I wanted one of these so bad 3 years ago and I still might, but we have a Ford Fiesta in the drive way that gets the same MPG, so I don't know. I hope they make this all electric or at least put in a burn everything diesel.
I've been talking to my brother for years about taking a simple electric fan motor, the kind you'd buy from Grainger that runs on 120V with a 3/4 to 1" shaft and hooking it up to like a Toyota Corolla and putting a Honda generator in the trunk. Me thinks over a hundred mpg. Your typical electric motor turns at 3500 rpm. Your typical Toyota Corolla runs 60-65 mph at 2500 rpm in top gear. If you use something like a bench grinder, the RPM is higher and the other end can run AC and PS.

youfja: That's not true. Nissan just announced that the Nissan Leaf gets an "equivalent" of 367 mpg, and it will be priced competitively with the Prius.
The consumer demographic that is interested in "eco" cars will not pay $40K for a Chevy Volt.
nobody even knows how the test was even peformed. If someone never drives further than 40 miles, than it could have a million miles a gallon. What youfja was stating was the fact that domestic cars more often than not obtain higher MPG's than it's Japanese counterpart. Silverado, Malibu, Cobalt, etc...

That's not correct. You need to think about the problem of torque and horse power.
