if GM would go back on themselves and pump out EV1’s for the hippies, they could make craploads of sweet v8’s for those with testicles in their scrotums.

1x 18mpg v8 + 1x infinite mpg EV1 = ~36mpg average between the two… that is if the law allows for this.

even so GM’s pushrod v8’s in cars are decent as far as v8’s and MPG’s go. i wonder what theyd get out of it with direct injection. they are only using it on their 6’s and 4’s right?
