That's a refreshing article. Much different from what most are writing about. There is a mention at the end about a car running on propane. I guess it would be an engine similar to diesel. It makes me think how awesome it would be if we converted to E100/alcohol. A fuel coil could be used for cold starts. More power & exempt emissions.

Ah yes, I have heard of it being used that way. But thats completely different than using it as a the only fuel.

I'm glad someone wrote that in English - the word "average" is the key. If all cars had to manage 35mpg then chaps like Ferrari and Lamborghini would be selling cars to their own and no one else.
However, these rules still help get us better mileage out of our muscle cars. God knows it should be possible by now!
