Should I punch a hole in my engine?
 

Years ago when I worked at Sony Pictures, I met this guy who drove a Toyota Yaris sedan. He had a long commute and needed extra high mpg so he punched a hole in the engine somewhere and was getting 50 mpg or something with a Yaris. He said the car lost power (and they only have a little engine in the first place) but that the mpg was worth it. Where exactly would he have punched a hole? And would that not be recommended in terms of getting dirt in the engine?

Thanks!

P.S. I probably won't do this, but I am intrigued. :D

i'm intrigued too!! :confused:

Someone is playing a joke.

that car could get 50mpg by hypermileing.

I'm over 50 and wasn't sure if 'MAYBE" i was missing out on some 'new slang'......:cool:

Only things that "make sense" would be putting holes in the airbox ahead of the filter (guys do it and think that it helps even though it doesn't) and/or punching bigger holes in the cat and/or muffler, which not only don't help, but that's a pretty new car to be screwing up in that manner. I think the guy was pulling your leg.

I hear if you punch speed holes in the hood of a car it makes it go faster.
