Thread: 92 mpg and 0-60 in under 5 sec

Tweet

Nothing new there. Right up there with the "top secret" carburator that makes a car get 60 MPG, let's see, story has it GM bought the patent..... Just another scam. If it were that easy, Gale Banks, Kinsler, Gaerte, Hillborn, Enderle or any of the high tech fuel injection/turbocharging technology companies with rooms full of engineers would have had it on the market years ago...

I suppose the conspiracy theory crowd will buy into the plan... Not me. Though I did manage to buy a few more shares in one of the local ethenol plants....

Well believe it or not ,its a real car and the stats currently posted are on the pixie dust vapor It only gets 70 miles to the gallon on the stock turbo 1.5 honda engine.

If this is conspiracy they are setting themselves up for mega shame and will never bother the world again.
I think they were smart and hid it untill now,I know I would not have told the world untill it was ready to drive.

Its been at SEMA,probably hid in the back from the crowd,two guys garage,countless other publications and is going to compete in the worlds most effecient production car contest,after all the aftermarkett has surpased this already and is not allowed to compete in the competition.

The investment oppertunity is on the fuel vapor pixie dust technology,not the actuall car itself.Its set to do a limited run untill 2012 ,then supposedly goes into full production,unless something happens between now and then.
Only problem I see is thats its a one seater, and has not been approved in the us.
They are using almost all production parts for other cars,so reliability in that area is covered.Right now weight ,areodynamics and engine size is whats giving it the fuel effeciency,not the pixie dust.
They have driven the snot out of it and everyones happy soo far,1.7 gs in the corner on stock street tires sounds good to me,12.9 in the 1/4 even.I am sure once one begins to romp it hard the gas mileage goes wayyyyyyy down from the 70 mpg,probably more like 20 mpg unless on flat ground at 55 mph with pixie dust injected to get the 92mpg.

I did a little research on the tax we (here in Michigan) pay per gallon based on the current average of $.3.69 per gallon.

State Sales Tax = $ .21
State Fuel Tax = $ .352
State Environmental Regulation Fee = $ .875
So, it is safe to say that for each gallon of gas, we are actually funding the State $1.437 in taxes - that is 39% of our gas prices!
