80mpg 400hp Fox Body 'Stang

[Slash]

I never thought that 400 horses and 80mpg could go together. Article is pretty old, from 2008, but still interesting.

There's nothing interesting about it. The guy is a whackjob that doesn't actually say anything at all and does nothing to back up his claims.

But it's got more electronics in it!

I like how he considers 400 hp to be for "real world uses".

Also mothballs.

Is that one of those things where it goes 60 miles on a battery and another 20 on a gallon of gas, therefore 80MPGS!!! ZOMG?

E85 burns hotter than gasoline according to that article. Interesting.

The wording is really awful. I've gotten into it with that type of wording with other people too. They just mean that the octane is higher and is much less resistant to early detonation. The other one I've heard was 'burns later.'
