One more claim.
No more proof.

Every year some one makes that claim but no one ever proves it, I have personaly heard that same claim for 30 years.

Only time will tell.

I'd rather have 100hp w/200mpg.

I'm with rookie, I'll believe it when I see it.

Proof

Please be prepared to bring documented, repeatable, scientific, unbiased, peer reviewed proof before you post miracles on this forum.

Isn't the internet wonderful?

Call Ford, they need all the help they can get!

Anyone have a Chevrolet miracle because they are also on the ropes?

Anyone want to hear about my Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower that runs on popcorn? I actually got the idea from Orville Redenbacher! This is a top secret project so do not tell a soul.

10 or so years back I think it was in a Car Craft magazine. There was a GN that got over 40 mpg and ran 13.2 in the 1/4.
I live in SE MI. Almost everyone in the auto business has heard of the 100mpg Jack Roush van myth.
I allway's say. " If it's to good to be true it usually is".

Repeatable, scientific and miracles in the same sentence, doesn’t that constitute a hate crime or something?

I thought GM had a hybrid or flex fuel printing press that they call the FED, or something like that, that runs on regular old taxpayers money.

The story says,
(Ford will launch a new hybrid version of the F150 in 2008 that will have a 400% improvement in fuel economy over the standard gasoline F150.)

It's 2008 has anyone heard anything about the truck are the " Hydraulic Hybrid Techology" used in production?
