100MPG Car ! 1c per mile 1000Miles per tank of gas!

This proves that the technology is available right now! So lets all stop paying $3to$4 for gas and lets all plug in. If GM&Ford don't want to do it that's fine we will all buy a car from whoever produces one. I drive a GM right now but the next car we buy will be a plug in EV (electric vehicle) or plug in hybrid (PHEV -- plug in hybrid electric vehicle)

@ThePPPTrainAndCarFan Honda Fit easily.

Say you drive 15K per year at $3.5 per gallon. The Fit would cost you $1,458 while the Prius would cost $455, so the Fit cost $1,000 more per year. However, the Prius (with the plug-in conversion) costs $26K compared to the Fit's $15K -- an $11K difference. You would have to drive that 100+MPG Prius for 11 years before the price difference is justified!

The Prius (with conversion) would only make sense if it costs $17K or less.

well dufus, why dont u put 1gal gasoline in your car, drive it 1000 miles on that and electricity, the u could put a sign on your car that says "1000 MPG"!!!!!!?! :-) ;')

Your prius costs at least 4.5 cents/mile to drive if u use a tank every 1000 miles. Nothing wrong with that, but lets have a little accuracy and reality here U are a mathematical disaster,and a jackass. Im not putting down electrical cars here--just you.

How many KW hours is the battery?

[neelonghunglow]

hmm were does the electricity come from? not gasoline? burning coal then? you have to curb americas needless over consumption first. other wise you are wasting your time..i like were your head is at though. we need more people that care.

[motormaniac50]

funny i can buy an older civic or a ford festiva and get 40mpgs and pay like $2000 for a decent one and save all kinds of money on gas and insurance. Newer cars care too much about creature comforts we had the technology 20 yrs ago to get 40 mpgs on a 1.5l engine so wouldn't u think we should be getting like 80mpgs by now on gas?

Has anyone seen the electric prices lately?

[Me102288]

@MrKaotix123 so the BMW Hydrogen 7 runs on hydrogen.. we can all easily get hydrogen from water using electrolysis

why are we still buying, water is free

[Me102288]

beat you already.. Hydrogen fueled cars use 0 gasoline.

as for solar.. wind turtbine cost many many times less, with the same output..

$300 solar panel is maybe around 300 watts

a $300 wind turbine you can buildf yourself will generally put out more the 1000 watts.

when solar gets cheaper that might change, but as of yet, solar will not make the money you paid back for several years...

They do not want a 100mpg car. Your goal was accomplished back in the 40s. 

[MrKaotix123]

@Rezxer it doesnt really matter if it runs off gas or you plug your car in. Both use hydrocarbon energy to create the fuel. So basically you are not going to a traditional gas station but you plug it in and in effect directly burning extra hydrocarbon energy. Did you know at a grocery store it takes 10 calories of hydrocarbon energy to create 1 calorie of food we eat. Gasoline is the least of our problems. Wake up we are screwed.

All the electricity you use to charge that car comes from coal you FAIL. Electricity is not better than gas in any way shape or form, unless you have solar and windmills connected to your house it won't do any good.

Typical California hippies. I'm perfectly happy with my turbocharged AWD that get's 22-25 mpg.
