Hi Ken, excellent work.
Specs as can be found on your site.

I believe it could do 244mpg on a closed circuit, at low speed, no suspension, no generator, oversized tires on high pressure, engine insulation, gearbox insulation, heavy P&G, etc.
That plus the car was already very light to begin with.

My car has none of that and can do 70 mpg or better in warm weather, driven at a constant pace of 35 mph. It must be over 3 times as heavy as the little Fiat. I have no doubt whatsoever that the Fiat could do 244 mpg.
