This guy is doing amazing stuff to some Hummers with some pretty basic technologies. I'd love to have the money for one of his upgrades and show it off to a Prius or two.

"And when it's time to fill the tank, he'll be able to just pull up to the back of a diner and dump in its excess french-fry grease--as he does with his many other Hummers. Oh, yeah, he adds, the horsepower will double--from 300 to 600."

""Conservatively," Goodwin muses, scratching his chin, "it'll get 60 miles to the gallon. With 2,000 foot-pounds of torque. You'll be able to smoke the tires. And it's going to be superefficient.""

That was a great article. I dont see any of it possible, but leave it to the mad scientist to make it happen. I would love to see 2000ftlb of torque and 60mpg...conservatively.:giggling: :beerchug:
