There are some radical vehicles ut there that get phenomenal gas
mileage. But they all go slow. Remember the post not long ago about the
schools contest to come up with a vehcle that would ge 1600 miles to a
gallon? I think the kinds had one go 1200 miles or so to a gallon. That
is 1200 - not just 12, but 1200.miles per gallon.
