Ford is developing a new "Hydraulic Hybrid" system that is 300 percent more efficient than the system used in the Toyota's Prius

I was getting 30mpg last time I checked (on the way to SCN). Now that I've made the switch to E85 and a reflashed ecu(and still using utec), we'll see how things are.

BTW, my car has never felt/launched better than since I put E85 in

Did you have to replace much of the fuel system for that? I've been pondering switching myself, if I can find large enough injectors.

I didn't change anything in the fuel system. Theres a debate over whether you need to get rid of all the rubber pieces in the fuel system or not since ethanol can break down the rubber and cause it to flake off, but in reading about other subie owners that are running E85 w/ no changes for a couple of years with no problems, I'd say that I'm willing to try w/o making any changes for a while.

I get 30mpg in vtec all day long.

Infact I don't know if I ever left vtec since I got it.:drunken_smilie:

My Honda makes more tq than hp. Seriously.

[ticklemedaly]

24 town, 34 highway 2.0L 200whp, 150tq.......and all the comfort of driving in leather too

P.S. Yes, it is a low torqu 4banger, but the light weightness of it makes up for it. Just ask Shane on his lotus on how the light weight makes his car handle;)

That always happens to me. Fack:icon_shaking:

nah, what this thread turned into = gay. The origin was quite humorous

What about the idea of a Carburated V-8 making over 40mpg.
Sad to say it has happened before most on this site were born.

Discuss.
