I have a deposit on one of these:

I am awaiting delivery sometime in 2009. It will be the unit with the small generator - supposedly 300 MPG+



Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

It seats one, might as well put that engine on a MC frame and see what mileage and performance you get then.  That might make a descent commuter bike.
2 seater!!

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Bikes are 2 seaters as well, 3 if you have a side car.  [cheeky]

I wish i could remember what manufacturer it was - but someone ran a couple turbo diesel race cars last year and got 143 mpg at and average speed of 140..

This wasn't the Audi the ran away with the 24 hours a couple years ago  - damn my memory,

Don't know if anyone has posted this up yet, but Peugot had some diesel racing cars that were wicked fast and quite frugal on the pumps...

That's an interesting looking vehicle too. Has anyone noticed that BOTH of these hyper-conservative vehicles have borrowed their shapes from fish? Biomimicry at its best.
