youll be struggling to get 25-30mpg at full throttle!

a 1.6 with a decent head job, reasonable compression a piper bp300 and a decent exhaust manifold. add in mappable management and run her lean (but safely lean) and you should get what you want....

but to be honst, if youre being gay about fuel consumption you really shoulndt be modifying stuff you homosexual.
