| Re: 230 miles per gallon? 200mpg sounds really good taking in that cars have an average of 30mpg nowadays... It looks like its only a one seater though... I probably wont buy it.

| Re: 230 miles per gallon? I'm not sure how big the gas tank is but 2 gallos would be enough to get me to and from work for a month. It would be nice to only pay ~$8 a month for gas. That price might be about $12 month in 2010 though...

| Re: 230 miles per gallon? If the prototype really works, and if the first batch is selling well, other companies may jump in, technological innovation may reduce cost and extend designs, so in 10 years perhaps 4-seat car may be available, even with less efficiency, say 150 miles per gallon. Still, that is about 5 times as compared to 30 mpg now. Well, should I become one guinea pig for the new car?
