Have you guys seen this? 1 million dollar prize for a commercially viable car that gets at least 100mpgs. Using the market to come up with environmentally conscious solutions? Unpossible.

If such a thing is ever made, none of us will by it because it won't be a beautiful, European made stripped out rear wheel drive coupe with 2 lbs/hp and a 15,000 dollar price from 1986.

There are guys in Japan getting that kind of mileage out of their Prii (Priuses?). I have nothing else worthwhile to contribute.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

There are a bunch of articles on the subject.

And yeah, I know what mileage is like from the factory.
