I just got an e-mail from Jeff Dungen with the Toyota Levin. The 20 valve engine in his Levin is actually only a 1.6, not a 2.0!

I saw the "20" on his fender and thought it meant 2.0 liter.

Wow, 170 h.p. and 50 mpg is really awesome.

And it all came from driving techniques as his tire pressures were only 34 psi.

Jeff also forwarded me this picture he took of the gas pump reading from Chang's refill after 107.5 miles....
