Uh, wat. Honda engines are insanely efficient. I doubt this guy knows anything that Honda/Toyota doesn't. Honda could easily give you a 100mpg car, if it weren't for those meddling kids at the NHTSA. Damn them and their stupid, heavy airbags|crumple zones|roll cages.

Removal of that weight would not be enough to hit 100mpg, as evidenced by the fact that steady state cruising does not get you 100mpg

  I forgot that this was Hacker News, where "Serial Entrepreneurs" moonlight as leading experts in automotive engineering.

    Right, so you're an expert in automotive engineering then?
    - gonyea 10y ago
      Expert? No. But I did work with many industry experts while at Honda. I've heard plenty on the topic of engines/mpg. Thanks for playing!

        Oh, so you're not an expert at all by your own admission, but you won't listen to anybody else who is also not an expert. I'm so sorry to inform you of this but, you actually lost the debate here.

        Weak straw man. You're terrible at making arguments. Shoo.

        Replying to every little rebuttal that I make only makes you look worst. Shoo yourself.
