or after. if you look up team microjoule and the shell eco marathon, you'll find that in 2006 that team won a race for MPG and got over 10,000 miles per gallon on gas. Another team got over 11,600 miles per gallon on Hydrogen. ECD Ovonics developed batteries that would let your car have a 1000 mile range, but Cheveron now owns that company. don't worry, they've stopped working on that battery technology now.

The technology will not come out because the oil companies have the car industry on lock down. Yeah they might give us a break on prices every now and then but we can't determine those prices until we get them off our backs. Any technology that comes out gets bought up by the oil giants before its patented.

The ideas were out there, but the engaged management was not. We pay and they pay the price! The Middle East would be a different place right now if we had explored this technology. We had a fuel crisis in 1974 but did not heed the warnings. So now the whole world pays for their stupidity! Jack

This is EXACTLY why the automakers should be left to rot. They've been shoving the same crap down our throats for years.

exactly right! a car running on electricity has very low maintenance due to the fact that it does not require a drive train. A motor can be incorporated in each wheel and controlled via microprocessor to deliver a more powerfull and efficient handling vehicle.
