An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    Actually, piston engines are really bad a torque. It’s why they need a flywheel or a large amount of pistons.

      Steam engines are ‘piston engines’ and they are pretty torquey, even at low rpm.
