I think I can safely say that "WE" are all your side when it comes to being able to own and drive the Hot Rod that you built. But if you want "power adders"? Like a Turbo (or 2) or a supercharger with a four barrel (or 2) then the addidional power comes with a cost! And if you are like me, you will never keep the right foot from pressing to hard!

Can I or anyone say you won't reach 15 mpg? No, not with any certainty.. but I highly doubt you'll reach 15 mpg. Of course that is just a guess and there are many variables like tire sizes and gearing etc. etc. etc..., If you want to drive it daily and achieve the most mpg you can, AND do better mpg than a Hummer? Stay away from the "power adders" at a minimum..

Again, just my point oh two, YMMV, yad yada yada..
