New Engine Gets 110 Mpg - Videos - WCAU What do you guys think?, looks like a Ford man. Does anybody know this guy.

Don't know him.

I sure hope all of what he said is true, though. By the way, does a 400 horsepower 'stang really 0-60 in 3 seconds? Seems to me like he pulled that number out of his butt.

Did you see the red gen 1 in the background?

Yeah I saw that thats why I'm assuming he's a ford man and somebody on this board might have bumped heads with him. Those numbers seem a way bit off though and if he can fit all that technology and performance into a fox just imagine what he can fit into a L engine bay

whatever!

Yea I agree there. I've heard something like this about 10 years ago, and the guy turned up dead a few days after making his findings public...

That guy is a good B.S.'er...to have the media snowed that easily with absolutely no proof. He's shady at best, anyone remember him on the Corral?

400 hp v8 making 100 mpg? What does it run on, hugs? Unless this car is running down a 100 mile hill, I find this to be impossible to believe.

And the real kicker: if it does work he would have developed it while he worked for Ford and it will end up belonging to them. Ain't life a *****?

Lucky for him he's full of crap. I will say that E-85, as big of a joke as it is, can be made to get better mileage than gas. The only problem is that with 15:1 compression you can't use gas if it's the only thing available. That's where flex fuel vehicles screw you.
