Really? Gimme a link! That's more than they had 2 years ago. All I could find was a vague statement that they "like to use" biodiesel type fuels, and that they had a hybrid MYT in a Ford Focus that they "can't talk about". It seems weird to me, but there seems to be a LOT of stuff they're keeping hush-hush. I mean, they have a PATENT on the design, so what is there to keep secret-- other than maybe that they don't have all the bugs worked out yet. I just get this weird feeling like someone's going for my wallet when on the one hand they show up at auto shows trumpeting the virtues of their design, but when asked for an actual working prototype or the name of a major company that WANTS one, they clam up and say it's "secret". -- John Bange '90 Vanagon - "Geldsauger"
