There are tens of thousands of small high performance engines produced in America every year, if only one could get investors to fund getting them into suitable platforms, 70mpg could be common. My X-Car plan uses two 10 HP Mercury outboard powerheads, upgraded to 15 HP each. They are neat little engines, OHC, Pentroof combustion chambers, forged crank,electronic ignition,easily modified to variable cam timing, and light at about 40 lbs. They come in 2,3,4,v-4,v-6 configurations, from 5HP to 300HP.
