For a singleton prototype from the mid-80s, twenty-first century emissions and safety standards indeed do not apply. But the X-car was for a car that has a chance of being commercially manufactured.

By time this car meets Tier II and crashworthiness standards, I think 100 MPG will be beyond his car. But I wish him luck.
