That is just plain nuts. !!

10 MPG on a little 4cly. Now I was going to start a complete new thread but If I may Just Hijack this one. I am Researching and developing a intake and carb system that could potentially get 40 mpg, on a similiar displacement engine,

Or When Wheeling and off roading I like to go by amount per hour,

Now I have in years past Taken this intake system and retro fit a passenger car and increased the fuel mileage by 10 MPG, With a few re designs I hope to fair better this go around

Now From Talking with the folks running propane that seems to be the way to go as well. Unless it is exagerrated sounds like propane systems on these little 4 banngers is quite a improvement in fuel consumption.

So Stay tuned for pictures, I have almost completed the task of obtaining all the parts and have the Vehicle stripped down and ready for the installation

I have named this Project "Nadir" the lowest possible point, opposite of Zenith, the type of updraft carb I like to work with.

But 10 MPG in a 4 Cly is disgustingly pathetic
