50mpg doesn't sound like much today for that small of an engine. I remember some Geo Metros getting mid 50's mpg in the 90's without any trickery. Even the Honda Insight seemed to get better than 50 mpg if driven right. Wonder what this process could do today with the current technology.
I thought he had it in a Fiero?
