I saw a article many years ago that basically said your average car is only getting to use about 3% of the available energy from said tank of gas. diesels about 7%.

most of the energy is lost in things like friction and heat.

Thats a bit low from what I've been taught. Most gasoline non-direct injection, spark ignition engines are somewhere around 30%, with the typical diesel (direct injection, compression ingition) at 38% or 42% (can not remember which one...leaning towards 42% though). All the rest of the energy being lost to what you mention.

There is almost no info on that website. And zero info on how he does it. And the only info I got was hes going to be producing 20 cars a day.

Which means its going to be 30 years before I see one. let alone drive one.

And why the heck did he pick one of the uglyer mustangs? the first link is wrong thats not a 85. 85's had 4 sealed beam glass lights.

He said its an 85 conversion. Its an 85 mustang with a 92 front end, and I believe he added hte smooth side windows. Its really common among the fox body enthusiasts. Personally I think his car is beautiful. BUt thats just me.
