C5 Corvettes get good fuel mileage!

This could be a good solution when it gets released. At current gas prices approaching $3.00/gallon this thing could pay for itself in 3 years depending on your current driving habits. United Nuclear
Use H2 for daily use and then run high octane gas on the weekends or when you want the extra power. Running on H2 will generally result in ~20% reduction in horsepower, so stockers should come in around 280-290hp vs our normal 350hp. The system promises to provide seamless transition from H2 to gas and back. Hopefully they get some kits into prodcution for consumers soon so someone can test it out

That was interesting!!!
It will be interesting to see the what the system in the C4 does! If this really works (and apparently it may), I'll be happy with the reduced HP. I previously owned a 1967 Chevy II SS with a 327 and although it didn't have the power of the LS1, it was super fun to drive!

So that's why the cars in the pic are parked on the middle of the road! 
No worries! It looks like everyone else is parked too! 
Hey, is that grass growing under the silver Vette?
