Response to Ponder this. The negative side of an Otto-cycle engine is that it pulls vacuum

Closed course, professional driver, don't try this at home... besides the statute of limitations has limitations... right?

Bakersfield to Las Vegas in two hours (including stop at In&Out Burger), 31.5 miles per imperial gallon (20% bigger than US gallon). At RPM's above 4000 and as high as 5500 in a .67 5th gear with 3.55 rear end ratio and 26" tall tires. Fuel injected 1988 5.0L Mustang with E303 cam and shorty headers, no cats.

Car got it's best mileage on that segment of the trip and it was uphill!
