All I can say to this is that with only minor tinkering you can get a car to
get between 55-60 mpg (miles/gallon). Take a brand new car (around 20-30mpg
on highway) add SPLIT FIREtm spark plugs (+ 5-10% mpg) add a super chip
designed to get better gas milage (don`t know the company +20-30% (or maybe
that was 20-30 mpg I don`t remember)) any way thats todays cars so imagigne
what happens if you get a new type of fuel (acholhal or petrochem)
