Any proof; statistics, theories, processes, ect to actually believe this guy? Instead of a picture and a half ass paragraph claiming almost perfection?

I am suspect of any story that begins with "LX Coupes are awesome", but it will certainly be exciting to see what comes of this.

Other variants of this story are floating around, some with him claiming 100+ mpg, so the facts are a little fuzzy yet.  And the story where he claims 0-60 in 3 seconds makes me think something is fishy...

But I am all for it, and look forward to seeing how this works out.

If he used regular gas and scaled back HP I'm sure he would assuming he can get 80 now

I'd like to know what exactly hes done to achieve such MPG.

Sounds to good to be true IMHO.

Stop trolling. If you wouldn't make stupid comments about imports, I wouldn't call you out on your stupid comments about imports.

None of the articles go into any explanation of how he managed to achieve 80 mpg except that he used "electronics". I'm skeptical until he explains how he does it.

Even if it does do 80mpg, you are still stuck with an 87 mustang.

People would do crazy things for an 80 mpg car with these gas prices. Look at the people buying smart cars and scooters to save at the gas pump.
