 If I was going to make a cars engine look like it was some sort of futuristic mega-MPG invention in the 70's, that's pretty much how i'd make it look! I'd love it to be true though.... wonder if it is? Someone must think it is because they've put a $50,000 bid on it according to the Ebay auction  |

That tall thing on the left hand side - that's one of those Hydrogen generators, isn't it? I believe the 376mpg claim now.

its not an unknown fact that the oil companies are controlling the
technology and shutting new /more efficent fuel ideas down .

so er... if US gallons are smaller than real gallons... by my calculations (probably incorrect) wouldn't that thing return 427(ish) MPG here?
and buy it now is $300,000 dollars... then by my calculations it would only take... er, about... um... lots of years to pay for itself...
damn cool though!

It's the oil companies who're funding the research into alternative fuels in a bid to not actually die when the oil runs out. Governments imposing windfall taxes on them just because they fancy some more money to spend on spin doctors does not help...  |

they keep claiming its a world record holder.... so if it is then surely the MPG recorded must be accurate? |
