And to think it's hard to find cars that get a hundredth of that.

Nice idea... but looking at the vehicle, and the picture of someone inside it, well, you'd die of cramp before you got there.

Even less then that for me =D

I burned 5 gallons alone yesterday.

I think the story about the guy who got his car to run off of food grease was more interesting though

Take into account, that "car" is completly areodynamic, and very small. I would guess the weight is prolly as much as the person driving it, also they never said how fast it could go.

Supermileage competition cars usually require a minimum average speed of 15 mph (24 km/h or 0.000000022367474c) to be allowed to participate. Road-based transportation vehicles can never be completely aerodynamic, but by the looks of it, that likely comes pretty close.

Lose weight then. Stop making our country look fat.

I'm sure they have produced cars capable of insane miles to the gallon ratios, but if they released them it would be a big money loser to the gas companies and other car industries.
