40 mpg Hybrids may be great for some people but they are unrealistic gutless choices for the average American. Miles per Gallon was rarely even considered until the fuel shortages in the seventies and over the next ten years the average miles per gallon nearly doubled. Since then improvement has nexted to flatlined for the last thirty years with little improvement. With all the new found technology why hasn’t a car company come up with realistic car with good gas milage. If they made just one reliable, good milage car and actually invested in finding some ways to cut fuel usage like they did in the seventies they would have a winner on thier hands that could kick start the economy.
One Ford Engineer Has made it possible with his 3 wheeled, 505 lbs, green machine (although it is actually red). It is currently regisetered as a motor cycles as it has a 250cc Kawasaki Ninja motorcyle engine in it. It seats two people and has three wheels. A small but powerful engine couples with an great 0.16 coefficient of drag makes 125 mpg possible when coupled with motorcycle tires instead of the the regular wheels which average 105 mpg. Either way it is one of the most effecient choices when the fact that it runs on regular fuel and is completly street legal. It was up for sale on ebay but no one ever purchased it but the listing is still avaible here.
