high mpg

Discussion of a report taht Toyota has the most fuel-efficent line of cars in the US. Upcoming models from Honda and VW are also mentioned.

A preliminary description of the new Honda Hybrid is given. The car is a 2010 model destined to reach dealers in late 2009. Details of the gasoline engine side of the car have not yet been disclosed, but the electric motor is reportedly driven by a nickel/metal-hydride battery rather than a lithium-ion battery. Gas mileage is thought by Road & Track to be "class leading". This new Honda may offer stiff competition for the Toyota Prius, if not as much for the plug-in hybrid Prius that is expected soon. Base price of the new Honda is an est. $19,000.

Have your every drove your car on “fumes”? They’re gas vapors that form when it evaporates. One man, John Weston, from Charlottle County, FL, has found these fumes useful and made a fueling system out of them so his car gets an incredible mileage: 463 miles per gallon! In European measurements (if I’m correct) this is 0.8L/100km!!! Wow! Not even VW’s latest gadget car can’t get this mileage!
