic, what the Efficiency of an engine is and how exactly this fits in with the idea of a motor vehicle.

I know the imports are better off than domestics but by how much?
If you have an efficient motor is it high in Hp and Torque, or just one versus the other?
What about fuel efficiencies?
Can you tune in one of these attributes(HP,torque,Gas) even more?  purpose building for efficiency in one area.
What is the mathematical equation for efficiency?

I wan't to get some insight into the arguments that go on covering these subjects.  V-8 rx-7, Corvettes, Ka-Sr, and such.  Anyone got some info?
