Link is not working for some reason.

I think the Avion might be a bit small, cool car though.

I like the idea of doing what you and others did with existing equipment.

Hey, what can I say, I'm addicted to diesel and completely incureable.

Add a dotcom to the end of the url to see the page. The car reminds me of a futuristic General Lee.

The TDI swapped Saturn on here is in the 60s, IIRC, and he's not done with the aeromods. I don't think it's got a tail, either.

Well, my best is 67mpg, but it takes few tanks to get a true trend, also I have still some mods to be made and old ones need improving too.

With bit more mods, I think that I could beat that 70mpg, but I doubt that 100mpg will be possible at all, not with this motor, more modern HDi motor would drink lot less and with that 100mpg would be possible, but with our laws such swap would be really a PITA, also car is going to be scrapped in a year as bodyshell is rusted and gearbox is shot.

With such great mods as there are in aerocivic, it should be possible to get lot better FE as my mods are not too great quality in aero terms, so there is room for improvement, I have not beaten even 70mpg and I have quite lot of visible mods.

Quite a few VW Lupo 3L / Audi A2 3L have done better than Mike's current 70mpg 90-day average.

Overview: Volkswagen - Lupo 3L - Spritmonitor.de
The entire first page of results, beat 70mpg average !

Best result of someone on that list, is a record tank of 2.32 L/100km - that's 101.4 mpg (US) over 500 miles.

The best lifetime average is 90mpg !

Similar results with the Audi A2 3L and an even better record tank :
Overview: Audi - A2 3L - Spritmonitor.de

Best tank : 2.26L/100km over 500 miles, or 104mpg (US).

I guess if we could get the good stuff like you guys overseas, it'd make my job a lot easier. Is it possible to get the 1.2 TDI engine imported into the States?
