110 MPG car.

Some guy tweaked a mustang engine to get 110 mpg, whilst still having 400 horsepower, 0-60 in 3 sec etc. Source: Engineer Gets 110 MPG Out Of '87 Mustang - Automotive News Story - WDIV Detroit

WTF? 110 miles per gallon. If some engineer in nowhere ohio can make a car this efficient it seems like Ford GM or Toyota could do this as well.

Man, I don't want to be the guy everyone says, "your a wacky conspiracy theorist" but I'll just say it. We have known how to make fuel efficient cars that can go farther than that for years and years now.

Does the engine still have the same lifespan?

Not possible if he's running on gas alone.
