Where do rotary engines fit in? And what's best, W16, V16, or H16?
Rotary engines typically burn massive volumes of oil, so I'd say they slot between I4 and 3 cylinders. The 16 cylinder engines can all be ranked similarly since I don't know which configuration works best. I listed W16 since it would seem to be, essentially, two V8s.
