Well, for 5 quid you gotta chose where you want quality, I guess.

Apparently, one Elio (55hp) would require 35,265,256.18 calories per hr., with the average chicken pot pie containing around 800 calories, you'd need 44081 pot pies to travel 70 miles at current legal highway speeds in Missouri. Sorry Wheaters, not sure what the conversion would be for "plain old meat pie", but I'm betting it wouldn't fit in an 8 gallon tank. Good thing the Elio runs on gasoline!

Which brings us nicely back on topic about the Elio engine. How much HP do people expect for less than the price of a cheap secondhand car?

Sorry, just wanted to add that bean burritos may be a better alternate fuel source VS meat pies as methane produces approx. 1000 btu's per cubic foot. One bean burrito is good for at least 10 cubic feet of methane in my experience.

so let's just see, you were expecting your next s**t to spell disaster , I can't begin to imagine what your expectations will be with a high methane mix!!

Right! I'd better consider re-jetting and keep an eye on the head pressure (head-Navy term there
). Don't want to blow a seal! (not talking about marine mammals...that's a different thread)Edit: Nope, it's this thread, and I believe that's still legal in Missouri.

There was a song they used to play on 104 , "wet dream" I think it was. Was something about driving to work and blew a seal. They always played it when it was raining, made me smile
