I started reading then looked at the car, seating and impractical shape, size and usefulness... and closed the browser ;)

What good is 1l / 100km if you can't actually use it?

Well, I just ordered an engine that gets 1km/l at full throttle, so I guess fuel economy is not high on my list of priorities at the moment ;)

Dear Boneheads,

don't you think that lessons learnt developing a car as economical as this will help to make other more mainstream cars more economical.

Don't be so short sighted.
