Details are slim.  But the guy did enter his car in the $10 Million Progressive Automobile contest, so we should find out soon if this is legit or not.

   There is a copy of a government mandate that said there would be no
car getting over 40mpg in 2003. Well before that europe come out with
a diesel car that could get 200mpg but was scrapped due to pressure.
   Its all in what will be allowed. All I can say is "watch your back mate,
spread the info around multiple places. But he will see $$ and get the
shaft in the end and no car.  DOH!

Back in the early 1990's I started looking into these inventions and found that there has been a long continous effort since the 1930's to keep the auto at the same level .But it's worst than that .Now I have learned that the vaccines we give our kids have aluninum and merury compounds that give them learning disablities.Now who decided to make our kids dummies?So 1 out of 166 kids have a problem
and it appears that certain people in the U.S. government were behind this(1988).So what can we do about this?Triffid

Back in 1985 I bought a 1986 chevy sprint(standard) that got 50mpg..Two years later they stopped making them and I was forced to sell the car ten years later(couldn't find another engine for it)I had already replaced 3 engines and could not find a fourth one.So they had a car that got 50mpg.Triffid

"According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the midsize Prius gets 48 miles per gallon in the city, eight mpg more than the runner-up, the Honda Civic Hybrid. Each car gets 45 mpg on the highway."
