v8 hypermiling. nice.

After all the babble of what one can claim to be techly evolution...

the rear gear ratio said it all.

the 30s is quite amazing...it must have a tall transmission to go with it.

take it back to the dawn of v8s, and slap in the same ratios, imperfect oil, bad gas, leaky carbs on a tight downdraft...

it would be right there with the same freakin numbers, and even better because of realtime function.

do not focus on the car brand in other words, as some superhero.

step one into hypermiling...
