239 MPG Car

Kozmik writes "VW/Audi has a history of being a leader in creating super fuel efficient vehicles. They currently sell the most fuel efficient car in the world, 3L Lupo and the Audi A2, and the most fuel efficient station wagon (Jetta TDI Wagon). Now VW is experimenting with something along the lines of the Honda Insight ( a 2 person vehicle ). The 1L VW concept car can achieve .89L/100kms or 239MPG. With Biodiesel and Ultra low sulfur diesel becoming available, hopefully more of these vehicles will come to North America. These fuels are already available in Europe and combined with the new catalyst technology they use, these new engines produce very low emissions." It's nice to talk about alternative fuels, but I have yet to see a gas station selling one of them.

    right seeing as the number one health concern of most americans is their body weight. Sorry tubby people this car is not for you, That is to say the bigger you are the more uncomfortable it is as well as the worse fuel economy you get.

    you're right

    i am reading less and less slashdot posts. i consider their content to be american-made and american-targeted all the way. it is quite discriminating for people in Europe.
