I hadn't thought of using a tractor engine. I'd probably have to get a custom adaptor plate, but that really might be something to consider.

Clev - According to the Aerocivic website,

In the summer on a level road the new engine gets 100 mpg at a steady 60 mph and 120 mpg at 40 mph.
And that's with the lean burn engine. I know there's a lot of differences between a new Honda engine and a VW bug engine, but hopefully the VW engine with a two cylinder fuel cutoff would work closely to the Honda engine.
