It gets an average of 70 mpg at freeway speed. (70 mph)
The 166 rating was apparently a one-time thing. He was headed to the Tac race and he was able to coast further than five miles. Of course, that skewed the overall numbers, but he was happy to claim it A statement he made was misquoted and that's where the confusion came from.
Right now, he's working on a Jeep Cherokee and he isn't very interested in talking about the Geo. It's been resigned to a position of low-cost, long-distance transportation.
I have a brief video of the inside workings that my wife filmed. I am trying to get her to upload it to Youtube. Basically, he has a couple multimeters and some gauges hooked up to the thing. It looks an awful lot like an old circuit testers setup, but that makes sense. Gene worked for Collins Radio for years, then for Rockwell when they bought them out.
I will post a link when we get the pix and video uploaded.
