I cannot wait to see your MPG read outs and I also think Frank Lee is the biggest downer of all downers and would like to see him build something better...
Playing with numbers can be fun and motivational.Using the aerodynamic,rolling resistance,power and mpg calculator @ a 27% engine efficiency level the Zoleco could get 94.31 mpg us @65mph.This is without any energy recapture efforts at all.If by pure genious i could get that little 3 cyl. to achieve an unheard of 57.5% efficiecy level the Zoleco could get 200.85 mpg us @65mph.That i feel is a wonderful goal to shoot for.Only time and reality will tell us what can be achieved.Exciting to ponder though!
