Have your ever ran your car on “fumes”? They’re gas vapors that form when it evaporates.One man, John Weston, from Charlotte County, FL, has found these fumes useful and made a fueling system out of them so his car gets an incredible mileage: 463 miles per gallon!

That car gets better gas mileage than the new and improved NON-cloned Honda Z50 that is being re-released (no mention of N. America, but apparently not Britain either according to the article)that only gets 282 mpg! :?

Makes sense.

Only the vaporous part of the fuel burns well normally.

In most cases that is just a fraction of the fuel run thru the motor.

Liquid part burns too slowly and results in flames out into the headers and stuff.

"Monkey bike"? 8O
I thought Honda's have wings....

Does this mean the little bike is a flying monkey from the land of Oz?

Now I know the true origin of Anti MonkeyButt Powder...hehe
