In fact, as a result of the current gas price jump, GM is looking at offering our 260HP I4 as a low end option on the new Camaro, which currently carries a 300 HP V6 on the low end.
They should be looking at electric gasoline hybrid replacement instead. I saw a company that did the coversion on a Saturn SUV and it was getting 150 mpg with 370 hp.

I want to start making kits to put on exsisting cars why buy something new when you can just upgrade what you have. Although it would be nice to work with Saturn to start making some designs to revolutionize the market for green vehicals.

The gas prices are going to breed a whole new world of inventions and economy for the U.S.
