Smokey was a genius. I believe he made an 83 Fiero get over 50mpg by running the engine extremely hot almost to the threshold of engine failure. Don't know how long it lasted before it grenaded...if it did. He also helped Goodyear design special tires that would go for over 70,000 miles without treadwear. Need to order his book.
