Funny - looks like it could be handy moving cows off the road.

i hate new technology in cars. they just make them cost way more. give me a mustang with manual everything, no air bags, and the new shelby motor. thing would only be worth like, 10k then lol

I wish it listed what he did to the engine, I don't think it's possible to get that good of gas mileage from just tape and plastic.

Remember these ecomodder are hypermiling. So the achieve these high mpg they must be very light on the throttle.

My CA version stock VX gets 43-45mpg city and 50-55 highway with hypermilling.
