Looks like he was averaging 42 mpg out of it before he sold it. It should be noted that it did have a totally different engine from an Acura, but he did do aero mods to the body. And I believe most of it was documented somewhere here on the forums.
Thanks. I've looked at a few Del Sol builds. The common theme is the need for aero mods to really make it worthwhile. 42 mpg from a performance engine is impressive.

If my situation was different, that would be the way to go. However, my commute is 100 miles round trip and from what I have seen from other DIY EV builds, that kind of range is hard to achieve.
