GM will be announcing today they have a vehicle that gets 230 miles a gallon,
- Thread starter lloyd
- Start date
I've been hearing or reading about these "wonder cars" for decades. I'll believe it when I see it.
There's a difference between something being technically do-able and it being practical, mass-producable & affordable. Henry Ford understood that. Its my understanding that prototype flying-cars have been built before; let's all hold our breath waiting for ours.

I don't know BUT OMG PLEASE POST A LINK.
I hope they cry.
Hey elitist snob excellent point. I would like to respond by saying that there are funds in the stimulus to restructure our electrical grid to make it more efficient and give us all access to places in the country where renewable energy is abundant. So, I imagine that by the time these cars hit the road in mass
there will be contingencies in place to help us with the extra load.
edit: Thanks elwood. I really should've done my own research so thanks for helping me be lazy. I don't know about the rest of you but this kind of stuff gets me excited!! I love technology!!

A vehicle which still has not had its mileage verified, not expected until late 2010 (another year) and will cost 40K.
Big oil will shrug the announcement off.

No idea. I, however, wonder how it's going to effect the power grid. How will our power system handle the additional drain, especially during summer months when use is high. Electricity is neither cheap nor environmentally friendly to produce. I have very mixed feelings on this. Although I've really enjoyed my own prius, I'm wondering how this drain on the current electrical grids is going to play out.
Great looking car, one of the nicest looking sports car inside and out. Gets 230 miles a gallon, comes with a 40k price sticker, don't see them having a problem getting it by the looks of the car. most fuel efficient cars look ugly but this one is sharp! GM will start selling them in 2010. What I find odd, America is making great strides to become self sufficient from the big oil companies, the middle east and the rest of the world and we still have people complaining, go figure!
