I've heard of this ride and had been wondering if it was actually going to be put into production. Seems so. 300 mpg, under 30k, and modest acceleration might make this the Prius for the next 10 years.

Even if it never makes it to the street my frustration is that there are brilliant techno folks out there that can produce something like this yet the "Big Three" and the accompanying "Big Oil" manage to find a way to squash such ideas for the sake of the Almighty $$$$.

(But I can yell only so loud--I'm only getting 16 VX mpg's)
