Hi Troy,

The other example of a very high MPG diesel is the Avion; elsewhere in these pages. He got 119MPG. The only diesel that gets better than that that I have heard of, is the latest VW 1L car, with it's electrical assist, ultra-light weight, and amazing low Cd. You'll need to model yours on the VW, I think?

Video of CarBŒN Mk 2.6:

New images showing reworked windshield, revised hinged front wheel skirts with their "half-hourglass openings on the underside, revised inside firewall area, and a few other tweaks...
