      May even one up the ipad

      China launches $600 car that will get 258 mpg

      This $600 car is no toy and is ready to be released in China next year.

      The single seater aero car totes VW (Volkswagen) branding.

      Volkswagen did a lot of very highly protected testing of this car in
      Germany, but it was not announced until now where the car would make it's
      first appearance.

      The car was introduced at the VW stockholders meeting as the most economical
      car in the world is presented.

      The initial objective of the prototype was to prove that 1 liter of fuel
      could deliver 100 kilos of travel.

        Hi folks.

        1 liter per 100 km = 235.21 miles per gallon (US gallon) or 282.47 miles per gallon (imperial gallon).

        Just ideas.

          I think the VW stockholders first thoughts would be about how a vehicle selling for less that $1,000 will effect sales of their $15k - $45k vehicles.

                Considering that its single seater as well, you can get pretty close to equal per person efficiency in a standard 50 mpg car. Probably cost you a little more to start with, though.

                          In the UK the 'bubble-car' was also sold as a 3-wheeled no-reverse-gear model - it was popular because it was legally a motorbike and so avoided taxes and driving-license requirements... My mum's cousin had one and loved it until one day he parked it facing a wall into a corner, against another car... The only door opens out at the front - there was a wall in way and the small sliding side windows were too close to other things to squeeze out of... With no reverse gear - he was stuck in the car for ages... until he got a passerby to push it away from the wall so he could get out of the door... 😒
