I have always been impressed with the amount of engine knowledge in the Neon forum.
The level of technical understanding is higher than in the Ram forums.
It would be a good challenge for one or two here
to take a Neon
reduce weight
raise engine compression ratio to the range of 11 to 12 using 'delayed intake valve closing Atkinson cycle' and a MegaSquirt efi system
and use low rolling resistance tires similar to oem on Toyota Priuses
some low cost aero mods (vortex finders at rear, belly pan)
and get MPG's on the highway
that are over 60 and close to 70
many US citizens would like to buy a Neon like that
and perhaps a side business could be profitable
buying old Neons
tricking them out that MPG improving way
and re-selling them
