FOG

a geo metro with 5sp and 10g engine
mid fortys to low 50 + mpg
frugal-ness and class
and
an audi A4 quattro with AEB engine 34mpg highway around 60mph w AC on
faster than a runaway camel with his hump on fire

one of each
to be used as needed depending on need at the time

:gp
:hmm Catch 22, eh.

The Filthy Beast started as a rescue, then a restore, add some flair and bling, great MPG then it needed a little HP. :rocker
A little HP that doesn't hurt my MPG too much. ;)

So... a non-committal little of both. B-)

Could go Urban and say Multi Player Game :gamerz and Holiday Pay. :banana

Uh, buying a new car isn't really what i'm looking to do. I mean, I guess I could, but it's not what I want to do.

Got 70 MPG?

Machine the head and block for higher compression, get an eco cam with a +10 cam gear, Maybe P&P the head some as well, and call it quits. You should be satisfied. If you're not, then you need to consider a motor with more capabilities.

Fiscally, it's not worth it to do much more than this to the motor to get HP out of it. If you do more to the motor to get more MPG's, well, that's something else...
