nonovurbizniz yep muscle cars in the 60's had real high compression sometimes, but they also had leaded gas that at premium levels had race gas octane levels and the lead in the gas helped to keep temperatures inside the cylinders lower so that high compression was feasible. my accord with h22a and f22 high geared trans will not get 30 mpg if i dont want it to. and i drive 20 miles on the highway one way, everyday. it will get anywhere between 20 and 30 depending on how hard i am on it. member--no not the soccer formation, they had a way of controlling the valves so that at low engine load, it ran on 4 cylinders, under high load, it ran on all 8 and in the middle, it ran on 6. yes it sucked and yes everyone disabled it because it sucked, but it was a way of controlling the valves, and now they have variable solenoids that actually move the valves, they run on a duty-cycle. toyota is a japanese company? hell after over 10 years of working on them, i should know that by now. i was making a reference to the different systems and the fact that they forgot one. settle down a little, i am no being offensive or defensive, just stating facts and making comments.
