first off, this is absolutely wrong. second of all, actually cadillac had something similar to vtec way back in the 80's. anyone ever heard of 4-6-8? oh and while we are talking about it, dont forget that toyota has vvt-i and vvtl-i. variable valve timing with intelligence and variable valve timing and lift with intellegence.

vtec in ALL honda vtec engines (barring the d15) are performance minded it has NOTHING to do with fuel economy... most 16valve 4bangers get identical if not better gas milage. economy is a benifit of running MUCH less than half of the average v8's displacement.

do you have a vtec engine in your car? is so, drive it hard, really hard so that you stay in vtec almost all the time, see what your gas mileage goes to.
