I think you misunderstand a great many things DCB.
anything less than 20mpg ADDITIONAL to what I get now and the project is a NON STARTER for me.
let me clarify.
Mini van 21mpg if I try hard
Geo Metro 54mpg average my last two tanks exceeded 60mpg.
I would be willing to LIVE with 40-45mpg if it meant I could drive the minivan.
If I can not get 40-45mpg the project is an AUTO DEAD ON ARRIVAL non starter. I keep driving the geo metro.
is that clear enough for you?
Project. Efficient Minivan. GOALS of project. 40-45mpg with said minivan.
unless your manual trans can get me 30mpg its a no go unless you mean to combine it with something else (hopefully not unicorns)
is that more clear dcb?
NO I will NOT settle for less than 20mpg boost over what I get now because in that case I just SCRUB said project and keep driving the metro.
maybe unlike you I don't have the finances to just start TRYING things to see what happens.
I am financially restricted in that manner so I have to wait till SOMEONE ELSE tries something first because I ONLY GET ONE SHOT AT IT. if I fail the work and money are gone and I don't get a second shot.
hey if you want to bankroll the project I will try ANYTHING YOU DREAM UP.
till then I have to wait. I figured if this was done in the freaking 70's SOMEONE had to have actually tried it besides the article author.
