Rich, I have had a 51 MPG engine for 2 years now... But creating it has not been economically feasible. Len and I started the MPG development back in 2004 and it has been ongoing (slowly) since then.

I still stand by my statement that even at 51 MPG a MAJORITY of the people here on these boards would still not drive their 914 daily and give up the BS modern creature comforts that they are spoiled by. I state this even with the 4 buck per gallon gas prices that are forecasted because people will just keep driving their "safe" (BS) SUVs and slapping their rug rats in the back shoving a DVD in the player and letting the brats be further spoiled... They'll worry about the gas prices when they max out another credit card thats being used for buying all that gas- they don't care about it today and probably won't for a few months/ years.

What we are shooting for now is emissions and ethanol compliance....

Like I have said many times, give me even 20 people who want a 45-50 MPG 914 for everyday use and I'll create a package. I think you'll have a very difficult finding them.

How much is the kit? And is it a little spunkier than a stock 2.0? my stock 2.0 w/F.I. was just right for toolin' around town in, running errands and such, and still had a little bit of a 'fun' factor.
