they should use a diesel engine, get a small VW 1.9 TDI motor.  I bet they would get the mileage up even higher yet.  Time to say goodbye to gasoline.

This is a fraud.  Let's see the independent testing results.  Anyone can build a car that has theoretically 104mpg performance.  My company designed a car that achieved 91mpg in 2010 and we got shut down for patent infringing.  To achieve the 91mpg it's much harder than you would ever imagine.  If this site was not so full of BS they would be billionaires already.  I'm sure a billionaire can also afford a website that functions.  I think people really do not understand how hard it actually is to achieve 100mpg.  Just one picture gives it all away.  You can see there is a standard belt driven alternator on the engine.  You can't have it at all.  The closest that you can get with a belt driven electrical feed is 81mpg from the testing we performed just with the engine and highly modified fuel and input in New Mexico at 2 different labs.  81 considering you are powering a lawn chair bolted to the engine with a 40 pound girl sitting in the seat.  Alot of people don't realize how hard it is.  No one is going to buy a car that only 1 person can drive and make them everywhere.  People need to take there kids to school or day care or go to the store with there family and get groceries. 
I think a 100mpg car can be achieved but it will never be marketed because most of the designs needed are patented already and the owners will not let you use them.  For instance the water plasma reactor needed for a water assist engine is owned by Shell and there is no way they are going to let you put it on vehicles and make a billion dollars taking away business for them.

What was the patent number of the patent that you were alleged to be infringing?

Did that patent get accepted by the European Patent Office?

I ask because a vast number of US patents are granted but worthless because
the US office, in the past, has just not been doing its stuff. They are seen to be junk the
moment anyone actually challenges them. They lack "novelty" or they lack an "inventive
step".

Let us know the  patent number.
