This is Chan Tchen and Jeffrey Dungen in Jeff's 1992 Toyota Levin GT-Apex. Jeff's on the right, because this is a right hand drive car. This is the JDM spec "Corolla" I spoke about earlier in this thread.


The Levin's 2.0 liter engine sports 5 valves per cylinder, individual throttle bodies, and is rated at 170 h.p. We were all very impressed to see it return 50.95 mpg! You've got to love Toyotas.


Because of the lack of a motorcycle class at this event, Ernie Yue brought out his 2001 Ford Focus automatic and got 40.88 mpg. He ice races this car in the winter.


Tom Compoli brought out his VW Rabbit winter ice racing car. Tommy's carbureted Rabbit returned 34.90 mpg. Richard Vedder's 2.0 liter ZX2 S/R netted 51.20 mpg.


This is my 1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R. This is Nissan's 2.0 liter "hot rod" Sentra that I use for winter rallies and ice racing. I've never hypermiled it before and was really delighted with it's 60.73 mpg debut today. The only mods are 2" drop springs, partial lower grill block, taped wheels, with lots of EOC and P&G.


And last but certainly not least, we owe a big thank you to our event co-organizer, Mark Long. Mark is the brains behind the operation. He writes the Excel spreadsheets and keeps track of all raw data. He brings his 110V power inverter and powers up his color printer and other things with it. Quite a nice operation. Thanks Mark!
