from the link:

Without the slightest fault developing, the experimental vehicle, its body unpainted in order to save weight, and bearing the highly significant number plate 'WOB - L 1', competed the 230 km (143 mile) long journey. Its average speed was 75 km/h (46.6 mph) and the destination was therefore reached in only three hours. Of the contents of the fuel tank, which holds 6.5 liters (1.7 gallons), only 2.1 liters (.55 gallons) were found to have passed through the engine's fuel injection system.

My childhood love of Volkswagens is vindicated.

wasnt there a guy a few years ago who claimed to have made a car that runs only on water, then he died and his prototype and lab accidentally went on fire?

i remember reading that a long time ago in a paper.

Well that tops the hell outta the hybrids I've seen advertized on TV. "40 miles per gallon highway? My Geo gets 36 and it's ten years old."

It's got a single cylinder engine and the body is made of carbon fiber composites.

Chances are, you'll never see this car at a dealership, but you will find normal-lookin' cars with some of that technology in two or three years. Kreskin predicts.
