Default 80mpg & 400hp Fox Body Mustang
Although I always felt that Engines have way more potential for fuel economy since modern day engines only operate at ~15% efficiency I somehow doubt this guy has made such a breakthrough.

A 38 year old electronics engineer and master mechanic shouldn't say "like at 38 %". Like oh my gawd.
