The 25mpg is in mostly suburban and road driving and little moderaton is used at red lights, where the 0-60 time of 6.5 seconds or so really pays off). My Honda Express never got more than 70mpg which really made me mad. Sure needs streamlining and some wind-tunnel tests. Anybody know where I can get high-test leaded gas? Octane boosters are OK but what am I going to do about the lead, and my valves? J. Frey
