110 MPG Mustang!

This is FAKE. How could this be??? Beating my scooter. LOL.

110 mpg maybe. 500? Come on. Some other energy/drive source would have to be being used along side the I.C.E. At least he is going for the X-prize where they can research and verify it in order to win it.

ya isnt the winner just have to get a car to 100mpg and they get like 1million or something?

This story still sounds like BS to me. Hard to believe that some Mustang smuck found a way to quadruple the gas mileage in a car. Something hundreds of engineers at all the auto companies couldn't figure out. Where is the BS flag.

The Xprize is supposed to give out 10million to the winner.

When it runs out of power from the dylithium crystals it only get 18mpg.
The BS flag is flying half mast for this one. Of course what do I know it might get 210mpg.

He said he redesinged the engine using a desing his father came up with 60 years ago. I am sure if this is real the engine looks nothing like a stock mustange engine, I've searched and it seems alot of people get high milage using a diesel hybrid engine with a turbo.
here is the news story for the mustang http://video.wnbc.com/player/?id=271843

There you go, proof it is possible Guinness World Record for fuel economy at 103.7 mpg! And I believe it was done 23years ago, think what we could do today.

The guy did this with using E85 as well. Just to shoot that one out there. Thanks for finding the video for me bertrenolds5 i was looking for it but not terribly hard lol.

well after reading the xprize conditions, (which the mustang if true should fall into all catagories) i guess they just dont want a check for 10 million

Obviously engineers at auto companies are not smart enough or maybe they don't actually wan't to make a more efficient vehicle that doesn't in some way make up for money lost on oil savings. Think about it, if everyone uses less oil, then oil is not so profitable unless your make money other ways, EG, electric batteries or fuel cells. Just wait, when they make production cars that get 80-100mpg gas will jump to $25 a gallon to make up for lost profit. Big oil doesn't want economical vehicles and to keep it that way they have most of or government officials in their pocket. Why then would regan roll back the CAFE standard 27.5mpg from 1986-1989, answer: the price of oil was low and greedy oil companies that controled regan had him do it to increase profit. Sh*t, I bet if we didn't have lobbyist interfearing with our govt. we would probably have 100mpg cars by now, if not more fuel efficient cars!


No prob, dragonov elite:)
