This car will do VERY well for obvious reasons. It's safe (so we are told) and gas prices are high. I will guess that gas prices will remain where they are or get higher over the next few years. At around 90 mpg, the Elio will find an instant market. If Elio Motors decides to spend a few million dollars on aftermarket parts assessments and improvements, they could theoretically build a turbocharged, low rpm engine which could move Elio along at freeway speeds at around 2000 pm. This could improve Elio's mileage by AT LEAST 30% since the current engine with 5 speed will probably be turning at around 20mph per 1000 rpm. In other words, the Elio will be at around 3000 rpm at 60mph. All efficient, modern cars are geared at around 30mph per 1000 rpm or around 30% less that the Elio. Granted the Elio's engine is only 1 liter, yet could still benefit GREATLY from a lower rpm at freeway speeds. The turbo system could increase Elio's torque at low rpm, allowing it to run a 30/1000 rpm and assist in obtaining around 120 mpg. I bet there are kids working on this modification as I type. I give it ONE MONTH after initial release of this car before someone in their garage straps on a turbo and switches out the engine output and transmission input gears in order to lower freeway cruising rpm's. Are these parts easy to obtain? They've been available online for the past 20 years...
